Quick answer: Leak detection in Naples, FL uses moisture meters, thermal imaging and a step-by-step check of plumbing and AC lines to find water you can't see. Finding a hidden leak early limits damage to drywall, floors and slabs, and helps prevent mold. Once the leak is found, the plumbing repair and water damage repair can be planned.

What our leak detection service includes

Water travels. A leak in one spot can show up as a stain several feet away, or one floor down in a condo. Good leak detection follows the water back to its source with as little cutting as possible.

  • Moisture mapping of walls, ceilings, floors and cabinets.
  • Thermal imaging to spot temperature differences caused by water.
  • Water meter checks to confirm if water is leaving the pipes when nothing is running.
  • AC condensate line and drain pan checks, a top source of leaks in Naples.
  • Fixture and appliance checks for water heaters, toilets, ice makers and washers.
  • Slab leak signs such as warm floor spots, cracked tile or damp baseboards.
  • A clear report showing where water is and what likely caused it.

Signs you need leak detection in Naples

  • Your water bill jumps with no change in use.
  • You hear water running when every tap is off.
  • A ceiling stain keeps spreading, even when it hasn't rained.
  • A floor spot feels warm, or tile starts to crack or lift.
  • Drywall near a bathroom, kitchen or AC closet feels damp.
  • A condo neighbor below reports water coming from your unit.

Many hidden leaks in Southwest Florida trace back to the AC system. If water shows up near your air handler, read why your AC is leaking water inside the house.

How we find hidden water leaks

  1. Listen to the story.When did it start? Does it change with rain, AC use or showers?
  2. Check the meter.A moving meter with everything off points to a supply-side leak.
  3. Scan the area.Thermal imaging and moisture meters show where water is spreading.
  4. Narrow it down.We test fixtures, drains and AC lines one by one.
  5. Confirm the source.We open only what is needed to verify the leak.
  6. Plan the fix.We explain what plumbing, AC or roofing repair is needed and handle the drying and repairs.

What affects leak detection cost?

  • How hidden the leak is, since some are found in minutes and others take hours.
  • Type of leak, such as a supply line, drain line, slab or AC line.
  • Home type, since condos may need access to units above or below.
  • Size of the home and number of bathrooms and fixtures.
  • Follow-up work, like drying, drywall repair or a plumbing fix.

DIY leak checks vs. professional leak detection

You can do a quick check yourself. Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch your water meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, water is leaking somewhere. Look under sinks, behind toilets and around the water heater. Check your AC drain pan for standing water.

Call a pro when you can't see the leak, when it is inside a wall, ceiling or slab, or when it affects another unit. Cutting random holes to search costs more than finding the leak first. Our guide to the signs of water damage in walls can help you spot problem areas.

Insurance notes for hidden leaks

Many policies treat sudden leaks differently from slow leaks that happened over weeks or months. Some pay to find and access a leak, but not to fix the pipe itself. Read your policy, take photos, and keep the leak detection report for your claim.

How we handle leaks in condo buildings

In a condo, the stain is often not where the leak is. Water can travel along pipes and framing before it drips. We check the unit above, the unit itself and sometimes the units beside it. We work with the building manager on access and share findings with each owner so everyone knows where the water came from.

Leak detection questions

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Watch for a rising water bill, the sound of running water, damp drywall, warm floor spots, growing stains, or a musty smell. A simple meter test, with all water off for 15 minutes, can confirm a supply-side leak.

What is a slab leak?

A slab leak is a leak in a water pipe under or inside a home's concrete slab. Signs include warm spots on the floor, cracked or loose tile, damp baseboards and a jump in your water bill. Many Naples homes are built on slabs.

Can you find a leak without tearing out walls?

Usually we can narrow it down with moisture meters, thermal imaging and testing, then open only a small area to confirm. That keeps repair work smaller than cutting holes to search.

Why is water coming from my ceiling when it hasn't rained?

In Naples, the most common cause is the AC system, such as a clogged condensate line or an overflowing drain pan. A plumbing line, toilet or shower above, or a condo unit upstairs can also be the source.

Do you fix the leaking pipe too?

We find the leak and handle water removal, drying and repairs to the home. We will tell you what kind of repair the pipe or AC needs so the right trade can fix it.
