Leak Detection, Knoxville TN
A water bill that jumped, or the sound of water running when everything’s off — and no clue where it’s coming from. We pinpoint the hidden leak, even one buried under a slab or driveway, so the work starts in exactly the right spot — no guessing.
We Find It Ourselves — and We Come Out Today
You can tell something’s wrong — the bill that jumped, a damp spot out in the yard that won’t dry, the sound of water running when everything’s shut off — but you can’t see the leak. You just want to know one thing: can someone come find it today?
Yes. When you call Bizzy B Plumbing, a real person picks up, gets your details, and gets you on the schedule — and in most cases we’re out the same day.
On the hard-to-find leaks — the ones hidden under a slab, a driveway, or underground — we find them ourselves. We invested in specialized equipment to locate them in-house, instead of calling in an outside company and adding another visit and another bill to your day. One team, one trip, and a clear answer about where the leak really is.
From there, we’ll show you exactly what we found, walk you through your options, and let you decide what happens next.
We Find the Exact Spot — Before Anything Gets Opened Up
When a leak is hidden under a slab, a driveway, or buried out in the yard, the scary part isn’t just the leak — it’s the picture in your head of what finding it might cost. The jackhammered floor. The dug-up yard. A crew opening up one spot after another, hoping to get lucky.
It doesn’t have to go that way.
We use specialized equipment that locates a hidden leak right through concrete, flooring, or several feet of ground — without opening anything up to find it. So when it’s time to make the repair, we go straight to the spot the leak is actually at, not three spots we hoped it might be. One small opening in the right place, instead of a torn-up room or yard.
Once we’ve pinpointed it, we’ll show you exactly where it is, explain what the repair takes in plain terms, and let you decide how you want to handle it. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with — and you won’t be paying anyone to go digging on a hunch.
From the Ceiling to Under the Slab, We Can Find It
A leak can show up just about anywhere in a home — some easy to trace, some hidden for months. Here’s what we can track down:
- A stain spreading across the ceiling. Water on a ceiling usually means a pipe, fixture, or bathroom leaking from the floor above. We trace it back to the actual source and we’re darn good at it too.
- A damp or warm spot on a wall. Leaks behind walls stay hidden until the paint, drywall, or baseboard starts to show it. We locate the line behind the wall so the opening we make is small and in the right place.
- Hissing noises coming from under the house. Crawl spaces and basements are where a lot of leaks quietly run for months. We get under there, find the source, and tell you exactly what’s going on.
- A leak under the floor or slab. This is the hard one — a line leaking under concrete with no evidence of water or the sound of running water coming from somewhere but you just can’t pinpoint it. Our specialized equipment locates it through the slab, so we’re not tearing up the floor to hunt for it.
- A buried main water line leak. A soggy patch in the yard that won’t dry, or water pressure that’s unusually low, can mean the line between your meter and the house is leaking underground. We pinpoint exactly where, so any digging happens right where it needs to — and we can repair or replace the line once it’s found.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT'S HIDING
One call, and you’ll finally know where that pesky little leak is — and what it’ll take to fix it.
Local Plumbers, and the Tools to Back Them Up
Bizzy B Plumbing has been veteran-owned and family-run since 2011. We live here, work here, and the homes we’re crawling under belong to our neighbors. That’s part of why we put the money into our own leak-finding equipment: so you don’t have to wait on someone else to come locate a leak in your home.
Our vans run through Knoxville and the neighborhoods all around it every day — Hardin Valley, Cedar Bluff, and Farragut out west, and down toward Maryville in Blount County. Wherever the leak is, there’s usually one of us close by. When you’re Bizzy, we’re here for you.
Common Questions About Finding Leaks
Can someone come out today?
In most cases, yes. A real person answers when you call, gets your details, and gets you on the schedule — so a hidden leak isn’t sitting there running up your bill while you wait days for a callback.
How do I know if I actually have a hidden leak?
The common signs are a water bill that jumped with nothing changed at home, a damp or warm spot on a floor or wall, the sound of running water when everything’s shut off, or a musty smell that won’t go away. Any one of those is worth having checked before it turns into something bigger.
Can you find the leak without tearing up my walls or floors?
That’s the whole point of what we do. We locate the leak first, with specialized equipment, so we know exactly where it is before anything gets opened up. When a repair is needed, it’s one small opening in the right spot — not a wall or floor torn apart looking for it.
Can you really find a leak under concrete or out in the yard?
Yes — those are exactly the hard-to-find leaks we’re set up for. Our equipment can locate a leak through a slab, under a driveway, or buried in the ground, without digging or breaking concrete just to go looking for it.
What happens once you find the leak?
We’ll show you exactly where it is, explain in plain terms what the repair involves, and give you an upfront estimate. You decide how you want to move forward — nothing gets done until you say so.
Do you fix the leak, or just find it?
Both. Finding it is the hard part, and once we have, we can take care of the repair too — whether that’s a line in a wall, under the floor, or a main line out in the yard. One team handles the whole thing.
What’s this going to cost me?
It depends on where the leak is and how hard it is to get to — which is why we locate it first instead of guessing at a number over the phone. Once we know what we’re dealing with, you get a clear estimate up front, and the choice is yours.
Is it worth finding a leak early, or can it wait?
The sooner it’s found, the less it can cost you. A hidden leak quietly runs up your bill and can work on your floors, walls, or foundation the longer it goes. Finding it early usually means a smaller repair and less damage to deal with — so it’s worth getting eyes on it sooner rather than later.
