Investigate Water Loss Without Unnecessary Property Damage

A leak survey systematically investigates suspected water loss when the source isn’t clear. Rather than focusing on a single stain, damp area, or fixture, it considers the available evidence and potential leak locations before repair or access work begins.

Warning signs may include an unexplained increase in the water bill, running-water sounds when fixtures are off, warm or cold floor spots, unusually wet ground, or a water meter that keeps moving when no water is being used. Non-invasive testing can narrow the likely source before walls, slabs, landscaping, or pavement are opened.

Call (770) 741-2534 to discuss the warning signs at your property and schedule a leak survey in Marietta.

More Than 40 Years of Non-Invasive Leak Detection

We bring more than 40 years of leak-detection industry experience to homes, businesses, and municipal properties. Our technicians use advanced equipment and methods to locate hidden water and sewer leaks while avoiding unnecessary damage.

A leak survey serves a different purpose from a single-point inspection. An inspection typically focuses on one suspected fixture or location, while a survey can evaluate a broader system when the source remains uncertain. Detection is also separate from repair: it provides clearer direction about where access, maintenance, or corrective work may be needed.

What you can expect from our service:

Prepared technicians: Our technicians complete extensive training in leak-detection methods and equipment.
Upfront pricing: We explain the price before service proceeds.
Clear communication: We set expectations for arrival and the anticipated service timeframe.
Respect for your property: We leave the premises clean when our work is complete.

What a Leak Survey Can Investigate

The appropriate scope depends on the property, system design, accessible test points, and whether the suspected loss is inside a structure or below ground. Based on the reported symptoms, a survey may examine one system or several possible sources.

Potential survey areas include:

Pressurized water-supply lines inside a building.
In-wall, under-floor, or slab plumbing.
Underground water lines and buried service connections.
Irrigation systems and associated piping.
Pools, spas, and connected circulation systems.
Commercial or municipal water distribution components.

Testing must fit the system. A concealed pipe beneath a slab presents different diagnostic conditions from an irrigation line, pool system, or larger distribution network.

How Leak-Survey Diagnostics Work

We begin with the property owner’s observations, available system information, water-use patterns, and meter activity. Those details guide our testing instead of assuming every warning sign has the same cause.

Testing methods may include:

Acoustic leak detection: Sensitive listening equipment can identify sounds associated with water escaping from a pressurized line.
Pressure testing: Changes in pressure can indicate whether a tested section is losing water.
Thermal imaging: An infrared camera reveals temperature patterns that may warrant closer investigation.
Line locating: Specialized equipment traces concealed or underground lines before targeted testing or access.

Not every property requires every method. We select equipment based on the construction, suspected system, access conditions, and evidence found during testing. The findings can give property owners, maintenance teams, insurers, plumbers, or repair contractors a more informed starting point for further work.

When Marietta Water-Meter Activity Signals a Problem

Marietta Power and Water advises customers to stop using water and check whether the meter continues moving. Continued movement can indicate a loss somewhere in the system, but it won’t reveal the source.

Professional testing is useful when the suspected leak is underground, behind finished surfaces, beneath a slab, or potentially connected to more than one system. A systematic survey investigates those possibilities without beginning with broad demolition or excavation.

Get Clear Direction Before Repair Work Begins

Tell us what you’ve observed, where the symptoms appear, and whether the concern involves a home, business, or municipal property. We can discuss the system, explain whether a survey fits the situation, and outline the next step for service in Marietta.

"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.
