Professional leak detection services tailored for your industry in Southwest Florida.
Suspecting a leak but not sure? These simple do-it-yourself tests can help you determine whether your home has a hidden water leak before you call a professional. They require no special tools and take just a few minutes.
This is the most reliable DIY method to confirm whether your home has an active leak. Here is how to do it:
What the results mean:
If the meter test confirms a leak, you can narrow down the source:
Toilets are one of the most common sources of hidden water waste. A leaking toilet flapper can waste hundreds of gallons per day without making any noise.
Repeat this test for every toilet in your home. A single leaking toilet can add $50 to $100 per month to your water bill.
Walk through your home and check these areas for signs of hidden leaks:
DIY tests are useful for confirming a problem exists, but they cannot locate the leak. If any of these tests indicate a leak, or if you are seeing signs of water damage but cannot find the source, professional detection is the next step. Our equipment can find leaks that are invisible and inaudible to homeowners — behind walls, under slabs, and underground.
Do not attempt to tear open walls or break through concrete to find a leak yourself. This often causes more damage and cost than the leak itself. Professional detection pinpoints the location so repairs can be targeted and minimal.

The thermal imaging inspection of our Naples home was incredibly thorough. The technician scanned every room and found moisture behind our master bathroom wall that we had no idea was there. The color images clearly showed the wet area and helped our plumber target the repair without any exploratory demolition. The technology they use is truly impressive.
I noticed a damp spot on our living room ceiling and feared the worst. Leak Inspector came out the next day and used their thermal camera to trace the moisture back to a slow leak in the upstairs bathroom supply line. They found it quickly and their report helped us get the repair covered by insurance. Very impressed with the technology and expertise.
Leak Inspector was outstanding from start to finish. They found a hidden water leak behind our bathroom wall that two other companies missed. The technician was professional, explained everything clearly, and had the leak pinpointed within an hour. Their detailed report made our insurance claim process so much easier. Highly recommend their services to anyone in the Sarasota area.
