What drives leak detection calls in Mississippi
Hurricane season: Storm surge and flooding on the coast affect sewer systems, septic tanks and slab homes.
Jackson, Meridian and Vicksburg have many older homes with iron waste piping that scales and cracks with age, and much of rural Mississippi relies on septic systems. Coastal homes are often elevated or on slabs.

How do I test for a hidden leak?
Turn off every fixture and appliance, note the meter, and check again after 30 minutes without using water. If it moved, there's a leak. Close the house shutoff and check again; if it still moves, the leak is on the service line.
