A water bill that jumps with no change in use often points to a hidden leak. Water leak detection is the work of tracing where that water goes. Stop The Drip handles leak detection and leak repair in homes across Nashville, La Vergne and Middle Tennessee. Leak repair is part of the in-home service work we do as a plumber in Nashville.
For a hidden leak, the visit starts at the water meter with every fixture turned off. Then we pressure test the lines and close valves to check one part of the house at a time. When the tests point to the leak, we show you what we found and put the repair price in writing. Call or text (615) 723-2488.

With every tap and appliance off, a water meter should sit still, so we check it first. The Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County gives customers the same test. Write down the reading, then read it again after two hours with no water use. If the reading changed, it says, you have a leak.
Next, we shut the main valve and pressure test the lines. If the pressure falls, water is escaping at a fixture or through a pipe. Closing the cold supply valve at the water heater splits the hot side from the cold side. That tells us which side to follow.
Drain leaks only show up when water runs. So we run one fixture at a time and watch the cabinet or ceiling below it. A stain that grows during one shower points to that shower's drain or valve.
The EPA counts worn toilet flappers and dripping faucets among the common leaks in a home. It says the average household's leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons a year. A worn flapper can leak thousands of gallons a year without a sound, the EPA says. That one is a job for running toilet repair.
Supply lines and shutoff valves under sinks can drip onto the cabinet floor. A leak at the water heater's fittings or valves is a job for water heater repair. A crawl space leak can go unseen until the floor feels soft or the house smells musty. Much of the ground here is slow-draining clay, so that water tends to sit.
Hard freezes and high water pressure both strain pipes. In the December 2022 cold snap, Nashville's highs stayed below freezing three days in a row. Metro Water Services encourages Nashville customers to have a pressure reducing valve on their side of the line, checked regularly. We check the house pressure on a leak call too.
Most leak repair comes down to replacing the part that failed. That can be a supply line, a shutoff valve, a fitting or a section of pipe. When the leak sits behind drywall, we open the wall where the tests point and repair the pipe. We also fix leaks left behind by earlier work that did not hold.
A slab leak is a leak in a water line under a concrete floor. A warm spot on the floor or the sound of water with every tap off can point to one. If every fixture checks out, our meter and pressure tests can tell us the leak is likely under the slab.
If the tests cannot narrow the spot enough to open the floor, we tell you before any concrete comes up. Once the leak is found, we repair the line and test the system again. You get the options and the price in writing before we begin.

Called the business and was able to get a same day appointment for my clogged kitchen drain and broken garbage disposal. They replaced the garbage disposal and did a hydro jetting. Throughout the process Freddie was very professional, friendly, and informative.He let me know all the steps of the process, gave options and his recommendations. At the end of the day, everything is fixed and he performed multiple tests to verify their work. Overall satisfied with this company .
