Reading the meter
The plumber starts at the meter with every fixture closed. A dial that still moves confirms the leak, and isolating one branch after another shows which run it is on.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Kannapolis
Leaks hide well. The first sign may be a bill higher than last month, a meter dial turning with every tap closed, a brown ring on a ceiling or a floor that feels warm underfoot.
We connect Kannapolis homeowners with a plumber who pins down where the water is going before cutting into anything.
Tracing a hidden leak
Inside walls and ceilings
Behind drywall, a moisture meter and a thermal camera mark the wet area from the outside, so the opening for the repair stays small.
Under a concrete slab
A supply line buried under a slab can leak unseen. Acoustic gear and pressure tests find the spot, and the fix is either a repair through the floor or a new line run another way.
In the yard
Out in the yard, a stripe of grass greener or softer than the rest, or a meter that keeps turning with the house valve closed, can mean the buried line from the meter is leaking.
The line between your meter and your house
The City of Kannapolis water and sewer tap application makes the customer responsible for the plumbing line from the building to the meter. A leak on that stretch of pipe falls on the owner’s side, and a plumber can trace and repair it.
When the leak is a symptom of tired pipe, repiping is the next read. Water dripping through a ceiling right now belongs on the emergency call page. Our home page has the other services.
