About North Georgia Leak Detection in Calhoun, GA

Our plumbing inspection is a thorough check of your home's water and sewer systems. We look for signs of leaks, corrosion, and blockages. Given our local hard water, we pay special attention to mineral scaling inside pipes that can cause weak spots. We also inspect for issues related to our shifting clay soils, checking sewer line alignment and looking for stress points. The inspection often utilizes tools like sewer scopes and thermal imaging cameras to see problems that aren't visible to the naked eye, giving you a complete picture of your plumbing's health.

We use specialized equipment and techniques to locate underground leaks without unnecessary digging. This can include acoustic listening devices to hear the sound of water escaping under pressure, and thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences in the ground caused by leaking water. For sewer line leaks, we may use smoke testing to trace the path of escaping smoke. Our goal is to pinpoint the exact location of the problem, which saves you time, money, and preserves your landscaping.

Absolutely. This is a common issue here. The expansive clay soil in our area absorbs water and shifts with the weather, which can put pressure on buried sewer pipes. This shifting can cause pipes to crack, collapse, or become misaligned at the joints, leading to persistent blockages and slow drains. We address this by first locating your sewer line and then using a sewer scope—a small camera—to travel through the pipe. This lets us visually inspect for soil intrusion, cracks, or offsets caused by ground movement, so we can recommend the most effective repair.
