Every slab leak detection job includes the full electronic locate, pressure isolation, and a written report with the repair location. Repair work is quoted separately after we find the leak. You approve the repair price before we cut concrete. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons.
We isolate your domestic water lines from irrigation and pool systems, then pressurize to 80 PSI. A dropping gauge confirms an under-slab leak. This step takes about 20 minutes and tells us whether we are chasing a slab leak or a simpler fixture problem.
We walk your floors with acoustic listening discs and a thermal imaging camera. The leak hisses at a frequency our gear picks up through concrete, tile, and hardwood. We mark the hot spot with tape and confirm it with a pipe locator before we cut anything.
You get a one-page report showing the leak location, pipe material, line pressure before and after isolation, and our recommended repair. This report is useful for insurance claims and for getting competing repair quotes if you want them.
Once we mark the leak, we quote the repair based on access depth and pipe material. You approve the price before we cut concrete. If you decide not to repair today, you still get the detection report and the mark stays on your floor for 48 hours.
Slab Leak Detection Newnan GA is a diagnostic service that uses acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to find water escaping from copper or PEX pipe buried under your concrete foundation. We pressurize the system, listen for the leak signature, and mark the exact spot on the floor. No guesswork, no exploratory jackhammering. Once located, we drill a small access point, repair the pipe with SharkBite fittings or a soldered copper coupling, and pressure-test the line before we close it up.
Newnan homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s often have copper under-slab lines that have reached the end of their service life. Add Georgia red clay that shifts with every wet winter and dry summer, and you get abrasion, pinhole corrosion, and joint failures. We see it constantly in SummerGrove and Downtown Newnan, where mature landscaping and irrigation systems keep soil moisture swinging. If you need to know how to find a slab leak under Newnan home, our electronic slab leak detection Newnan GA process answers that in about two hours.
Every job follows the same five steps. You will know what is happening, what it costs, and when we will be done. No surprises, no vague timelines.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.

Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Acoustic Listening Discs
We place these on the floor to pick up the hissing frequency of pressurized water escaping a pipe. They work through tile, hardwood, and carpet, so we can locate the leak without any demolition.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Hot-water slab leaks create warm spots on the floor. Our thermal camera reads those temperature differences and helps us trace the hot line from the water heater to the break point.
Pipe Locator
Once we have a suspected leak area, the pipe locator confirms the exact path of the under-slab line. This keeps our access hole small and prevents us from cutting into the wrong spot.
SharkBite Fittings
For copper repairs, SharkBite push-to-connect fittings let us make a secure joint without soldering. They are code-approved for under-slab repairs and hold up to the same pressure as a soldered coupling.
PEX Crimping Tool
If your home has PEX under the slab, we use a crimping tool to make a permanent, code-compliant connection. PEX repairs are faster than copper and just as reliable when done with the right tool.
Pressure Test Gauge
We pressurize the repaired line to 80 PSI and hold it for 30 minutes. If the gauge holds, the repair is good. If it drops, we find the second leak before we close the hole.
Pressure Isolation Testing
We shut off the main and isolate the domestic water system from irrigation and pool lines. Then we pressurize the under-slab lines to 80 PSI and watch the gauge. A dropping gauge confirms an under-slab leak. This method eliminates guesswork and tells us exactly which system is leaking.
Acoustic Leak Location
We walk the floor with listening discs and a thermal camera, following the leak signature to its source. The leak hisses at a frequency our gear picks up through concrete. We mark the hot spot within a 6-inch target zone and confirm it with a pipe locator before cutting.
Minimal-Access Repair
Once we mark the leak, we cut a 12-inch by 12-inch access hole in the slab, dig down to the pipe, and repair the break. Copper gets a soldered coupling or SharkBite fitting. PEX gets a crimp coupling. The whole repair takes two to four hours depending on depth and material.
Post-Repair Pressure Test
We repressurize the line to 80 PSI and hold it for 30 minutes. If the gauge holds, we backfill with sand, cap the hole with hydraulic cement, and clean up. You get a written report with the repair location and a 12-month workmanship warranty.
01
What we do: We start with a meter test and pressure isolation to confirm an under-slab leak. Then we use electronic slab leak detection Newnan GA equipment to mark the break point. Most detection jobs take about two hours from arrival to mark.
→ You know exactly where the leak is, what it will cost to repair, and you have a written report for your records or insurance claim.
02
What we do: Warm floors plus a tankless unit usually means a hot-water slab leak. We trace the hot line with thermal imaging and acoustic gear, then repair the failed section with copper or PEX. We pressure-test the line before closing the access hole.
→ Your floors return to normal temperature, your energy bill drops, and the repair is warrantied for 12 months.
03
What we do: That sound is pressurized water escaping a pinhole or joint. We use acoustic listening discs to pinpoint the source through concrete, mark the spot, and repair the pipe the same day. We also check for secondary water damage near baseboards and carpet.
→ The running-water sound stops, your meter stabilizes, and you avoid foundation damage from prolonged soil saturation.
04
What we do: We perform a full slab leak detection and location in Newnan GA evaluation, including pressure isolation and electronic locating. You get a written report with the leak location and a repair quote you can use in negotiations.
→ You know exactly what you are buying, and you have a repair number to bring to the closing table.
Newnan sits on Georgia red clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That cycle puts constant stress on under-slab copper and PEX lines. Homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s are the most common call for us, especially in SummerGrove and Downtown Newnan where mature trees and irrigation systems keep soil moisture swinging. We also see a spike in slab leak calls after hard freezes, when frozen pipes thaw and split at weak joints. Coweta County code requires pressure testing and inspection documentation for under-slab repairs, and we handle that paperwork for you. If you need affordable slab leak detection Newnan GA without the runaround, we give you a two-hour window, a marked leak location, and a repair quote before we cut concrete. We know how to find a slab leak under Newnan home construction because we have done it in every neighborhood and every pipe material this city has.
Downtown Newnan
Older homes with original copper under-slab lines are common here. The soil around downtown shifts more because of mature trees and older drainage patterns, so we see more pinhole leaks and joint failures.
SummerGrove
Homes built from the late 1990s through the 2000s often have copper lines that are now reaching the end of their service life. Irrigation systems keep the soil wet, which accelerates corrosion at pipe joints.
White Oak
Larger lots with longer under-slab runs mean more pipe and more potential leak points. We use pipe locators to map the full line before we mark the repair spot.
Ashley Park
Homes here are a mix of copper and PEX. We carry repair parts for both materials on every truck, so we can fix the leak the same day without a parts run.
Georgia red clay soil expansion and contraction
Wet winters and dry summers cause the soil under your slab to move. That movement abrades copper pipe and stresses joints, leading to pinhole leaks and joint failures. We see more slab leaks after a wet spring or a dry summer.
Hard freezes in Coweta County
When temperatures drop below freezing, water in under-slab lines can freeze and expand. The pipe may not split until it thaws, which is why we get a spike in slab leak calls the day after a hard freeze.
Aging copper pipe in 1970s-2000s homes
Copper has a service life of about 50 years, but aggressive water chemistry and soil movement can shorten that. Homes in this age range are prime candidates for slab leak detection and repair.
A slab leak is never just a plumbing problem. It is a water bill problem, a foundation problem, and a mold problem waiting to happen. Here are the specific issues we fix for Newnan homeowners every week.
Problem
You are paying for water you never use, and the leak is actively eroding soil under your foundation. Every day you wait, the repair gets more expensive.
Our Fix
We isolate the under-slab lines and pressurize them to confirm the leak. Then we use electronic locating gear to mark the exact break point. Most repairs are completed the same day, and your meter stops spinning immediately after.
Problem
A hot-water slab leak means your water heater is heating the ground under your house. That is wasted gas or electricity every hour, plus a saturated slab that can crack tile and drywall.
Our Fix
We trace the hot-water line from the water heater with thermal imaging and acoustic gear. Once located, we repair the failed section with copper or PEX and pressure-test the line. Your floors cool down and your energy bill drops back to normal.
Problem
That hissing or rushing sound is pressurized water escaping a pinhole or joint failure. Left alone, it can wash out the soil under your slab and cause settlement cracks throughout the house.
Our Fix
We use acoustic listening discs to pinpoint the sound source through concrete. After marking the spot, we cut a small access hole, repair the pipe, and pressure-test the line. The running-water sound stops as soon as the repair is complete.
Problem
A pinhole slab leak can waste 10,000 gallons a month. That is real money out of your pocket, and it often means the leak has been running for weeks before you noticed.
Our Fix
We compare your meter reading with all fixtures off to confirm a leak. Then we isolate the under-slab lines and locate the break with electronic gear. After repair, we show you the before-and-after meter reading so you can see the difference.
A slab leak never fixes itself. It soaks your subfloor, feeds mold, and inflates your water bill every single day. Here is what you get when you call us instead of a general handyman.
Pinpoint Accuracy, Less Concrete
We mark the leak within a 6-inch target zone before any concrete comes up. That means one small access hole instead of a 4-foot trench across your living room. Our electronic slab leak detection Newnan GA gear reads acoustic signatures through tile, hardwood, and carpet, so we find the break without tearing up the whole floor.
Same-Day Detection and Repair
Most slab leak detection and location in Newnan GA jobs are diagnosed and repaired the same day. We carry copper couplings, PEX crimping tools, and press fittings on every truck. If the line is repairable, you go to bed with dry floors and a stable water meter. No waiting three days for a parts run.
Stop the Water Bill Bleed
A pinhole slab leak can waste 10,000 gallons a month. That is real money out of your pocket and real stress on your foundation. Once we isolate and repair the line, your meter stops spinning and your next bill drops back to normal. We show you the before-and-after meter reading so you can see the difference.
Protect Your Foundation
Water under a slab softens the soil, causes settlement, and cracks drywall and tile. Fixing the leak early prevents a $15,000 foundation repair. We also check for secondary damage, like saturated baseboards or musty carpet, and tell you exactly what needs drying before mold sets in.
Typical 2026 pricing for slab leak detection in Newnan GA runs $250 to $450 for the full electronic locate and pressure isolation. If we cannot find the leak, you pay nothing. Repair costs are separate and depend on access depth, pipe material, and whether the leak is under tile, hardwood, or carpet. We quote the repair before we cut concrete, so you know the total before we start. No hourly billing, no mystery line items. We also offer a 12-month workmanship warranty on every repair.
Typical Investment Range
$250 - $450 for detection; $800 - $2,500 for repair depending on scope
A slab leak wastes water every hour and damages your foundation every day. Fixing it now costs a fraction of a foundation repair or a full repipe. We give you a flat detection fee, a repair quote before we cut, and a 12-month warranty on the work.
What changes the price
Access depth
How deep the pipe sits under the slab affects how long it takes to dig down and repair. Most Newnan homes have 12 to 18 inches of concrete and fill, but deeper lines add labor time and cost.
Pipe material
Copper repairs require soldering or SharkBite fittings. PEX repairs use crimp couplings. Both are straightforward, but copper takes longer because we have to protect the surrounding area from heat and solder drips.
Floor covering
Tile and hardwood take longer to cut and restore than carpet or vinyl. We can sometimes lift and reset tile, but if the tile is brittle or discontinued, we may need to replace a section. We tell you before we cut.
Number of leaks
Some homes have more than one leak point. We pressure-test the entire under-slab system after the first repair. If we find a second leak, we quote it separately and you decide whether to repair now or later.
After-hours or emergency call
We answer the phone 24/7 for active slab leaks. After-hours detection and repair carry a higher rate than our standard daytime window. We tell you the after-hours rate before we dispatch.

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
Once we locate the leak, we drill a precise access hole and repair the failed pipe section. We carry copper couplings, PEX crimping tools, and SharkBite fittings on every truck. Most under-slab repairs are completed in two to four hours, and we pressure-test the line before we close the hole.
View Under-Slab Pipe Repair & DrillingIf your under-slab copper has multiple failures or widespread corrosion, re-routing the line through the attic or walls is often cheaper than repeated slab repairs. We run new PEX pipe, tie it into your existing fixtures, and abandon the failing line in place. No more concrete cutting, ever.
View Piping Re-routing and ReplacementSlab leaks sometimes start at the main water line entry point. We isolate the main, locate the break with a pipe locator, and repair or replace the line from the meter to the house. We handle Backflow Prevention Certification testing and coordinate with Coweta County inspectors.
