Leak Detection
Our acoustic leak detection service uses advanced equipment to pinpoint hidden water leaks in pipes, concrete, or soil. We locate cracks, splits, or holes in plumbing systems, minimising excavation and repair costs. With thermal imaging and EMF locators, we identify underground utilities and provide precise solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Plumbing Services
We handle all residential and commercial plumbing needs, including hot/cold water lines, hot water system installations, and pipe repairs. Our team manages renovations, new builds, and emergency plumbing issues, ensuring compliance with safety standards. We also offer septic tank installations and drainage solutions for long-term reliability.
Gas Plumbing
Our licensed gas plumbers install and maintain natural and LP gas lines for residential and commercial properties. We repair gas leaks, upgrade pipelines, and service continuous-flow hot water systems. Safety checks and compliance with Australian standards ensure secure and efficient gas solutions for homes and businesses.
Drain Inspections
Using CCTV drain cameras, we inspect sewer and stormwater pipes for blockages, tree roots, or structural damage. Our inspections identify leaks, cracks, or collapses in underground systems, providing accurate repair recommendations. This non-invasive method reduces excavation costs and ensures targeted maintenance for residential and commercial properties.
Excavator Hire
We offer tight-access excavator hire with breakers and attachments for plumbing and utility projects. Our equipment handles concrete cutting, drainage work, and narrow-space excavations. With 700mm clearance capability, we provide efficient solutions for residential and commercial sites requiring precision earthworks and repairs.

They were the third person I called to find the leak that was coming from underneath my floor. Every other company had me scheduled in for a week later. They were able to move some appointments around and get me scheduled in the next day. They found the leak and fixed it for us.

I own a small business. After dealing with a reoccurring leak in our building that others had difficulty diagnosing, Water Savers Atlanta Plumbing & Drain Systems came to the rescue. They quickly figured out the problem and were able to fix it for us in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.

There is a reason they make you pay half up front. They dramatically overcharged me for a simple install, and managed to damage the existing plumbing while there (resulting in the dishwasher draining into the basement). The plumber never told me when they were coming (They just showed up) and I had to call multiple times just to get them to setup an appointment. I should have listened to my instincts and gone with another plumber.

I cannot begin to explain how grateful our business is to have found Ernesto and his team. We have encountered many plumbing emergencies, leak detection, septic issues, etc and Ernesto is always right there no matter what time of day to take our call. I wish we could give them ten stars!

Water Savers should change their name to Life Savers! From the moment they were referred to me throughout the entire process I felt like hey were partnering with me to truly help me. My wife and I recently purchased our first home and we are expecting our first child. Shortly after the home purchase we started having major issues with our water line and we didn't know what to do. One of the contractors doing renovations on our home highly recommended Water Savers to us and they did not disappoint. The pricing was competitive but fair, the service was excellent, and I felt the genuine care and concern

They initially offered water leak "diagnostic" for $285, which did not do any good as they would NOT locate the exact leakage. However, the lead plumber, Lou, went above and beyond to find the leakage on our front lawn so the leakage was fixed without additional outrageous cost. I think what they charged me was pretty fair, and the job well done.
