Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Athens and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
A leak you can see is the easy one. The expensive leaks in Athens are under the slab, inside a wall or buried in the yard, quietly running up the bill and soaking the structure.
Most leak detection calls in Athens arrive later than they should have. There is a sign first — a sound, a smell, a bill that crept up, a stain that was not there last month — and the repair stays small for exactly as long as it takes somebody to act on it.
So a Athens visit starts with finding out what is actually happening before anything is opened up or torn out. You get the diagnosis, a price for the leak detection work, and a plain answer about whether it needs doing now or can reasonably wait.
The order we work in, and why.
The first conversation is about how urgent it really is. Some things need a truck tonight and some can wait until Tuesday, and you get told which yours is.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
You get a number for the repair before a wrench moves, and it holds. No hourly meter running while you stand in the doorway watching.
Drop cloths go down first and the area gets left clean. Old tanks, fixtures and cut-out pipe leave with the truck.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Athens before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the leak detection job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Athens work is done.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."
