Charlotte is a city of older tree lined neighborhoods and fast growing new builds, and the plumbing reflects both.
A water bill that creeps up in Charlotte is often a running toilet or a hidden supply line leak. In older in town homes, original shutoff valves and galvanized lines are common trouble spots. We confirm with the water meter first, then isolate zones with pressure tests before cutting into drywall.
Signs you need leak detection and repair in Charlotte
- A water bill higher than normal with no change in use
- A water meter that moves when everything is off
- Warm spots on a slab floor

How we handle it
