Leak Detection & Repair, Gwinnett GA

Leak Detection and Repair in Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County

A water bill that jumps, a meter that keeps turning with everything shut off or a warm spot on the floor usually means a hidden leak. 1st Place Plumbing locates leaks under slabs, in yards and inside walls and ceilings throughout Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta. We find the leak before we open anything, mark it, and give you a written price to repair it. Call or text (770) 800-7563 to schedule service.

What we can help with

Slab leaks: We pinpoint leaking water lines under a concrete floor and repair or reroute the line.
Underground water line leaks: We locate leaks between the meter and the house and repair or replace the line.
Leaks inside walls and ceilings: We trace the water back to its source and open only what the repair needs.
Supply lines, valves and fittings: We replace the worn parts behind most slow drips under sinks and toilets.
Tub and shower leaks: We test the drain and the valve to find out which one is letting water out.
Repair, reroute or replacement: We explain which option fits your house and what each one involves.

What to expect

We start at the meter, isolate the house, and use pressure tests and listening equipment to pinpoint where the water is going. Nothing gets opened until we know where the leak is, and the spot is marked before any work starts. What we found and where it is goes on the estimate.

A slab or underground leak generally has two good fixes: repair the section that's leaking, or reroute the line so it no longer runs where it failed. We explain what each option means for your house and how long it takes, then price both. Once the repair is finished, we test the line and check the meter with you before we pack up.

Frequently asked questions about leak detection & repair

Will you have to tear up my floor?

Not to find the leak. We locate it first, and if the repair means opening the slab, we open the smallest area that gets the job done. You see the spot marked before we start.

How do I know if the leak is inside or outside?

Shut the main valve inside the house and watch the meter. If it keeps moving, the leak is between the meter and the house. If it stops, the leak is inside.

Will the county adjust my water bill?

Often, yes. Many water departments credit the sewer portion of a bill once a leak has been repaired and documented. We give you the paperwork you'll need to ask.
