Cost-Saving Commercial Leak Detection in Greer, SC Retail Store

Water leaks in commercial spaces often go unnoticed until damage becomes costly. CB Smith Plumbing was called in by a retail store in Greer, SC to investigate unusually high water bills. Our team conducted a full commercial leak detection service and quickly uncovered multiple hidden leaks that had been silently inflating the store’s monthly operating costs.

We used advanced acoustic listening and thermal imaging equipment to pinpoint the sources with minimal disruption to daily operations. As part of our broader plumbing services, we also offer leak detection and repair solutions for residential and commercial properties alike.

During the inspection, our technicians identified:

• A slow slab leak near the store’s utility room
• A failing underground pipe connection in the rear service area
• Continuous dripping from a concealed ceiling pipe above the restroom

Each of these issues had been contributing to unnecessary water usage, and more critically, they posed risks of structural damage and mold if left unresolved.

Once detected, our licensed plumbers performed targeted repairs using trenchless methods and durable, long-lasting materials. The outcome:

• 30% reduction in the store’s monthly water bill
• Elimination of mold risk
• No interruption to daily business operations
• Peace of mind knowing the plumbing system is now secure

The store owner was impressed not just by the technical precision of our work, but by the cost-saving outcome that began reflecting in utility statements within one billing cycle.

Water leaks don’t just cost money—they devalue properties over time. Whether you own a home or run a business, early detection and prompt repair can protect your investment. Here are other leak-prone areas you should have checked regularly:

• Toilet seals and supply lines – Even small drips can waste thousands of gallons a year.
• Water heaters and faucets – Undetected leaks from aging fixtures lead to hidden damage.
• Irrigation systems – Outdoor leaks often go unnoticed until you see a spike in your bill.
• Slab and foundation leaks – These can compromise structural integrity if ignored.

Proactively addressing these issues not only decreases your monthly utility bills but also adds long-term value to your home or commercial property.
