Plumbing & Drain Leak Detection in Central Florida
Fast, non-invasive detection of hidden supply and drain line leaks for homes and businesses across Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Sumter counties.
A cabinet that’s always damp underneath, a musty smell that won’t go away, the sound of trickling water inside a wall, or a water bill creeping up month after month — these are the quiet signs of a hidden plumbing or drain leak. The Water Leak Detectors locate leaks in both your pressurized supply lines and your drain lines across Central Florida, using non-invasive acoustic, thermal, and camera equipment to find the exact spot without opening walls or floors to search.
Find the source first, fix it once. And on residential copper pipes, our promise holds: we find the leak or it’s free.
Plumbing Leak vs. Drain Leak — What’s the Difference?
A plumbing leak is usually in a supply line — a pressurized pipe carrying clean water to your faucets, toilets, and appliances. Because it’s under constant pressure, it can leak continuously, drive up your water bill, and is often easy to hear with acoustic equipment. A drain leak is in a line carrying wastewater away from the home. It’s not pressurized, so it only leaks when water is draining, which makes it sneakier — and better found with a camera and moisture mapping. We locate both.
Signs of a Hidden Plumbing or Drain Leak
Any of these is worth checking before the damage spreads:
-
A water bill that keeps rising with no change in usage
-
The sound of running or trickling water inside a wall or floor
-
Damp or warped cabinet bases, baseboards, or flooring
-
A persistent musty or sewage-like smell
-
Mold or mildew appearing around sinks, tubs, or walls
-
Low water pressure, or a water meter that moves when everything is off
How We Detect Plumbing & Drain Leaks
We match the method to the type of line, so we pinpoint the leak without tearing the property apart:
-
We isolate. We narrow the problem to a specific line or fixture, so we know where to focus.
-
We listen and scan. Acoustic equipment hears pressurized supply-line leaks, while a FLIR thermal camera and moisture meter reveal where water has spread behind surfaces.
-
We look inside. A video borescope inspects inside walls, cabinets, and drain lines to confirm the exact source — then we mark it for a targeted repair.
Why a Hidden Leak Shouldn’t Wait
Hidden leaks don’t stay small. A slow supply-line leak wastes water and money every day it runs, and a drain leak quietly soaks the materials around it — rotting wood, swelling flooring, and feeding mold inside walls where you can’t see it. Finding the source early keeps the repair contained and the cost low. Waiting turns a simple locate into a remediation project.
Honest, Flat-Rate Pricing
Residential plumbing and drain leak detection is a flat $350 — you know the price before we arrive, with no hidden callout fees. Commercial detection is $450 for the first two hours, then $50 per additional half hour. And if we can’t locate your leak, you don’t pay (residential copper pipes).
