The working photo on this page is an illustrative working photo, not a photo of a specific job at a specific address. The diagrams are schematics, not to scale, made to explain the signs, process, options, or costs on this page in plain words. Call us at (770) 520-8128 if you are unsure what you are seeing.
Do you have this problem? Call us now
If you have this problem now, call us at (770) 520-8128 first. This page explains spot repair vs reroute vs repipe: which is right?, but a call gets you detection, a fix, and a written price after inspection. Do not wait for the leak to get worse while you read.
Spot fits one pinhole in healthy pipe. Reroute fits a deep or repeat-leak line. Repipe fits systemic corrosion or repeat leaks — it ends the cycle of one repair per leak.
The points this guide covers are: best for, cost, disruption, time, lifespan, when each fails, second-leak rule. Each point matters because it changes what you should do next, whether you should call now, or whether a simple check will rule something out first.

What to do next: call us and fix it
If you are reading this because something is wrong in your home, the next step is simple: call us. This guide explains what to look for, but only a detection visit can confirm it and fix it.
If you remember one rule from this guide, remember this: confirm before you cut, and pinpoint before you repair. A guess that opens the wrong floor costs time and money, and it does not fix the leak.

Check this now, then call us
Use this list to check now, then call us. A guide cannot see your home, your pipes, or your meter. Only a detection visit can confirm it, and that is the step that actually fixes the problem.
- Check for two or more signs together, not one alone
- Rule out simple causes first, like a running toilet
- Do a meter test where it fits, and note hot versus cold
- Call for detection if signs persist or water damage is growing

Call Us: (770) 520-8128How this helps you in Lawrenceville, GA: call us and fix it
In Lawrenceville, red Georgia clay, copper pipe from 1960 to 1990, galvanized pipe near downtown, and polybutylene in Collins Hill and Hurricane Shoals subdivisions all shape what kind of leak is most likely. Lawrenceville Utilities runs the city's water, so your meter and bill come from the city, and a street-main issue is the city's job.
That is why we explain it in plain words, so you can decide with confidence.

When to call us now
If the signs are growing, if water is pooling, or if flooring is lifting, shut off your main water first, then call us. If the signs are slow and single, a meter test is a good next step, and a detection visit is the next step after that.
Do not ignore a leak for weeks. Water under a slab can wash out soil, warp flooring, and create the right conditions for mold. Early detection is cheaper and less disruptive than a late repair.

Do not wait, and do not guess
The most common mistakes are: assuming one sign proves a slab leak, cutting a floor without pinpointing first, choosing a repair based on price alone without knowing the pipe condition, and waiting until flooring is ruined.
Another mistake is treating a sewer leak like a supply leak, or a cold-water leak like a hot-water leak. The signs, the test, and the fix are different, and detection is what tells them apart.

More on repair options
These pages cover the same topic, so you can compare options without guessing.
What to tell us when you call
Read the guide, then call with what you found. Tell us:
- The signs you see: bill jump, warm floor, running-water sound, low pressure, or damp flooring
- Whether the floor is warm in one spot, and whether water is pooling or flooring is lifting
- Your meter-test result, if you ran one, and your ZIP and street in Lawrenceville
Detection comes first, before any floor is opened. Start with slab leak detection, then the repair that fits, at a written price after inspection. Call (770) 520-8128.
Decision trigger: which fix fits?
| Fix | Best for | Decision trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Spot repair | One leak, otherwise healthy pipe | First leak, pipe otherwise sound |
| Trenchless lining | Several small leaks in one run, pipe still sound | Multiple small leaks, no reroute needed |
| Pipe rerouting | Bad under-slab line, or a second leak is likely | Repeat leak risk on the same line |
| Whole-home repipe | Repeat leaks, or worn-out pipe throughout | Leaks keep coming back, or pipe is worn out |
Detection decides which trigger applies to your home. Planning ranges: spot $500 to $4,000, lining $800 to $3,000, reroute $1,500 to $5,500, repipe $4,500 to $15,000+. Written price after inspection.
Frequently asked questions
Is spot repair or reroute better?
Spot repair fits one leak in healthy pipe. Reroute fits a deep, corroded, or repeat-leak line, because it bypasses the slab line for good. A detection visit shows which one fits your home, and the pro explains both options before work starts.
When is repipe the right call?
A whole-home repipe replaces all supply lines overhead, usually in PEX or copper, when leaks repeat or the system is at the end of its life. It ends the cycle of one repair per leak, and it is priced after a full inspection of fixtures and access.
Will my floor be cut?
The first step is detection in Lawrenceville, GA. It pinpoints the leak before any floor is opened, then the the technician explains the fix that fits your home, in plain words, with a written price after inspection. Call us at (770) 520-8128 if you are unsure.
What to do next in Lawrenceville
- Check the urgent signs. Water pooling, flooring lifting, or water you cannot stop? Shut off the main if safe, then call.
- Do the meter check if it is safe to do so. A moving meter with all taps off means water loss — it does not pinpoint where the leak is.
- Call (770) 520-8128. Tell us the signs from this guide. Detection first, then a written price after inspection — no floor opened on a guess.
