Main Water Line Leak Detection in Sarasota
The service line between your meter and house can leak underground for months, especially in older galvanized or copper lines. Wet spots in the yard, unusually green grass or a sinking area near the front of the house are clues. We use line tracers to map the pipe and ground microphones to hear the leak. That keeps excavation to a small, focused hole.

This equipment allows us to identify leaks in various materials, from copper and PVC to PEX, with minimal disruption to your property.
Pool and Spa Leak Detection in Sarasota
Summer heat and wind can evaporate a lot of pool water, so it can be hard to tell normal loss from a leak. A bucket test compares evaporation to actual water loss. We then pressure test plumbing lines and use dye testing around lights, skimmers and fittings. Finding the leak safeguards the pool shell and the soil around it.
Fixture and Appliance Leak Detection in Sarasota, FL
Running toilets, worn faucet cartridges and leaking water heater connections waste more water than most people realize. A silent toilet leak can lose hundreds of gallons a day. We check flappers, fill valves, supply lines, softeners and water heater fittings. These repairs are usually quick and inexpensive.

Leak Detection Cost Comparison in Sarasota, FL
Professional leak detection typically costs $150 to $450 for a standard home, depending on the system size and how many areas need testing. Pool leak detection usually runs $250 to $500. Repair costs vary widely, from $150 for a fixture fix to several thousand dollars for a slab reroute. Accurate detection keeps the repair cost as low as it can be.
