Your water bill arrives and it’s nearly double what you paid last month. There are no puddles, no dripping faucets, and nothing obviously wrong. But somewhere inside your walls, beneath your slab, or underground in your yard, water may be escaping and causing damage you can’t see.

Built on integrity, driven by family values, DrainGo Plumbing & Septic Services of Alabama has spent more than 15 years helping Alabama homeowners locate hidden plumbing leaks before they lead to costly repairs, mold growth, or structural damage. Using professional leak detection equipment and proven diagnostic methods, we identify the source of the problem without unnecessary demolition or guesswork.

If you suspect a leak, don’t wait for visible damage to appear. Contact our team today to schedule professional leak detection and get clear answers about what’s happening inside your plumbing system.

How We Find Plumbing Leaks

Not all plumbing leaks are the same. A loose connection beneath a sink requires a different approach than a pressurized water line leaking beneath a concrete slab. That’s why our leak detection process is designed to identify the exact source before any repair work begins.

We start by evaluating your plumbing system and performing pressure testing when appropriate. This helps confirm whether a leak is present and provides valuable information about its severity. From there, our technicians use specialized equipment, including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging technology, and moisture detection tools, to trace the leak to its source.

This approach allows us to locate leaks with accuracy while minimizing disruption to your home. Instead of opening walls or excavating large sections of your property to search for the problem, we identify the affected area first and recommend the most effective repair solution.

What We Inspect

Our leak detection services cover the full range of residential plumbing systems, including:

During our inspection, we pay special attention to aging plumbing materials and common failure points that may not be visible during a routine visual check.

Early detection can significantly reduce repair costs and help prevent damage to flooring, drywall, cabinetry, and structural components. If we locate a damaged or burst pipe, our team can discuss repair options immediately so you can move forward without unnecessary delays.

We also provide leak detection services for commercial properties throughout the Birmingham area.

Draingo is the way to go!!!! We used Draingo last year in March 2025 after AHS sent their #1 company K&S Plumbing (who always refuses to work with the client) to fix the repairs that AHS stated that we weren't covered for. Long story short. Draingo came and determined that we were covered, repaired it and we were good.
However, recently the PRV they replaced went bad again this year. Come to find out the city of Calera_AL has too much pressure coming into the subdivision. My home is receiving 140 psi!!! Way too much. Logan from Draingo is the best! He came out and and told us exactly what we needed. He put the dual PRV on set our tank temperature and no leaks as of yet. This took place on 7/24/26. Thank you Logan and thank you Draingo!!!

Even though we were David's last stop of the day and he had to drive all the way from Mccalla to Chelsea at 5:30pm, he was smiling and engaging and got right into our issue, and he stayed until the issue was resolved and everything was cleaned up and put back as it was. David was a pleasure to work with, and he has probably now spoiled me on plumbers.
