Quick Answers
What homeowners ask us first
How much does leak detection cost?
Simple visible leaks start at $150; slab and underground leak detection runs $400–$800. If we can see and access the leak, repairs typically run $150–$400. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or in irrigation lines need electronic detection equipment — $400–$800 to find, plus repair cost. We use acoustic and pressure-trace methods first to avoid unnecessary demolition.
What are the signs of a slab leak?
Warm or wet spots on floors, unexplained water bill spikes, and the sound of running water with all fixtures off. Other clues: foundation cracks appearing or widening, hot water heater running constantly, mildew or musty smell in carpets, and a water meter that keeps moving when nothing is on. If you see two or more of these together, call us — slab leaks worsen fast.
How fast can you respond to a leak emergency?
Within 60 minutes for active leaks in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. If you have water actively running where it shouldn't be, call 833-PLUMB-IT and shut off your main water valve. We'll dispatch a licensed plumber 24/7. While you wait, move valuables off the floor and document damage with photos for insurance.
