Slab leak detection in Naples, without the guesswork.

Leak and slab leak detection for Naples homes: we find the leak first, with listening gear and a thermal camera, then open only the spot that needs it. You see the photo and the price before we start.

Signs you need it

When to call.

  • Your water bill jumps and you can't say why.
  • A warm or damp patch on a tile or wood floor.
  • The sound of running water with every tap off.
  • Cracks in the floor or baseboards, or a musty smell that won't leave.
  • The water meter moves when nothing is running.
  • Low pressure at more than one tap.

Why it hides

Under the tile, under the slab.

Most homes in Southwest Florida are built on a concrete slab, with water lines running under or through it. A leak down there doesn't drip from a ceiling. It soaks into the ground, sometimes for months, and the first sign is a bill or a warm floor.

In 2025, 85.7% of new single-family homes in the South Atlantic region, which includes Florida, were built on a slab (new homes, not all homes). Source: NAHB analysis of the Census Survey of Construction.

What we do

Find it, show it, fix it.

  1. Confirm it.

    We read your meter and pressure-test each line, so we know whether it's hot or cold, inside or under the slab.

  2. Pinpoint it.

    Listening gear hears the hiss through concrete. A thermal camera shows a hot-water leak as a warm bloom on the floor.

  3. Show you.

    A photo, the spot marked on the floor, and a written price for each way to fix it.

  4. Fix it.

    Either a spot repair through the slab, or a new line run through the walls or attic that leaves the old pipe behind.

  5. Test it.

    We pressure-test again, check the meter, and leave you the photos and a written report.

Cost and time

What changes the price.

Where the line runs, what's on the floor above it, and whether one repair will do or the line should be rerouted.

Leak detection questions

Will you have to break my floor?

Only where the leak is, and only after we've found it. We mark the spot and show you first. Sometimes a reroute means no floor work at all.

Does insurance pay for a slab leak?

That depends on your policy, so ask your agent. We can't tell you what yours covers. We do give you photos and a written report of what we found and fixed, which helps if you file a claim.

Can I check for a leak myself?

Yes. Turn off every tap and anything that uses water, then look at your water meter. If the small leak indicator still turns, water is going somewhere. Call us.

Repair the spot, or reroute the line?

A spot repair is quicker when the pipe is otherwise sound. If the line has leaked before, a reroute is often the lasting fix. We give you both prices and let you choose.
