Why Professional Leak Detection Services in Knoxville Matter
Leaks in your plumbing are a costly problem. First, you lose money through wasted water. Second, you lose money through damage to your home and yard. If the leak is in your home’s plumbing, water damage and mold can spread under floors and behind walls, creating serious issues for you. If the leak happens in your yard, it could damage your landscaping or create a sinkhole risk.
All of these are problems that cost money to fix and can be avoided with our trusted leak detection and repair services here in Knoxville. If you’re noticing an increase in your utility bills without an increase in usage, then you should call for leak detection services to rule out a plumbing leak.
Give us a call if you notice any of these signs you may have a plumbing leak:

- Increased water usage
- Peeling, blistering paint or wallpaper

In almost all cases pertaining to city water, issues on the client’s side of the water meter are the responsibility of the property owner and the meter is the responsibility of the city or municipality. If you have a high water bill from a leak in your water service line, that means the water had to flow through the water meter to get recorded and therefore the leak is on your side and is the responsibility of the property owner.
Here are the top signs of a slab leak in a home with a concrete slab foundation:
- You receive consecutive, high water bills
- Foundation Cracking
- Your pets have found “Hot Spots” on the concrete floor
- Distant sound of running water (Especially with copper piping)
- Musty or Moldy Smell
Most residential homes have either a crawlspace, or concrete slab foundation. In a concrete slab foundation, the waterlines to each of the plumbing fixtures are run beneath the concrete since there is no crawlspace for the waterlines to reside. Over time, all waterlines will begin to deteriorate and when one of those underground waterlines develops a leak, it can present some unique challenges. Most people realize they have a slab leak because of a high water bill or, in some cases, visible signs of moisture pushing up through their slab. Often, there are no visible signs of water in the home and the leak just keeps getting worse and worse, wasting thousands of gallons of water. Slab leaks are either caused by poor installation practices or by natural deterioration of the waterlines. Poor installation like sloppy backfilling can create leaks from the waterlines vibrating against rocks in the dirt or because of failing to sleeve the waterlines under the slab.
Most plumbing companies do NOT perform real leak detection services with specialized electronic leak detection equipment. Their best technique usually involves randomly poking around in the yard with a probe to see if water comes up. However, most plumbing companies still advertise that they do leak detection because they want to get onsite and sell you a new waterline. At Tennessee Standard Plumbing, we have invested tens of thousands of dollars in specialized leak detection equipment and we hand select our best plumbing techs for our leak detection training program. This allows us to actually pinpoint leaks and give you ALL your options so you can confidently invest in your home. If you are in need of real leak detection services, ask, “Does your company specialize in and have electronic leak detection equipment so that you can pinpoint the location of the leak on my property?” That question should help expose the companies that do not perform real leak detection and help you find the best companies that do.
