Plumbing Leak Repair in Atlanta and Metro Atlanta

Some leaks hide for months. Most do not. They drip from a faucet, puddle under a sink, or run down a supply line in plain view, and what you need is someone to stop the water. A&G Plumbing and Drain handles plumbing and water leak repair for homeowners in Atlanta, Marietta, and across the metro. You show us the leak, we diagnose it, and you approve the price before the work begins.

Leaking Faucets and Fixtures

A faucet that keeps dripping after you shut it off has usually worn out a cartridge, washer, or seat. Bathroom sink faucets add a second suspect: the pop-up drain assembly, which loosens with use and lets water sneak past the stopper. We fix the part when the fixture is worth saving and quote a replacement when it is not. Our faucet and sink page covers that whole conversation, kitchens and bathrooms alike.

Toilets That Leak

Toilets leak in more ways than any other fixture in the house. Water pooling at the base points to a failed wax ring or loose bolts. A tank that hisses or refills on its own is losing water through the flapper or fill valve, quietly running up the bill. A damp supply line or a hairline tank crack can masquerade as either one. We sort out which leak you actually have and fix that one. Our toilet page covers repairs and replacements, and our post on why toilets run explains the tank side in plain English.

Leaks Under the Kitchen or Bathroom Sink

Open the cabinet and watch while the water runs. A drip that appears only when the sink drains points to the trap or the drain connections. A drip that never stops points to the supply lines or the shutoff valves, which corrode and weep as they age. If a garbage disposal lives under there, its seams and hose clamps join the suspect list, and our garbage disposal page covers those. Whichever it is, we tighten, reseal, or replace the failed part and check the rest of the cabinet before we call it done.

Visible Pipe Leaks and Copper Pinholes

When you can point at the pipe that is spraying, half the diagnosis is already done. Copper pipe leak repair is one of our most common calls in Atlanta: pinholes open in aging copper, fittings weep at the solder joint, and PEX connections occasionally let go at the crimp. We cut out the failed section, replace it, and pressure test the line before we leave. If this is the third pinhole this year, patch number four is probably not the answer, and our whole home repiping page lays out the longer-term fix as its own separately priced decision.

Supply Line and Water Line Leaks

The braided lines feeding toilets, faucets, and washing machines are small parts that cause outsized water damage, and they rarely warn you before they let go. If yours is bulging, rusting at the crimp, or already dripping, close the fixture valve and call us. Leaks on the buried line between the meter and the house are a different animal, and our main water line page explains how we handle those.

A Leaking Water Heater

Water around the base of a water heater deserves a look the day you spot it. The drip can be as small as a loose drain valve or a weeping relief valve, and both of those are repairs. Moisture seeping from the tank body itself means the tank is done, because tanks do not heal. Our gas and electric water heater page walks through both paths.

Not Sure Where the Water Is Coming From?

A ceiling stain can sit ten feet from the pipe that caused it, and some leaks never show themselves at all, just a water bill that keeps climbing. When the source is hiding behind drywall, under the slab, or somewhere out in the yard, the job changes from repair to detection. That is exactly what our leak detection page covers: find it first, then open only what the repair requires.

What Plumbing Leak Repair Costs

Two leaks that look identical from the outside can be very different jobs once the panel is off, so we do not quote from a photo or guess over the phone. We look, we hand you a price, and the repair starts after you approve it. If something unrelated turns up while we are in there, we point it out and price it separately, and you decide if and when to deal with it. Nothing changes the price without your approval.

Plumbing Leak FAQs

Should I turn off the water before you arrive?

If water is actively spreading, yes, when it is safe to do so. Most fixtures have a small shutoff valve underneath, and the main shutoff stops everything if you cannot tell which line is feeding the leak. Then call (770) 627-4421 during business hours and we will get a visit on the schedule.

Is a small drip really worth a service call?

A drip rarely stays the size you found it. Worn parts keep wearing, weeping valves eventually let go, and cabinets and subfloors soak up the damage in the meantime. Fixing a leak while it is small is almost always the cheaper version of the job.

Do you repair the leaking part or replace the whole fixture?

Whichever honestly makes sense. A quality faucet with a worn cartridge deserves a new cartridge. A corroded builder-grade fixture that will spring the next leak somewhere else deserves a straight answer about replacement. When both are real options, you get both prices and the choice stays yours.

What if the leak turns out to be hidden after all?

Then we say so before doing anything else. If we open a cabinet expecting a bad valve and find the drywall above it soaked, the visit becomes a conversation about leak detection, quoted separately, and nothing more happens until you approve it.
