Leak Surveys in Lawrenceville

Name: American Leak Detection of Greater Atlanta

More Than 40 Years of Non-Invasive Water-Loss Investigation

Abnormal usage, unexplained pressure changes, recurring wet ground, and differences between supplied and accounted-for water can signal a concealed leak. Left unresolved, buried water loss can increase operating costs, waste resources, and complicate repairs.

Leak Surveys examine water loss across interconnected infrastructure rather than one visible fixture. We work with Lawrenceville property managers, facility teams, multifamily operators, and municipal organizations to investigate commercial and municipal water systems.

Discuss the affected property or water distribution system with our team. Call (770) 741-2534 to request service.

Where Leak Surveys Fit Commercial & Municipal Systems

The appropriate scope depends on the system layout, suspected loss area, available records, access conditions, and investigation objective. A commercial campus has different operational concerns from a multifamily property or municipal distribution network.

Leak Surveys may be appropriate for:

Commercial property managers: Investigating unexplained consumption across private distribution lines, landscaped areas, shared systems, or multiple buildings.
Multifamily operators: Evaluating concealed water loss affecting common infrastructure or several structures on one site.
Facility teams: Narrowing suspected leak locations before coordinating excavation, maintenance, or repairs.
Municipal departments and utilities: Defining investigation areas involving water mains, service connections, meters, valves, hydrants, or pressure zones.

Narrowing Suspected Leaks Before Excavation

Our Leak Detection Without Destruction™ principle guides how we approach concealed water loss. Trained technicians use non-invasive technology and advanced methods to narrow suspected leak locations without causing unnecessary property damage.

More precise location information can help the responsible operator prioritize repairs and coordinate the appropriate maintenance team or contractor. It also reduces uncertainty before destructive access or broad excavation is considered.

How to Define the Survey Scope

When you contact us, describe the property or system involved, the symptoms you have observed, and the decision the investigation needs to inform. Available maps, utility records, water-usage data, pressure information, and known complaint locations can help define the survey area.

Useful details to share include:

The boundaries of the property or water system under review.
The location and timing of wet areas, pressure changes, or usage increases.
Known pipe materials, service connections, and accessible system components.
The repair-planning or operational decision the findings need to support.

We provide honest, upfront pricing through our “Know Before You Go” approach. Our technicians arrive on time, work within the agreed timeframe, and leave the premises clean after completing the service.

What a Water Distribution Survey Evaluates

A distribution-system survey examines a defined network for signs of concealed water loss. Depending on the infrastructure and available access, the investigation area may include water mains, service connections, meters and valves, hydrants, and other accessible points.

Usage records, pressure information, distribution maps, complaint locations, and recurring surface moisture can indicate where field investigation should begin. Buried leaks don’t always produce visible water at the surface, so several operational signs may need to be considered together.

Non-revenue water enters a distribution system but isn’t ultimately accounted for through billed consumption. Physical leakage is one possible contributor, although metering and administrative issues can also affect the difference between supplied and accounted-for water.

How Non-Invasive Field Investigation Informs Repairs

The process generally begins with a review of the system configuration, suspected loss area, and reason for the investigation. Field methods depend on factors such as pipe material, pressure, access, and system layout.

We use advanced equipment and methods to locate concealed leaks without unnecessary property damage. Documented findings can help indicate where repairs should be considered, which areas warrant priority, and whether further evaluation is appropriate.

Lawrenceville & Gwinnett County Water-System Responsibilities

Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources serves Lawrenceville water customers following the transition of the city’s water service to the county system. Reports involving public water mains or utility-owned infrastructure should be directed to the responsible public agency for review.

Public utility investigation doesn’t replace evaluation of private commercial, multifamily, or property-side distribution systems. Responsibility can depend on the suspected leak’s location relative to the meter, service connection, and privately maintained infrastructure.

Property managers and facility teams should identify the affected area, review available account or meter information, and clarify which parts of the system they maintain. We can then discuss whether a non-invasive survey fits the suspected loss, investigation objective, and available access.

Discuss Your Water-Loss Concerns With Our Team

Accurate, non-invasive investigation can give commercial and municipal decision-makers clearer information before they authorize excavation or repairs. Tell us about the property or distribution system, the observed symptoms, and the outcome you need so we can discuss an appropriate scope.

Call (770) 741-2534 to discuss water-loss investigation for a commercial, multifamily, or municipal system.

"All was a very good experience with such a monumental leak."
“Jim came on two different leak situations. The first time was an absolute ludicrous leak that the water company said has used 400,000 gallons of water in 1 month. So they turned our water off. Jim resolved that issue and worked with our insurance company and it was very smooth going. They spotted the leak and it was fixed and then noticed another area that might be a problem, but no water leaking. They warned us of this area. Five months later we noticed a bill that was going up. Sure enough, we called Jim again and out he came and found the leak and it was under a sink and pinpointed that leak and it was resolved immediately. Jim is such a nice person and so easy to talk with and communicate with when a woman is all but looney with NO WATER. And, a second leak. All was a very good experience with such a monumental leak.”

- Phyllis M.
"Thanks to the whole team!"
