Leak detection & repair in Fort Myers, FL.

The leak you can't see is the one that costs you.

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. In Southwest Florida's slab-on-grade homes, water lines run under the concrete — and a pinhole leak there can run for months, quietly undermining the slab and feeding mold. Modern leak detection finds these without tearing your house apart.

Signs of a hidden leak.

• A water bill that jumps with no change in usage.
• The sound of running water when everything is off.
• Warm spots on tile floors (hot-line slab leaks).
• Damp baseboards, bubbling paint, or musty smells.
• A water meter that moves when no water is being used — try this: turn everything off for an hour and check the meter twice.
• Persistent mold or mildew in Florida humidity that cleaning won't beat.

How professional leak detection works.

Why slab leaks are a Southwest Florida specialty.

Most local homes sit on concrete slabs with copper water lines running beneath. Decades of thermal expansion, shifting sandy soil, and mineral-heavy water wear those lines thin. The result: slab leaks are one of the most common — and most misunderstood — plumbing problems in Lee County. Repair options range from a targeted spot repair to rerouting the line overhead, depending on the pipe's overall condition. A good plumber explains the tradeoffs instead of defaulting to the most expensive option.
