What Our Slab Leak Detection Includes

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.

Full System Pressure Test

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.

Electronic Leak Locating

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.

Written Detection Report

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.

Repair Quote Before Cutting

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 Explained


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.

Tools and Methods We Use

Tools & Equipment

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.

Methods & Standards

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.

When Newnan Homeowners Call Us

01

You get a water bill that is $100 higher than last month with no change in usage.

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

Your floors feel warm in one spot, and you have a tankless water heater.

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

You hear water running under the floor at night when the house is quiet.

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

You are buying a home in SummerGrove and the inspection report flags a possible slab leak.

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.

How Slab Leak Detection Runs in Newnan

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.

Neighborhoods We Serve

  • 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.

Local Conditions We Plan For

  • 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.

SummerGrove Water Bill Spike Fixed

Before

A homeowner in SummerGrove noticed her water bill jumped $80 in one month. She called us after hearing water running under the hallway floor at night. We isolated the lines, pressurized to 80 PSI, and confirmed a hot-water slab leak under the hall.

After

We cut one 12-inch access hole, repaired the copper line with a SharkBite fitting, and pressure-tested to 80 PSI for 30 minutes. The repair held. Her next water bill dropped back to normal, and the running-water sound stopped that same day.

Maintenance: We recommended checking the water meter monthly with all fixtures off. If the meter spins, call us before the leak causes foundation damage. A $250 detection now saves a $15,000 foundation repair later.

Before

A 1980s home near Downtown Newnan had warm spots on the kitchen floor and a water heater that ran constantly. The homeowner suspected a slab leak but did not want to tear up the tile. We used thermal imaging and acoustic gear to mark the leak within 6 inches.

After

We cut a small access hole in the kitchen floor, repaired the pinhole leak in the copper line, and pressure-tested the system. The warm spot disappeared, the water heater stopped running constantly, and the homeowner saved about $40 a month on gas.

Maintenance: We suggested flushing the water heater annually and checking for new warm spots every few months. Early detection keeps small leaks from becoming big repairs.

Before

A homeowner in Newnan called at 10 p.m. after hearing water running under the floor and seeing the water meter spin with everything off. We dispatched an after-hours crew with the same detection gear and repair parts as the day shift.

After

We located the leak under the living room in about 90 minutes, cut a small access hole, and repaired the failed joint. By 1 a.m., the meter was stable and the running-water sound was gone. The homeowner did not have to wait until morning.

Maintenance: We recommended a full pressure test of the remaining under-slab lines to check for secondary leaks. The homeowner scheduled a follow-up evaluation and avoided a second emergency call.

Slab Leak Problems We Solve in Newnan

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

Water meter spinning with all fixtures off

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

Warm spots on the floor near the water heater

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

Sound of running water when nothing is on

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

Unexplained spike in your water bill

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.

Why Newnan Homeowners Call Us First

Why Newnan Homeowners Call Us First

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.

Slab Leak Detection Pricing in Newnan

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

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.
