Smoke Testing For Leak Detection in Columbus, GA
Professional smoke test plumbing
At American Leak Detection of Western Georgia, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and secure plumbing system in your Columbus home. Leaks, whether large or small, can cause significant damage to your property and lead to expensive repairs. That's why we offer smoke testing for leak detection – a safe and efficient method for pinpointing hidden leaks before they wreak havoc.
How is smoke used for leak detection?
Smoke testing is a non-invasive technique used to identify leaks in your plumbing system. A certified plumber introduces a harmless, scented smoke into your pipes. This smoke escapes through any cracks, holes, or defects in the system, visually indicating the location of the leak.
Why Choose SMOKE TESTING FOR LEAKS?
Here are some key benefits of using smoke testing for leak detection:
- Accuracy: Smoke testing provides a highly accurate way to locate leaks, even those hidden behind walls or underground.
- Non-invasive: Unlike some leak detection methods, smoke testing doesn't require any digging or destruction of your property.
- Cost-effective: Early detection of leaks through smoke testing can save you money on extensive repairs caused by undetected leaks.
- Safe: The smoke used in testing is non-toxic and harmless to people, pets, and plants.
- Fast Results: Smoke testing allows for a quick and efficient leak detection process, minimizing disruption to your home.
Signs You Might Need Smoke Testing
If you're experiencing any of the following in your Columbus home, it might be a sign of a hidden leak:
- Unexplained Increase in Water Bills: A sudden rise in your water bill could indicate a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
- The Sound of Running Water When No Faucets Are On: If you hear the constant trickle or whoosh of water even when no taps are running, it suggests a leak.
- Cracks in Walls or Ceilings: Leaks can cause cracks to develop in walls and ceilings due to water damage.
- Mold Growth: Mold thrives in damp environments. Leaks can create moisture pockets that promote mold growth.
- Soft Spots on Floors: Water damage from leaks can weaken floorboards, creating soft spots underfoot.

“Ryan Jacobson found and fixed my pool liner leak, which as he described it, was the best-case scenario. The worst-case scenario would have been a leak in the pipes… That would have required busting up concrete to fix the leak. Luckily for me, he didn’t have to do that… Highly recommend American Leak Detection!”- Alfredo “JR” Gonzalez

“We had standing water on my front lawn for several months; we thought it was the irrigation system, so we called an irrigation specialist to check for leaks. He checked it and said the issue does not seem to be irrigation and suggested the local water works or a plumber service. We contacted a plumbing service, and they were unable to assist due to the size of my lawn - however, they recommended American Leak Detection. We contacted American Leak Detection (spoke with Ms. Annette) who dispatched a team out promptly, they performed their analysis and located the area of the leak. We got the plumber back out and the appropriate repairs were made to resolve our leak issues. We've dealt with service companies that promise to send someone out to address our issues, but they are either days and weeks later or they don't show up. American Leak Detection are true professionals from their request intake process through to job completion and after repair testing if needed. Their administrative staff and technicians have excellent interpersonal skills, and they show up when they say they will. I will refer them to family, friends and anyone else needing the services they provide.”- Ben J.

“Russell Speir is AWESOME. After introductions Russ had me explain what was going on. He was very interested in everything I had to say and discussed with me what the various symtoms of my leak indicated. He surveyed inside the house and the immediate area outside between the meter and the initial point of entry to the house. He shared with my wife and me the various steps and methods he would use. His equipment vehicle is in great shape and all of the equipment and tools inside the vehicle looked very clean, well maintained and in their place (a place for everything and everything in its place.) VERY professional. Russ was very patient and explained every procedure and step. Russ is extremely knowledgeable and willingly shares his expertise with you. I HIGHLY receommend American Leak Detection to everyone needing this service. Thank you Russell Speir. I greatly appreciate you and the service you provided. Best regards, M. Garcia”- M. Garcia
