If you suspect a leak but can’t see where it’s coming from, leak detection is the safest place to start. Wagner Plumbing helps homeowners and businesses in Fairhope and nearby Baldwin County communities identify the source of hidden water leaks—so you can stop damage, avoid mold risk, and prevent wasted water.
What Our Leak Detection Service Includes
Every property is different, so our approach is targeted and practical. Depending on your symptoms and access, leak detection may include:
- Review of symptoms (where/when you notice moisture, sounds, pressure changes, or water use)
- Checking visible fixtures and valves (toilets, faucets, hose bibbs, supply stops)
- System checks and targeted testing (such as controlled isolation and verification)
- Moisture confirmation around affected areas to help narrow the source
- Clear explanation of likely leak location and recommended next steps
Common Leak Problems We Help Solve
Hidden leaks often start small and quietly. We commonly investigate issues such as:
- Slab leak symptoms (persistent moisture, warm spots, or constant water usage)
- Pinhole leaks in supply lines
- Toilet leaks (flapper/fill valve issues that run intermittently)
- Leaks under sinks, behind cabinets, or around shutoff valves
- Water heater connections and nearby piping
- Yard/supply line leaks that create soft spots or pooling
When Leak Detection Is Urgent
Call right away if you have active flooding, water near electrical outlets, or a sudden, unexplained drop in water pressure. If the issue is slower (like a gradually rising water bill or a musty smell), it’s still worth addressing soon—small leaks can turn into big repairs.
What to Expect
Most leak detection appointments take about 60–120 minutes depending on the size of the property and whether the leak is intermittent. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing, what it likely means, and the best repair options. If you already know it’s a water leak issue, you may also want to review our related services like Water Leaks or Water Line Repair.
