Finding & Fixing Leaks in Lee County, Collier County, and Charlotte County

Hidden leaks generate escalating issues that compound over time. A minor drip behind a wall can waste thousands of gallons of water annually while fostering mold growth and structural rot. Often, by the time water stains surface on a ceiling or soft spots appear in flooring, the moisture has been compromising building materials for weeks or months. Because these breaches often hide under foundations or deep underground, damage frequently occurs long before it becomes visible to the naked eye.

At Southern Plumbing Solutions, we locate and resolve these hidden water breaches for residents in Fort Myers, Naples, Sarasota, and throughout Southwest Florida. We utilize non-invasive methods to find and fix leaks that compromise your property’s integrity, from minor dripping valves to major structural pipe failures. Our team keeps an eye out for indicators such as unexplained spikes in water bills, damp patches on surfaces, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are closed to stop damage at the source.

Advanced Leak Detection Technology

Modern leak detection has come a long way from cutting into walls and hoping you find the problem. We utilize specialized equipment that locates leaks without unnecessary demolition, saving you time, money, and stress.

Our leak detection technology includes:

Acoustic listening devices that pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it's too faint for human ears
Thermal imaging cameras that reveal temperature differences caused by hidden moisture
Pressure testing that isolates leaks within specific sections of your plumbing system
Video inspection cameras that navigate through pipes, showing us cracks, corrosion, and joint failures
Electronic detection equipment for slab leaks beneath concrete foundations

These technologies help us pinpoint exactly where the leak is without tearing out entire walls or floors. We can often access the problem area through small openings rather than major demolition.

For slab leaks running beneath your foundation, electronic detection identifies the precise location under your home, which is critical since concrete makes it impossible to see what's happening underneath.

Once we've located the leak, our technicians perform repairs using methods that are appropriate for your pipe material, the accessibility of the leak, and the extent of the damage involved.

Types of Leaks Common in Fort Myers Homes

Southwest Florida properties exhibit distinct leak patterns, influenced by regional soil settlement and local construction.

Slab leaks occur when pipes beneath concrete foundations corrode or shift, potentially undermining a building's structural integrity. In older homes, galvanized steel pipes often suffer from water-driven corrosion, resulting in pinhole leaks, while properties with polybutylene plumbing frequently experience sudden failures as the material becomes brittle over time.

Outdoor breaches in irrigation systems, pool plumbing, and main water lines can run unnoticed for months, saturating the ground and attracting pests. Inside the home, water heaters are susceptible to tank corrosion and valve failures that can transition from minor drips to significant flooding. Our leak detection and repair services address a wide range of scenarios, from minor fixture drips to major underground pipe failures, across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Lehigh Acres.

The Real Cost of Ignoring Leaks

Water damage compounds rapidly, as hidden drips foster mold growth, rot wood framing, and cause drywall to crumble. By the time moisture saturates insulation or warps flooring, repair costs often escalate into the thousands. Beyond structural decay, trapped moisture compromises indoor air quality by promoting the growth of mold species that can trigger respiratory issues and allergic reactions.

Leaks also result in massive water waste; a single running toilet can lose 200 gallons daily, while hidden pipe breaches often go unnoticed until a spike in the utility bill occurs. Identifying these issues early prevents the spread of property damage and health concerns.

Our detection and repair services safeguard properties against the long-term consequences of undetected leaks.
