Professional leak detection services tailored for your industry in Southwest Florida.
Leak Inspector invests in the most advanced leak detection equipment available. Our technology allows us to find hidden leaks behind walls, beneath concrete slabs, and underground — without cutting, drilling, or demolishing your property. Every piece of equipment in our arsenal serves a specific purpose, and our technicians are trained extensively on each one.
Our FLIR thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations caused by moisture that is invisible to the naked eye. When water escapes from a pipe, it changes the temperature of surrounding materials — walls, floors, and ceilings. Our infrared cameras visualize these temperature differences in real time, revealing the path water is traveling and the extent of moisture intrusion.
Pressurized water escaping from a pipe creates sound — even through concrete, tile, and soil. Our electronic acoustic listening devices amplify these sounds and filter out background noise, allowing our technicians to pinpoint a leak location within inches. This technology is essential for slab leak detection where pipes run beneath concrete foundations.
Before we can find a leak, we need to know exactly where the pipes are. Our electromagnetic pipe locators trace the path of metallic and non-metallic pipes through walls, under slabs, and underground. This mapping ensures we are listening in the right locations and helps your plumber plan the most efficient access point for repair.
Pressure testing is the definitive way to confirm whether a plumbing system has a leak. We use calibrated digital pressure gauges to isolate and test individual plumbing systems — hot water supply, cold water supply, irrigation, and drain lines. A pressure drop over a timed period confirms an active leak in that system, allowing us to focus our acoustic and thermal detection on the right lines.
Our pin and pinless moisture meters measure moisture content in drywall, wood, concrete, and other building materials. We use these readings to create moisture maps that document the full extent of water damage — information critical for insurance claims and accurate restoration scoping.
For leaks that are difficult to locate with acoustic or thermal methods, we use safe, non-toxic tracer gas. The gas is introduced into the plumbing system and escapes at the leak point, where our sensitive detectors pick it up at the surface. This method is particularly effective for drain line leaks, radiant heating systems, and situations where multiple potential leak sources exist.
Our sewer camera inspection systems allow us to visually inspect the interior of drain and sewer lines. The waterproof camera feeds real-time video to a monitor, revealing cracks, root intrusion, bellied sections, and other defects that cause leaks or blockages. The camera includes a locating transmitter so we can mark the exact position and depth of any problem found.
The difference between a good leak detection company and a mediocre one often comes down to equipment and training. Inferior detection methods lead to missed leaks, unnecessary demolition, and repeat service calls. Our investment in professional-grade equipment and ongoing technician training means we find your leak the first time, accurately, with minimal disruption to your property.

Called Leak Inspector for a pre-purchase inspection before buying our home in North Port. They found no leaks, which gave us confidence to proceed with the purchase. The thermal imaging scan of the entire house was thorough and the report was professional. Peace of mind is worth every penny. Would use them again without hesitation.
After noticing our water bill going up for three months, we called Leak Inspector. The technician found a pinhole leak in a copper pipe running through our wall. Without their thermal imaging camera, we never would have found it until the wall started showing damage. Great service, fair price, and very knowledgeable technician.
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.
Professional leak detection is a specialized service that uses advanced technology, including acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic moisture meters, to locate hidden water leaks in your plumbing system without destructive exploration. Unlike general plumbing, leak detection focuses specifically on finding the source of leaks behind walls, under floors, and beneath foundations.
A typical residential leak inspection takes one to two hours, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the plumbing system. Larger homes, commercial properties, or situations with multiple suspected leak areas may take longer. We provide a time estimate when you schedule your appointment.
