Commercial Leak Detection in Hattiesburg, MS

Protect Your Building, Tenants, & Budget

A hidden water leak in a commercial facility is more than a maintenance ticket; it is a threat to your bottom line. Whether it’s water encroaching on a tenant’s suite, a damp spot in a corridor, or a utility bill that suddenly spikes, the impact is immediate. In Hattiesburg, where commercial properties range from historic downtown buildings to modern medical complexes, identifying the source of water intrusion without disrupting operations requires precision. American Leak Detection of Jackson delivers specialized diagnostic and repair services designed to keep your business running while we resolve the problem.

The High Stakes of Commercial Water Intrusion

Commercial plumbing systems are vast and complex, often hiding behind fire walls, under extensive parking lots, or above suspended ceilings. Water escaping from a pressurized line can travel across multiple floors or suites, creating liability issues long before the source is found. In multi-unit buildings like hotels or apartments, a leak on one floor can displace tenants on three others. Ignoring these signs can lead to mold remediation, inventory loss, and disrupted leases.

  • Operational Indicators: Unexplained increases in water bills or constant make-up water for boilers.
  • Tenant Complaints: Reports of water noise, damp odors, or low pressure in specific zones.
  • Structural Signs: Discolored ceiling tiles, peeling vinyl baseboards, or soft spots in corridors.
  • Environmental Clues: Hot spots on slab floors, soggy landscaping, or unexplained puddles in mechanical rooms.

Low-Impact Diagnostic Strategy

We understand that you cannot simply shut down a building for investigation. Our inspection process is designed to be non-intrusive and compatible with active business environments. Before deploying equipment, we review your facility’s blueprints and maintenance logs to understand the system layout.

We then utilize advanced diagnostic technology to locate the failure without breaking ground. Acoustic listening devices allow us to hear leaks in pressurized lines through concrete and drywall. Pressure testing isolates specific zones (domestic water, fire suppression, or irrigation) to identify the failing section. This data-driven approach allows us to isolate the exact failing component, ensuring that any necessary access is targeted and minimal.

Turnkey Restoration: Diagnosis to Repair

We believe your problem isn't solved until the leak is stopped. While many companies strictly limit themselves to detection, American Leak Detection of Jackson is equipped to cross the finish line. Once we isolate the issue, our technicians can transition immediately into repair mode, fixing the plumbing break on the spot. This single-source capability eliminates the hassle of scheduling a second contractor. However, the choice remains yours: if you prefer to work with your own maintenance team, our forensic report provides them with the exact roadmap they need to get the job done.
