Leak Detection Services
Serving Palm Beach County, Martin County & St. Lucie County
​
Water leaks rarely show themselves — but the damage they cause can be severe. Southeastern Leak Detection & Repair specializes in non‑invasive leak detection, combining advanced equipment with licensed plumbing expertise to locate hidden leaks accurately and efficiently.
We diagnose slab leaks, plumbing leaks, irrigation failures, pool plumbing issues, and mystery moisture problems for homeowners, HOAs, commercial properties, and real estate professionals.
​
Leak detection is more of an artform than an exact science — and that’s why training, experience, and interpretation matter. As licensed and insured plumbers, we use our years of field expertise alongside top‑tier diagnostic equipment to make sense of the data, understand the symptoms, and pinpoint the true source of the leak. Once the leak is identified, our team can perform the necessary repairs — learn more on our Repair Services page.
Non-Invasive Plumbing Leak Detection
​We locate hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition. Using acoustic listening, pressure testing, thermal imaging, and moisture mapping, we identify the exact failure point — not just the general area.
​
Common issues we diagnose:
-
Slab leaks
-
Wall and ceiling leaks
-
Hot water line leaks
-
High water bills
-
Mystery moisture
-
Water intrusion concerns
You receive clear findings, photos, and a recommended repair path.
Acoustic Leak Detection
We use Leaktronics acoustic leak detection equipment, charging plumbing lines with water and air to create detectable turbulence. Our trained technicians listen for escaping air bubbles through specialized sensors, allowing us to pinpoint leaks beneath slabs, behind walls, or under flooring.
This method is ideal for:
-
Slab leaks
-
Buried copper leaks
-
Long plumbing runs
-
Hard‑to‑access areas
Thermal Imaging & Moisture Scoping
​We use thermal imaging cameras equipped with hygrometers to identify:
-
Hot and cold moisture signatures
-
Temperature anomalies
-
Active water movement
-
Moisture values across different substrates
This helps us map moisture patterns, confirm leak activity, and differentiate plumbing leaks from environmental moisture or condensation.
Line Locating
​Using best‑in‑class line locators, we can map out the exact path of plumbing lines beneath your slab.
This is extremely helpful for:
-
Planning repairs
-
Showing homeowners where lines run
-
Helping plumbers avoid unnecessary demolition
-
Identifying vulnerable or aging line paths
Accurate line mapping reduces guesswork and speeds up repair planning.
Drain Line Scope Cameras
We use professional drain cameras to inspect sewer and drain lines for:
-
Breaks
-
Cracks
-
Root intrusion
-
Misaligned joints
-
Blockages
Our detection equipment allows us to locate the camera head from above, giving you an exact surface location of the problem — not just a video of the inside of the pipe.
