Water leaks can start small—but their impact is anything but. Whether it’s a slow drip behind the wall, a leaking slab or an underground pipe silently wasting thousands of gallons, the hidden cost of undetected water leaks goes far beyond a higher water bill.
At Roto-Rooter, we provide same-day water leak detection and repair services across Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington Counties. Our team is available 24/7 with the most advanced tools to find and fix leaks fast, saving you from expensive repairs and structural damage down the line.
How Much Do Water Leaks Really Cost?
Leaks from pipes, plumbing fixtures and fittings account for an estimated 2,000 to 20,000 gallons of water wasted per home per year. That’s not just bad for your utility bill, it’s bad for your home or business. The longer a leak goes unnoticed, the more it can damage flooring, walls, foundations and even your electrical system.
Roto-Rooter’s water leak service is designed to catch these problems early and provide solutions the same day, before minor leaks turn into major disasters.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Not all water leaks are obvious. Some go undetected for years, especially if they’re located behind walls, under slabs or in outdoor plumbing lines. Here’s what to watch for:
- Unexplained puddles or soggy ground
- Running water sounds when no water is being used
- A water meter that keeps spinning or counting up
- Cracks in flooring or foundation
- Higher-than-normal water bills
- Musty odors or visible mold
- Wet spots under carpets or floors
If you notice any of these, call our leak detection experts in Mobile, AL.

Common Sources of Hidden Leaks
Hidden leaks don’t always occur where you expect. These are some of the most common culprits we detect:
- Toilets – Silent leaks from flapper valves or tank gaskets
- Faucets and Fixtures – Worn washers or corroded connections
- Water Heaters – Leaking valves or rusted tanks
- Outdoor Hose Bibs – Often overlooked but can leak heavily
- Slab Plumbing – Aging or improperly installed pipes under your home’s foundation
- Pool Plumbing – Cracks or separations in underground pool lines
Our licensed plumbers are trained to handle everything from dripping faucets to complete pipe replacement.
Slab Leak Detection and Repair
Slab leaks are one of the most destructive forms of hidden leaks. They occur when a pipe underneath your home’s concrete foundation breaks or cracks. Warning signs include unexplained wet spots, moldy carpets and the sound of running water with everything turned off.
Roto-Rooter’s slab leak repair services include:
- Pipe re-routing
- Epoxy pipe relining (trenchless)
- Re-piping for permanent repair
We use modern leak detection equipment, including acoustic sensors and electromagnetic locators, to pinpoint the problem with minimal property damage.
Pool Leak Detection Services
If you’re adding more than 2 inches of water per week to your pool, you may have a leak. Our pool leak detection specialists can quickly identify and fix problems in underground pool lines or fittings, helping you save on water costs and chemical use.
