Jacksonville Leak Detection & Repair

Signs You Need Professional Leak Detection

Hidden leaks are often difficult to spot until they have already caused significant trouble. Knowing what to look for can help you identify a plumbing issue before it turns into a costly restoration project.

• Unexplained High Water Bills: A sudden, significant increase in your monthly water costs usually indicates that water is running somewhere it should not be.
• Musty Odors or Mold: Persistent damp smells or visible mold growth on walls or baseboards often point to a slow leak behind the drywall.
• Warm Spots on Flooring: If you notice a specific area of your floor feels warm to the touch, it may indicate a leak in a hot water line beneath the surface.
• Low Water Pressure: A drop in pressure across multiple fixtures can be a sign that a main line has been compromised and is losing volume.
• Sound of Running Water: Hearing the faint sound of rushing or dripping water when all faucets are turned off is a clear indicator of a plumbing failure.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

A slab leak occurs when the piping beneath your home’s concrete foundation fails. Because Jacksonville sits on shifting soil and faces corrosive coastal air, these leaks are common and can eventually lead to foundation cracks. We provide specialized slab leak services, including electronic locating and targeted repairs, to resolve the issue with minimal disruption to your flooring.

Wall and Ceiling Leak Repair

Water traveling from a second-floor bathroom or through an attic can cause ceiling stains and weakened drywall. We identify the source—whether it is a failed joint or a corroded pipe—and provide a permanent fix.

Main Water Line Repair

A leak in the line running from the city meter to your home can saturate your yard and cause sinkholes. Our technicians can repair or replace these critical lines to restore full service to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection & Repair

Does Jacksonville’s hard water cause more leaks?

The high mineral content found in many local water supplies can lead to scale buildup and corrosion inside copper pipes over time. This mineral degradation often results in pinhole leaks that require professional detection and repair.

Why are slab leaks so common in Northeast Florida?

Our local geography consists largely of sandy soil that shifts with heavy rain and changing water tables, putting physical stress on the pipes under your foundation. Additionally, the age of many homes in areas like San Marco or Avondale means older iron or copper lines are reaching the end of their lifespan.

How can I tell if a leak is in my house or in the city line?

You can check this by turning off the main water valve to your house and checking your water meter; if the meter dial is still moving, the leak is likely in the service line between the meter and your home. If you need assistance with this, our technicians can perform a comprehensive line test.

Will my homeowners insurance cover leak repairs?

Most policies in Florida cover the cost of “ensuing damage” like ruined drywall or flooring, but may not cover the specific pipe repair itself. We can provide a detailed digital report of our findings to assist you when filing a claim with your provider.
