🚨 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.

🔎 How We Find Hidden Leaks (Without the Guesswork)

At True Plumbers & AC, we use industry-leading tools that let us “see” inside walls, floors, and soil—so we can detect leaks with precision:

  • Acoustic sensors to hear pipe leaks inside concrete

  • Pressure testing to isolate leak sources

  • Moisture meters to locate water damage behind walls

  • Tracer gas for sensitive slab and underground leaks

These tools let us work faster, cleaner, and with minimal disruption to your home.

🧱 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.
