Plumbing emergency? Burst pipe, no water, sewer backup. We respond day and night. Call or Text (706) 669-5727
Short answer: A leak is water getting out of a pipe, fitting or fixture. Ryan finds where it is and repairs it, in supply lines, fittings and fixtures.
The county water authority's water quality report gives three simple tests.
If the meter moves and the toilet is fine, the leak is somewhere else. That is where Ryan comes in.

The City of Jasper is moving its water meters to a system that sends each day's use to City Hall. The city says this gives near real time usage and leak information, so a call to City Hall (706-692-9100) may tell you whether your meter shows constant use. If your bill comes from the Pickens County Water and Sewer Authority, call the number on that bill.
On a well there is no meter and no bill to check. The clue is the pump. If it runs more often than it used to, or the pressure tank cycles when no one is using water, water may be escaping somewhere in the house. See well pump repair in Jasper if the pump is the problem.
The county describes a mild four-season climate with occasional winter snowfall. Pipes in crawl spaces and outside walls can freeze, split and then leak when they thaw. In spring, check the hose bibs and the lines to them. Leaks also start at old shutoff valves, water heater connections, and under sinks. Some give you no sign for weeks.
Ryan finds where the water is coming from, shows you what he found, and tells you what the repair takes. You get the price before any work starts. Then he repairs the supply line, fitting or fixture. If water is running, shut off the main valve first.
"Ryan tells you what he is going to do, why he needs to do it and what it will cost. Then he shows up when he says he will, does the work correctly, neatly and quickly and bills with no surprises. I wish there were more people like Ryan in the world."
