What We Do

Leak Detection across SWFL.

Hidden plumbing leaks are sneaky and expensive. Water that doesn't immediately show as a puddle is still doing damage — to drywall, framing, flooring, and slabs. Sage uses non-invasive detection equipment (acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras, moisture meters, pressure testing) to pinpoint leaks before any demo work. Saves you money and saves your house.

Signs You Need This

When to call us.

Water bill spiked unexpectedly

Hidden leak somewhere. Could be slab, wall, or supply line. Don't ignore it.

Mystery wet spot on ceiling, wall, or floor

Could be plumbing or roof. We can rule plumbing in or out within an hour.

Hot water heater area damp or rusty

Tank leak, supply leak, or relief valve issue. Treat as urgent.

Hearing water running with everything off

Toilet running, supply leak, or worse. Find it before it becomes a flood.

Damp slab or musty smell from floor

Slab leak possibility. Common in older SWFL homes. Electronic detection finds it without breaking the slab unnecessarily.

Toilet base feels wobbly or smells musty

Wax ring failure leaking under the toilet. Easy fix if caught early.

How It Works

Our process.

01

Initial assessment

We listen to what you've noticed — bill change, water sound, visible damage — and start with the obvious checks.

02

Electronic detection

Acoustic listening device pinpoints leaks under slab, in walls, behind tile. Thermal camera identifies temperature anomalies.

03

Confirm + mark

Once located, we mark the exact spot and explain access options (concrete cut, drywall cut, etc.).

04

Repair quote

Quote covers both the leak repair and any access work. You decide whether we proceed or you handle the demo separately.

Common Questions

The short answers.

How much does leak detection cost?

Diagnostic visit with electronic detection: $250-$450 depending on complexity. Cost is often credited toward the repair if we do the work.

Can you find leaks under the slab?

Yes — acoustic detection and pressure testing locate slab leaks with very little disruption. We mark the exact spot before any concrete cutting.

Will my insurance cover this?

Depends on your policy and what caused the leak. Most policies cover sudden/accidental water damage but not gradual leaks or the repair of the failed pipe itself. Document everything and call your carrier.

What's a slab leak?

A leak in the pressurized water supply line that runs under your home's concrete slab. Common in SWFL homes built before the early 2000s with copper supply lines.

Can you fix it without breaking my floor?

Sometimes — re-routing the line through an attic or wall avoids slab work. We discuss options based on your home's layout and the leak location.

How fast do I need to act?

Fast. Even small leaks rot framing, encourage mold, and add up on water bills. The longer you wait, the more damage.
