Hidden Water Leaks
When the meter moves but you can't see a drip, we start with the fixtures and tell you what the next step really is.
When you can't see where the water is going
Hidden leaks take more patience. The water may be in a wall, under a floor, under a slab, or somewhere along the underground line between the meter and the house. The clues are usually the meter, the bill, a sound, or a stain that keeps coming back.
We start with the obvious: fixtures, toilets, the water heater, the meter, and what you can hear. A surprising number of "hidden" leaks turn out to be a running toilet or a valve in a cabinet. If those check out, we go further.
Walls, floors and slabs
A stain on a ceiling under a bathroom often points to a tub, shower or toilet supply above. A warm spot on a slab, or a floor that stays damp, can point to a line under the concrete. Those jobs may mean opening a wall or discussing how to reach a line under a slab.
We'll explain what we found and what the next step would involve. We do not claim that a camera, a microphone or a thermal image will find every leak, and we won't pretend otherwise on this page. If we need to open something up to know for sure, we'll say that before we do it.
Standing water near outlets or a leak you cannot slow down is urgent. Shut the main off if you can, stay out of the water, and call (772) 203-5437. Open Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM. Emergency service may be available after hours, so call and ask.
Hidden leak questions
What if the leak is under the slab or inside a wall?
Those are harder. We start with what you can see and hear, the fixtures, and the meter. If a leak may be under a slab or inside a wall, we'll explain what we found and what opening things up would involve. We don't claim a special tool will find every leak, and we don't guess.
My water bill went up but I don't see a leak. What now?
An unexplained jump in the bill is one of the most common ways a hidden leak shows up. Check the meter with everything off, listen for running water, and look under sinks, around the water heater and at toilets (a running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water). Then call us and describe what you found.
There's water all over the floor. What should I do?
Shut the water off at the main if you know where it is, or at the fixture shutoff if the leak is at one sink or toilet. If a water heater is leaking, also shut off its power or gas if you can do that safely. Stay out of standing water near electrical outlets. Then call us. We're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM; emergency service may be available after hours, so call and ask.
