Stay Stress Free With Leak Detection

WyattWorks Charlotte

Leaking pipes and hidden plumbing issues are some of the most common problems homeowners can face. If left undetected, these issues can cause higher water bills, structural damage, and mold growth.

Beyond the damage to your home, leaks also have a significant environmental impact. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), household leaks waste nearly one trillion gallons of water each year in the United States alone. 1

For over four decades, homeowners have trusted WyattWorks for professional Charlotte leak detection services to protect their homes, lower utility costs, and help reduce unnecessary water waste.

Common Causes of Leaks

Leaks form from everyday issues like aging pipes, high water pressure, corrosion from mineral buildup, or shifting foundations that strain pipe connections. While these problems may start small, they can quickly escalate if left unaddressed.

Routine maintenance and preventative care protect your plumbing system by giving you a better understanding of how it’s functioning and which components may be wearing out. Identifying and fixing issues before they become major leaks will extend the life of your appliances, prevent costly repairs, and maintain a healthier home.

Here are the most common causes of leaks our technicians service:

Root Intrusion

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture wherever present. If there are small cracks or weak points in a pipe, roots can work their way inside and continue to grow. Over time, this can lead to blockages, pipe damage, and significant leaks. Root intrusion is especially common in older sewer systems and can cause serious damage.

Pipe Corrosion

Pipes corrode as they age, especially metal pipes, and mineral buildup can accelerate this process. As corrosion worsens, small holes form, allowing water to escape and creating hidden underground leaks that may go unnoticed until water appears in the home.

High Water Pressure

While strong water pressure may seem beneficial, excessive pressure can strain your entire plumbing system. This added stress can weaken appliances, break seals, damage joints, and cause small cracks to develop. 2 Left unchecked, high water pressure can significantly shorten the lifespan of your pipes and increase the risk of leaks.

Cracked Seals or Joints

Your plumbing system relies on seals, gaskets, and joints to keep water contained. These components can wear down over time from temperature fluctuations and pressure changes in your water flow. When seals crack or joints loosen, water can begin to leak at connection points, often in areas that are not immediately visible.

Extreme Weather Conditions

Cold weather can have a major impact on your plumbing system. When temperatures drop, the water inside pipes can freeze and expand. This pressure causes pipes to crack or burst. Once the ice thaws, water can escape rapidly, leading to severe leaks or even flooding inside your home.

Working With WyattWorks

Working with WyattWorks means you're partnering with a company that has over four decades of experience, a stellar reputation, and a dedicated team. You can expect high-quality service, advanced leak detection and repair, along with the option to install the trusted Moen Flo leak detection service.

How We Detect Leaks

Leaks can cause serious damage throughout your home, including warped walls, damaged flooring, weakened structural components, and mold.

Leaks commonly develop around areas of the home where water is used frequently or under constant pressure—sinks, toilets, showers, water heaters, appliance connections, and exposed or aging pipes. Leaks also occur underground and behind walls, making professional detection essential to pinpoint the exact source.

Our Methods:

  • Meter Testing: Meter testing is a simple but highly effective way to identify hidden leaks. By shutting off all water inside your home and monitoring the water meter, we can determine if water is still flowing, indicating a leak somewhere within your system.
  • Infrared Cameras: Our infrared cameras use thermal imaging to detect temperature differences behind walls, floors, or ceilings. These variations in temperature can pinpoint the presence of moisture or leaking water, allowing us to locate leaks without opening up the structure.
  • Digging and Drilling: For leaks located underground or beneath concrete slabs, controlled digging or drilling may be necessary to access the damaged pipe. Our technicians take a careful, targeted approach to repair the issue while minimizing impact to your property.

Leak Repair

Once we’ve located your leak, our team gets to work with a clear plan to resolve the issue quickly. Our customers receive transparency, quality workmanship, and respect throughout the entire process.

We perform a detailed assessment of the affected area and the surrounding plumbing system. Leaks can sometimes be a symptom of a larger issue, so we make sure nothing is overlooked. Depending on the size, location, and severity of the issue, you may have several repair options to choose from. We’ll explain the pros, cons, and long-term benefits of each so you can make a confident decision.

Here’s What You Can Expect:

  • Upfront Estimate: We believe in straightforward service. Before any work begins, you’ll receive a detailed, upfront estimate outlining the cost of your repair. No hidden fees, no unexpected charges.
  • Lasting Repairs: Once you approve the work, we get started right away. We use high-quality materials alongside impeccable industry standards to ensure every repair is done correctly. Our goal is not just to fix the immediate issue, but to strengthen your plumbing system.
  • Cleanup: We understand that plumbing repairs can feel invasive, especially when leaks are behind walls, under floors, or beneath concrete. Respecting your home is a top priority. Once the repair is complete, we thoroughly clean the work area.
  • After Service Support: If you have questions or concerns after service, our team is here to help. We take immense pride in our work standards, so if something isn’t right, we’ll make it right.

  • Kathy Mendola
    Technician Michael came out and checked out the kitchen faucet. He tightened it up and seemed to work better but after he left it started leaking again. He came right back out the next call and replaced the faucet. Everything works great now. Very happy with the service. Super friendly and received text update and confirmation timely.
  • Marie Rodgers
    Thanks so much for the great work and awesome customer service given to us by Joe, Sammie and Walker.
  • Priscilla Davis
    Joe and Sam came out and repaired a leak in the crawlspace that was occurring due to a blockage. They cleared the blockage and replaced some old cast iron pipe with pvc and cleaned up the bathtub which had backed up. Kudos! They also gave us information for crawlspace maintenance and set us up to have camera evaluation of our plumbing down to the street connection.
  • Doug
    Brenden came out this morning and was able to quickly locate the source of our issue. He worked with the team to turn around a quote and get folks scheduled in 2 days for a main sewer line repair. Drew, Ryan, and Elijah came out and cut away a chunk of my driveway too dig down and repair the line. They did a fantastic job getting it back to working shape. They even offered to pour concrete to fill the hole they cut away, which is a service they typically do not provide. They were polite, friendly, and fast. I will be using WyattWorks going forward because of everyone's professionalism and thoroughness.
  • Jim Kallam
    I had electrical work done, by Dawson. He was professional and personal. I highly recommend him
  • Christina Carlson
    Phillip Lardieri was a true professional and did amazing and quick work to get us a new water heater after ours went out impacting our kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. We are so appreciative to him as well as Sam who assisted and Hunter who did terrific work on a leak months ago. We will keep coming back to WyaytWorks for their quality, service and the most awesome plumbers in the industry. Thank you all!
  • Sarah Hamlin
    I learned about Wyattworks from a review in the new edition of “Best Picks Reports”. I contacted Wyattworks about a leaking exterior faucet. Additionally I wanted to replace a non-operable garbage disposal. My initial contact with the company office was handled with pleasant professionalism. An appointment was scheduled and the Technician, Michael, arrived on time. Michael took the time to sit with me to discuss the issues I identified but we also discussed other areas of concern that he brought to my attention after a cursory examination of all the plumbing fixtures in my home. Michael removed the old disposal and installed the new one that I chose after reviewing options. The repair of the exterior faucet was more complicated, involving cutting through interior drywall to access the problem area. But Michael expertly corrected the problem and left the work areas as clean as he found them. I highly recommend Wyattworks if you are in need of plumbing services. They are consummate professionals. I was not pressured into any of the choices offered regarding products or services. They are just nice, polite people to work with. I believe they treated my home as if it was their home. I will not hesitate to call on them in the future!
  • S Gaskin
    Mr. Phillip was excellent youngman to meet. Pleasant, and explained things with understanding. Thank you. Pricing quite expensive.
  • Deborah Giarratana
    Grateful for Joe and the team’s quick response to my water heater and disposal breaking! I was amazed to get same day service— they had changed out the gas water heater and garbage disposal in just a few hours. They had to wait to get some parts delivered but they were not idle while they waited. They cleaned up and I am glad to recommend them. Thanks for your professionalism and timely service.
  • Diane
    You guys were great!! Such awesome customer service from Brenden and Cole. Thank you so much for fixing my clog!! What a relief. I just felt bad you had to come out 3 times, but you still only charged the one fee!! Most excellent. Will definitely call you guys again if something else happens. Thank you so much!!!
  • Ayman Ibrahim
    Man where do I start.. from Courtney answering our calls pleasantly and directing us to who we need to speak to - to Joe who handled our appointment and helped us with the financials and sharing his expertise when we needed it - to Ben the manager, who pulled with a smile and gave us multiple quotes WITH financing options and even waived the service fee (who does that?! 🔥) to Elijah and Drew who sealed the deal by coming in the rain and replaced our main plumbing line and treated my family and house with the upmost respect and care. Genuinely I see why the reviews are where they are, from top to bottom the process was smooth sailing. You can feel the care behind the staff of this company being family owned - I felt like I was apart of the family throughout the process and I highly encourage everyone to check them out!!
  • Johan C
    My hot water heater failed and I called WyattWorks and they set me up for service the next day. They took all my details and when the technician came out he inspected my old heater and then provided me several options. Eric Irvin was very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all my questions and helped me make the best decision for my financial situation and my homes future. They offer financing options for anyone that isn't rich and doesn't have thousands of dollars lying around. Eric got right to work and completed the huge job the same day. I'm more than satisfied and happy with the quality of work that was done and the efficient time it was completed. If I ever have future plumbing needs, I will reach out to WyattWorks immediately.
  • michael riordan
    Phillip did a great job with routing a gas line for us to our fireplace. We appreciated how he explained everything to us. Reason I can’t give 5 stars is due to scheduling snafu caused in office. Otherwise, very nice people, great service
  • Stephen Toth
    Fantastic. Very personable, thorough, and explained everything clearly. 2nd review - even better. Brenden, Drew, and Ismail (may be getting that name wrong) are absolute rockstars. Those gentlemen are all Five Star. First Class WyattWorks!!!!!
  • Paul B.
    This time we needed WyattWorks electrical(used their plumbing services in the past and were extremely satisfied)--several dead outlets and wanted a full home inspection since we just bought this house. Dawson showed on time, was extremely knowledgeable, and explained our short term needs and longer term options. Overall a great experience! Congrats to Seth and team!
