Leak Detection & Leak Control in Miami, FL

We find the leak before we open anything. Electronic and acoustic leak location that pinpoints slab, wall and underground leaks so the repair stays small.

The expensive part of a hidden leak is almost never the pipe. It is the drywall, the tile, the cabinetry and the slab that get destroyed while somebody guesses where the water is coming from. Lorente Plumbing Services locates leaks electronically first, then opens exactly one spot.

Miami properties are especially vulnerable. Most homes here are built on slab, the water table is high, and a leak under concrete can run for months without a single visible drip — while quietly undermining the slab and feeding mold inside the walls.

How we find leaks without demolition

Acoustic leak location

Ground microphones and amplifiers that hear pressurised water escaping a line through concrete, tile and soil.

Line tracing and pipe locating

We map the actual route of your supply and drain lines so we know what is under the floor before a saw touches it.

Pressure and isolation testing

Section-by-section testing that proves which branch is losing pressure and rules out the ones that are fine.

Thermal and moisture survey

Temperature and moisture differences reveal hot-water slab leaks and the true extent of saturation behind finishes.

Sewer camera confirmation

For drain-side leaks, an HD camera shows the break, the offset or the root intrusion on screen before we quote the repair.

Repair and leak control

Once located, we repair, reroute or replace the line — and where a system keeps failing, we plan the repipe that ends the cycle.

Symptoms of a hidden leak in a Miami home

  • A water bill that climbed with no change in usage
  • The sound of running water when every fixture is off
  • A warm or hot patch on a tile or concrete floor
  • Cracked, lifting or hollow-sounding floor tile
  • Musty smell, mildew or mold in a closet or along a baseboard
  • Stained or bubbling drywall with no fixture above it
  • Grass that is greener over one strip of the yard
  • A water meter dial that keeps moving with the main closed

Why leak control is worth doing early

Florida homeowners policies increasingly exclude long-term seepage. A leak that has been running for months is often treated as a maintenance failure rather than a sudden loss, which can mean the repair comes out of your pocket instead of the policy.

Locating and documenting a leak early protects the claim as well as the building. We provide written findings and photographs with every leak detection job.

FAQ

Leak Detection & Leak Control — frequently asked questions

Can you find a leak without breaking my floor?

Yes. That is the point of electronic leak detection. We locate the leak first with acoustic and line-tracing equipment, then open only the area directly over it.

Do you detect slab leaks?

Yes. Slab leaks are one of the most common calls we take in Miami-Dade, and we handle both the detection and the repair or reroute.

How much does leak detection cost?

We give a free estimate up front. Pricing depends on the size of the property and how much of the system has to be isolated and tested.

Do you find pool and irrigation leaks?

We locate leaks on supply and drain piping including lines serving pool equipment and irrigation. Call us with the details and we will tell you honestly whether it is our scope.

What happens after you find it?

You get the location, photos, an explanation of the cause and a written price to repair it. No obligation to have us do the repair, though most customers do.
