Residential Leak Detection FAQs for Coral Gables
Get answers to common questions about our residential services
How do you find hidden leaks in residential properties?
We use acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to locate leaks without destructive testing—behind walls, under floors, and in slabs—then mark locations for minimal-impact repairs.
What are signs of a hidden water leak?
Watch for unexplained high water bills, the sound of running water when nothing is on, musty odors, warm spots on floors, or discoloration on walls and ceilings.
Can you detect slab leaks?
Yes, we specialize in slab leak detection using acoustic equipment and other non-invasive methods to find leaks under your foundation without unnecessary digging.
How much water can a hidden leak waste?
Even a small leak can waste thousands of gallons per month. A 1/8-inch crack can release over 250 gallons per day - that's over $100/month on your water bill.
