Leak Detection in Birmingham, Alabama 35201
10% of housing predates 1940.
Free to homeowners in Birmingham — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Birmingham, 10% of housing was built before 1940. A bill that climbs with nothing damp indoors points to the private side of the meter, outside the building, where water drains away without ever showing.

Birmingham is a mostly post-war town: 10% of its housing was built before 1940. A leak on a newer service line is usually a joint or a stone against the pipe, not age.
What this site is
AcousticLeak is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work and no leak location, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about what your own utility will credit; only your utility can tell you that.Birmingham in numbers

The adjustment is worth asking about
Many utilities will adjust a bill once for a hidden leak that has been repaired, on evidence. The terms are set by your own utility and nobody else can tell you what they are.
A rising bill with nothing damp indoors
That combination almost always means the leak is on the private side of the meter and outside the building — under a driveway, a lawn or a slab, where it drains away without ever showing.
