Find the Leak Before It Floods

Leak detection and pipe repair services in Kennesaw, Georgia and surrounding areas

When you notice water stains spreading across your ceiling, warped flooring near the bathroom, or a spike in your water bill without explanation, there is likely a hidden leak somewhere in your Kennesaw or nighboring city home. Leaks inside walls, under slabs, or in crawlspaces often go undetected for weeks or months, causing structural damage, mold growth, and wasted water long before the problem becomes visible. You may also hear the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use or see your water meter spinning even when everything is turned off.

The Neighborly Plumber provides leak detection and pipe repair services throughout Kennesaw and surrounding communites using advanced detection methods to locate leaks quickly without unnecessary demolition. We use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and moisture meters to pinpoint the source, then perform lasting repairs using quality materials. We also install Moen Flo smart water sensors to help prevent major flooding by shutting off your water automatically when a leak is detected. Whether the leak is slow and hidden or actively causing damage, we find it and fix it before it gets worse.

If you suspect a leak in your Kennesaw or surrounding area home or want to prevent water damage with smart monitoring, contact us to schedule a detection and repair.

How We Locate and Repair Hidden Leaks

When you schedule service in Kennesaw, we start by inspecting the areas where you have noticed signs of moisture or damage. We use electronic listening equipment to detect the sound of water escaping from pressurized pipes, even if the leak is behind drywall or under concrete. Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences that reveal where water is pooling or traveling through hidden spaces. Once we locate the leak, we access the pipe with minimal cutting and perform a targeted repair or replacement of the damaged section.

After the repair is complete, water stains will stop spreading, your water bill will return to normal, and you will no longer hear phantom running water when the house is quiet. Floors and ceilings will begin to dry out, and the risk of mold growth or structural damage is eliminated.

We test the repair under full pressure to confirm the leak is fully sealed before closing the wall or floor. If the leak caused damage to surrounding materials, we let you know what needs to be addressed beyond the plumbing. For homeowners who want ongoing protection, we can install a Moen Flo system that monitors water flow continuously and shuts off the main valve if it detects a leak or unusual usage patterns.

What homeowners want to know before we start

These are the questions we hear most often from homeowners who are worried about hidden leaks and how much damage may already be done.

How do you find a leak that I cannot see?
We use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and moisture meters to detect leaks inside walls, ceilings, and under floors without tearing into your home blindly. These tools allow us to locate the exact source of the leak before we begin repairs.
What are the most common causes of hidden leaks?
Pinhole leaks in copper pipes, corroded joints, loose fittings, and cracked supply lines are the most common culprits. Leaks can also occur at the base of toilets, behind washing machines, or where pipes pass through walls and floors.
How much damage can a small leak cause?
Even a slow leak can cause serious damage over time. Water can rot wood framing, ruin drywall, promote mold growth, and weaken your home's structure if left unaddressed for weeks or months.
What is a Moen Flo smart water sensor?
It is a device installed on your main water line that monitors flow and pressure continuously. If it detects a leak or abnormal usage, it sends an alert to your phone and can automatically shut off your water supply to prevent flooding.
How long does it take to repair a leak?

Most leak repairs in Kennesaw and the surrounding areas take a few hours once the source is located. The timeline depends on the accessibility of the pipe and whether we need to open walls, ceilings, or floors to reach it.

If you are dealing with unexplained water damage, rising water bills, or the sound of running water when nothing is on in your Kennesaw home, The Neighborly Plumber can locate the leak and repair it before the damage spreads. We use reliable detection tools and quality materials to make sure the fix lasts. Reach out to schedule leak detection, pipe repair, or smart water monitoring installation.
