A spike in your water bill, a damp spot on the ceiling, or the sound of running water when nothing is on. These are signs of a hidden plumbing leak. Left alone, even a small leak can cause water damage, mold, and expensive repairs.
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta provides leak detection services for homeowners across Gwinnett County and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area to find the source and stop the damage before it spreads.
When to Call for Leak Detection
Some leaks are obvious — a dripping pipe under the sink or a puddle in the basement. But many hide behind walls, under slabs, or deep in your plumbing system where they cause damage for weeks before you notice anything.
Common warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, musty odors in rooms without visible moisture, discolored patches on walls or ceilings, warped flooring, or a water meter that keeps running after you’ve shut off every fixture in the house.
Calling for leak detection early can prevent thousands in water damage and structural repairs.

How We Find the Leak
Sean and the Stars and Pipes team use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to trace the sound and heat signature of escaping water to its exact source — whether it’s inside a wall, beneath your foundation, or buried in your yard.
These methods let us locate leaks without cutting into walls or tearing up flooring.
Once we’ve identified the leak, we walk you through what we found, where it is, and what it takes to fix it. You get a clear explanation and transparent pricing before any work begins.
As a veteran-owned business, we operate with integrity on every call — no upselling, no guesswork.
Serving Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta provides leak detection services throughout Gwinnett County, including Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Snellville, and Dacula.
We also serve homeowners in Fulton County communities like Johns Creek and Alpharetta, and DeKalb County areas including Tucker and Stone Mountain.
Many homes in these communities were built in the 1970s and ’80s with copper or galvanized piping that develops pinhole leaks and joint failure as it ages — exactly the kind of problem that professional leak detection is built to catch.
