🚨 Why Fast Leak Detection Matters
Water leaks that go unnoticed don’t just waste water—they silently destroy your home’s structure and value.
Warped floors and walls
Mold and mildew growth in hidden spaces
Foundation cracks and settling
Higher utility bills and water waste
Insurance complications if damage isn’t handled properly
The sooner you call, the more damage you prevent—and the more money you save.

🛠️ Common Signs You Might Have a Plumbing Leak

Unexpectedly high water bills
Musty smells you can’t find the source of
Hot spots on your floor
Pooled water with no visible source
Water meter keeps running when nothing’s on
Wall or ceiling stains that grow over time
Foundation cracks or buckling flooring
Think something’s off? Request an inspection—we’ll help you find the problem before it spreads.
🧱 What Is a Slab Leak—and Why It’s Serious
A slab leak is a water line leak underneath your concrete foundation. These are especially common in Central Florida due to soil conditions and older home plumbing.
Symptoms of a slab leak:
Warm or damp spots on the floor
Mold or mildew smells
Sound of running water under the floor
Cracks in baseboards or walls
Spikes in your water bill
Left untreated, slab leaks can lead to severe structural damage. We use non-invasive detection to find the leak, then offer in-place repair or reroute solutions depending on the severity.

🧠 Leak Detection Questions Homeowners Ask
Will my insurance cover water damage from a hidden leak?
Often, yes—but fast documentation and repair is critical. We’ll help provide details for your claim.
Do you break through my floors or walls to find the leak?
No—we use non-invasive tools first. We only open up surfaces if absolutely necessary (and only after you approve it).
Can you repair the leak once it’s found?
Yes. We provide full-service repair, rerouting, and repiping if needed—all in-house.
How do I know if it’s a slab leak or a regular pipe leak?
That’s exactly what we diagnose with our detection process. Slab leaks have certain heat, sound, and pressure signals we can detect.
