Schedule ServiceHidden leaks are one of the most expensive plumbing problems a Athens homeowner can face. A slow slab leak, a dripping supply line inside a wall, or a broken service line under the yard can cost thousands in water bills and structural damage before anyone notices.
After Hours Plumbing uses professional leak-detection equipment — acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing — to find leaks in Athens, GA without tearing your home apart.
We locate leaks in the copper or Pex lines running under your slab in Athens using acoustic and pressure-testing techniques, then discuss repair options — spot repair, reroute, or repipe.
Water stains, bubbling paint, and mysterious drips are almost never where the leak actually is. We trace the source before we cut a single hole.
A leak between the meter and your Athens home shows up as a huge water bill and a meter that runs when nothing is on. We locate the leak and repair or replace the affected section of service line.
When multiple issues are suspected, we isolate the system with pressure gauges to identify exactly which fixture, branch, or line is losing water.
Home to more than 125,000 residents and the University of Georgia, Athens is a vibrant college city with a mix of historic homes, student rentals, and growing residential neighborhoods.
