SOMETHING NOT RIGHT?

Learn the Signs of a Plumbing Leak

A leak isn’t always obvious. A higher-than-usual JEA water bill, unexplained moisture, or other changes around your home could mean water is escaping somewhere you can’t see. Explore these resources to learn what to look for, where hidden leaks can occur, and how PureFlo can find the source.

Leak Detection Guide for Jacksonville Homeowners

Finding Hidden Leaks Without Tearing Up Your Home

Signs You Have a Hidden Water Leak

Check Your Water Meter First

Shut off every faucet, appliance and sprinkler zone, then look at your water meter. If the small leak indicator is moving, or the reading changes after an hour with no water in use, water is escaping somewhere. This simple test tells you a leak exists; professional leak detection tells you exactly where.

Common Causes of Pipe Leaks

Most leaks come from aging or corroded pipe, failed fittings and connections, high water pressure that stresses the system, and pipes that rub against framing or concrete. Outdoor water lines can also be damaged by tree roots, settling soil or digging. Older pipe materials such as galvanized steel and polybutylene, both common in Jacksonville homes built before the mid-1990s, are especially prone to leaks.

How Professional Leak Detection Works

Modern leak detection is about pinpointing the problem before opening anything up. Plumbers typically use four tools, and the result is a small, targeted repair instead of guesswork and unnecessary demolition.

Pressure Testing

Confirms which line is leaking.

Electronic Listening

Hears water escaping through walls, floors or soil.

Thermal Imaging

Spots temperature changes from hot water leaks.

Line Tracing

Follows buried pipes to locate the problem.

After the Leak Is Found

Many leaks can be fixed with a simple section repair. When the leak is under the foundation, see our slab leak detection and repair service. If the pipe is failing in several places, a whole-home repipe may be the more reliable long-term answer, and a damaged main supply line can be handled through our water line repair service.

Small Leaks Get Expensive

Even a slow drip inside a wall can waste a surprising amount of water and quietly damage drywall, flooring and framing. If you suspect a leak, call PureFlo Plumbing at 904-803-0495 or request a free quote.

Leak Detection FAQs

Water Leak Detection Questions, Answered

What Jacksonville homeowners ask us most before booking leak detection.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Watch for a water bill that keeps rising, the sound of running water when nothing is on, a water meter that moves when all fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor, musty odors or stains on walls and ceilings.

We use non-invasive tools such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and moisture meters to narrow down the exact location of the leak. That means smaller access openings and faster repairs.

In most cases, yes. Pinpointing the leak first lets us open only a small area to make the repair instead of guessing and cutting into large sections of your home.

A slab leak, a leaking irrigation line, a running toilet or a cracked supply line can all waste water without visible signs. Leak detection in Jacksonville is the fastest way to find the real cause.

If the leak turns out to be under the foundation, here is what slab leak repair typically costs.

Yes. Once the leak is located, our licensed plumbers explain the repair options and pricing, then fix the pipe so the problem does not come back.
