Hidden leaks waste water and damage framing, flooring, and drywall long before you see a puddle. Guessing means extra holes in your home. Our plumbers use listening and pressure tools to narrow the location first. Then you choose how to repair it, with the total price known upfront.
A steady hidden leak can run around the clock. Compare recent bills with the same months last year.
Shut off all faucets and appliances, then watch the meter's leak indicator. Movement means water is escaping somewhere.
A leaking hot water line under a slab can warm tile or carpet above it. This is a classic slab leak sign.
Hissing or trickling inside walls or floors often means pressurized water is escaping from a supply line.
Water travels along framing before it shows. The stain may sit a few feet away from the actual leak.
A large supply line leak can drop pressure at every fixture. It can also point to a broken yard line.
A wet patch or unusually green strip in dry weather often marks a leaking water service line.

Typical times. Your plumber confirms the plan and timing after diagnosis.
Leak detection pricing depends on how hard the leak is to find and what repair it needs. Once located, your plumber gives you a full menu of options and the total cost before any work begins. For slab leaks, that often means comparing a spot repair with rerouting the line.
| Leak location | Leaks under a slab cost more to reach than leaks in a wall. |
|---|---|
| Number of lines tested | Testing hot, cold, and yard lines separately adds time. |
| Repair method | A spot repair and a full reroute differ in labor and materials. |
| Flooring and finishes | Tile, hardwood, or cabinets over the leak can change the access plan. |
| Pipe material | Older or failing pipe may make a larger replacement the smarter choice. |

Georgia's Piedmont red clay swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. That seasonal movement can stress pipes buried in the soil and the slabs above them. Across Fayette and Coweta Counties, many homes sit on concrete slabs, so supply lines run below the floor. When one leaks, precise detection keeps demolition to a small area.
Hard freezes also expose leaks. Water expands as it freezes, and a pipe can split in a crawlspace or exterior wall without showing damage until it thaws. After a cold snap in Tyrone or Newnan, watch your meter and water bill. A small crack left alone can waste a lot of water and soak framing.
Clay soil swells in wet months and shrinks in drought, which can stress buried pipes.
Many local homes run water lines under concrete slabs, where leaks stay hidden longer.
Pipes cracked during a freeze often start leaking only after the ice thaws.
Common slab leak signs include warm spots on the floor, a rising water bill, the sound of running water, and a meter that moves with everything off. Many Peachtree City homes sit on slabs, so these clues matter. A plumber can confirm the leak with pressure testing and pinpoint it before opening concrete.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Fayette-Coweta is based in Tyrone and handles hidden and slab leak detection across Fayette and Coweta Counties.

Yes. A leak inside a wall, under a slab, or in the yard line can run constantly without any visible sign. That water still passes through your meter. If your bill rises while your habits stay the same, check the meter with all fixtures off, then call a plumber to find the source.
Turn off every faucet, appliance, and irrigation zone. Then look at your water meter. Most meters have a small leak indicator that spins when water flows. If it moves, water is escaping somewhere. Write down the reading, wait an hour without using water, and check again to confirm.
A slab leak is a leak in a water or drain line that runs under your home's concrete foundation. Because the pipe is buried, you may only notice warm floors, damp carpet, cracks, or a higher water bill. Finding it precisely matters, since every extra foot of opened concrete adds repair work.
Not always. Pinpointing the leak first keeps any opening small. For some slab leaks, rerouting the line through walls or the attic avoids breaking concrete at all. Your plumber explains each option, including what it means for your flooring, and gives the total cost before you decide.
A burst pipe, water pouring through a ceiling, or water near electrical outlets is an emergency. Shut off the main water valve and call us 24/7. A slow drip or a small bill increase is less urgent, but it still wastes water and can damage framing over time, so schedule a visit soon.
Many homes have a main valve where the water line enters the house, often in a garage, utility room, crawlspace, or near the water heater. There is also a utility valve at the meter near the street. Find yours before an emergency. Your plumber can show you during any visit.
That depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Coverage rules vary, so call your insurance company to ask. What we can do is document what we find, explain the cause in plain terms, and give you written details of the repair so you have them for your records.
