From The Hammocks to Kendall Lakes, 1970s–1980s homes still hide polybutylene and aging copper that fail as pinholes or sudden no-water events. We diagnose same day, quote repair vs partial repipe in plain language, and fix the section that is actually failing—not the whole house by default.
West Kendall’s growth wave means 1970s polybutylene pockets next to 1990s CPVC and brand-new warranty punch lists. Pinholes and PB failures look like “random leaks” until you open the right chase.
We camera or pressure-test before guessing, price the failing zone only, and leave you a clear path if a later phase repipe makes sense—without selling a full house on day one.
What we see most in Kendall residential plumbing
Suburban tropical storms push roof drains and septic pockets hard; humidity speeds copper pinholes in 1970s–80s stock.
- •Polybutylene supply failures in 1970s–80s homes
- •Copper pinholes misread as fixture leaks
- •Main drain backups after heavy West Kendall rain
- •New-construction warranty defects on recent pods
Large suburban footprint from 1970s originals through West Kendall expansion—diagnosis must match the era, not a one-size repair.

Residential Leak Detection FAQs for Kendall
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.
