Non-Invasive Leak Detection to Protect Your Florida Home

Slow, hidden leaks are one of the most common causes of water damage and mold growth in Florida homes. Water can escape from supply lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, roof penetrations, windows and HVAC condensate lines, often travelling behind walls, under flooring or above ceilings long before any sign shows up. Our Leak Detection service helps locate where water is getting in or escaping so it can be repaired before it spreads.

We combine a careful visual evaluation with professional tools, including infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters, to trace temperature anomalies and elevated moisture back toward their likely source without opening walls. You receive clear documentation with photos and thermal images of the affected areas, so you, your plumber, roofer or insurance company know exactly where to look. Leak detection pairs well with our Moisture Intrusion Testing and Mold Inspection services when water has already caused visible concerns.

01. What does a leak detection inspection include?

We evaluate accessible areas of the home for signs of water leaks, including staining, swelling, corrosion and odors, and use infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters to trace hidden moisture toward its likely source.

02. Do you need to cut into walls or ceilings?

No. Our leak detection is non-invasive. Thermal imaging and moisture meters let us identify suspect areas without opening walls, floors or ceilings.

03. What are common signs of a hidden leak?

Unexplained increases in your water bill, water stains, peeling paint, warped flooring, musty odors, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, or a water meter that moves when nothing is in use.

04. What happens after you find a leak?

You receive a report with photos and thermal images showing where the moisture was found, so a licensed plumber, roofer or contractor can make targeted repairs. If water has been present for a while, we can also perform a mold inspection.
