Atlantis Plumbing - We Specialize In Leak Detection & Waterline Repairs

Many leaks go unnoticed for extended periods because they are hidden from view. However, even a small, persistent leak can lead to significant problems over time. Are you experiencing any of these problems?

• Unexplained spikes in your water bill: This is often the most telling sign of a hidden leak.
• Damp spots or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors: These can indicate a leak behind surfaces.
• The sound of running water when no fixtures are in use: This suggests water is flowing somewhere it shouldn't be.
• Musty odors: These can be a sign of mold or mildew growth caused by water damage.
• Foundation cracks: In severe cases, slab leaks can lead to structural damage.
• Reduced water pressure: This can sometimes be a symptom of a significant leak in your system.

Understanding Various Types of Plumbing Leaks

Leaks can manifest in various ways, each presenting its own set of challenges:

• Slab Leaks: These occur in the water lines embedded within your home's concrete slab foundation. They can be particularly damaging as they can undermine your foundation, cause significant water damage, and lead to mold growth. Detecting and repairing slab leaks requires specialized equipment and expertise.
• Leaks in the Yard: Leaks can occur in underground water lines that supply your home or irrigation system. Signs include unusually green or soggy patches in your lawn, depressions in the ground, or a constant running sound near your water meter. These leaks can waste an enormous amount of water and cause damage to your landscaping.
• Water Meter Leaks: A leak can occur at or near your water meter, which is typically located near the street. While often easier to spot, a persistent leak here can still lead to high water bills and potential damage to the surrounding area.
• Plumbing Leaks Behind Walls: These are perhaps the most common and often the most difficult to detect without professional help. Leaks from pipes within your walls can slowly rot framing, damage drywall, and create an ideal environment for mold and mildew, posing health risks and compromising your home's air quality.

Are You Having Problems with Polybutylene Pipes?

Many homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s in Cobb County were plumbed with Polybutylene pipes. This material was initially marketed as a cost-effective alternative to copper, but it has since been proven to be highly prone to failure. Polybutylene pipes are susceptible to deterioration from oxidants in the water supply, leading to embrittlement, cracking, and ultimately, catastrophic leaks.

At Atlantis Plumbing, we have vast experience in replacing Polybutylene piping systems. We understand the unique challenges associated with these outdated pipes and offer comprehensive re-piping solutions to safeguard your home against future plumbing failures. Replacing Polybutylene is an investment in your home's long-term health and your peace of mind.

Signs You Might Have a Leak

Beyond the general indicators mentioned earlier, be vigilant for these specific signs:

• Visible mold or mildew growth in unusual places.
• Peeling paint or wallpaper due to moisture.
• Stained or warped flooring.
• A sudden drop in water pressure throughout your home.
• An unexplained increase in humidity indoors.

Don't let a hidden leak compromise your home or your budget. If you suspect you have a leak, big or small, it's crucial to act quickly.
