Aaron Plumbing uses professional leak detection equipment to find hidden leaks in walls, slabs, and underground lines throughout Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, and surrounding areas — without unnecessary demolition. We find the leak first, then tell you what it takes to fix it.
Types of Leaks We Detect & Repair
🏗️
Slab Leaks
Leaks in pipes running beneath the concrete slab foundation. We use acoustic and pressure testing to pinpoint the location before any concrete is opened.
🔍
Hidden Pipe Leaks
Leaks inside walls or ceilings that aren’t immediately visible. We locate the source non-invasively so we only open what’s necessary to make the repair.
⚠️
Gas Line Leaks
Gas leaks are an emergency. If you smell gas, leave the house and call us immediately. We locate and repair gas line leaks and test the system before restoring service.
🌊
Underground Line Leaks
Leaks in underground water or sewer lines between the house and the street. We use pressure testing and ground microphones to locate these without excavating the entire line.
Slab Leaks in Roswell & Alpharetta Homes
Slab leaks are among the most serious — and most expensive — plumbing problems a homeowner can face. They occur when pipes running beneath the concrete foundation develop a leak, usually due to corrosion, shifting soil, or abrasion over time. Many older homes in established Roswell neighborhoods were built on slab foundations with copper supply lines running beneath them, making slab leaks a relatively common problem in this area.
Warning signs include warm spots on the floor, the sound of water running when all fixtures are off, unexplained increases in your water bill, cracks appearing in the floor or walls, or moisture and mold appearing at floor level. Left unaddressed, slab leaks can cause serious structural damage. We use acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact location of the leak before any concrete is touched, which minimizes the repair footprint significantly.
What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak
If you smell natural gas — which has a distinctive rotten egg odor added specifically so you can detect it — do not turn any switches on or off, do not use your phone inside the house, and do not attempt to locate the leak yourself. Leave the house immediately, leave the door open as you exit, and call your gas company’s emergency line or 911 from outside. Once the gas has been shut off and the area is safe, call us to locate and repair the leak and perform a full pressure test of your gas lines before service is restored.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
The most common signs are: warm spots on the floor (especially on tile or hardwood), the sound of running water when everything is turned off, water bill increases with no obvious explanation, or moisture and mildew smell near the floor. Call us if you notice any of these — slab leaks don’t get better on their own.
How do you find a leak without tearing everything apart?
We use a combination of pressure testing to confirm a leak exists and acoustic listening equipment to narrow down the location. For gas lines we use electronic gas detectors. This lets us identify the problem area precisely before opening anything.
Is a slab leak covered by homeowners insurance?
It depends on your policy. Many policies cover the water damage caused by a slab leak but not the plumbing repair itself. We recommend calling your insurance company to understand your coverage before work begins. We’re happy to document the leak location and damage for your claim.
