We’re a licensed and insured leak detection company based in West Palm Beach, serving Royal Palm Beach homes throughout Crestwood, Counterpoint Estates, Nautica Lakes, and the surrounding Village neighborhoods.

Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed and insured for every job we take on.
Local to Royal Palm Beach
We know the soil, the plumbing ages, and the neighborhoods, because we work in them every week.
Testing First, Never Guessing
You see the confirmed leak location and a real price before any cutting or repair starts.
THE WARNING SIGNS
Six signs you have a hidden leak
Most leaks in Royal Palm Beach homes don’t show themselves. They’re under the slab, inside a wall, or beneath a foot of pool deck concrete. Here’s what usually gives them away. According to EPA WaterSense, the average household leak wastes nearly 10,000 gallons of water a year.
Unexplained water bill spike
Nothing changed at home, but your bill did — the single most common reason people call us.
Running water, all faucets off
Most noticeable at night, when a quiet house makes a pressurized leak easy to hear.
A warm spot on the floor
If a water heater line runs beneath it, this almost always points to a hot-water slab leak.
Cracked flooring or drywall
Moisture trapped under tile or behind a wall breeds mold fast in Florida’s humidity.
Pool losing over ¼″ a day
A little daily evaporation is normal, especially in summer heat — more than that deserves a real test.
Green patch or standing water
Often an irrigation line — less commonly a sewer line — leaking underground.
LOCAL FACTORS
Why Royal Palm Beach homes leak more than most
- SOIL — Sandy soil and the drainage canals built during the village’s 1959 development mean the ground shifts with every heavy rain, and most homes here are slab-on-grade.
- AGE — Housing spans six decades — original 1959 sections through 1980s–90s growth in Crestwood and Counterpoint Estates — so piping age varies block to block.
- WATER — Moderately hard, treated water is standard across this part of Palm Beach County, and it still accelerates internal corrosion and scale buildup in older piping over decades.
- CLIMATE — A long, heavy wet season. June through November brings rising groundwater that pushes harder on pipes already under strain.

HOW WE FIND IT
Professional leak detection methods
No single method finds every leak. We choose the right combination based on what you’re describing and what the equipment tells us once we’re on site.
| Method | Best For | What It Detects | Invasive? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acoustic Leak Detection | Slab and underground supply line leaks | The sound of pressurized water escaping a pipe | No |
| Thermal Imaging | Hot-water slab leaks, wall moisture | Temperature differences caused by escaping water | No |
| Pressure Testing | Isolating which line or section is leaking | A pressure drop in a specific plumbing section | No |
| Electronic Leak Detection | Pool shells and pond liners | Electrical current escaping through a leak point | No |
| Dye Testing | Pool skimmers, drains, visible fittings | The exact point water is being pulled through | No |
| Camera Inspection | Sewer and drain lines, especially older pipe | Cracks, blockages, and pipe condition inside the line | Minimal (access point only) |
| Moisture Detection | Wall and ceiling leaks | Elevated moisture levels behind drywall or flooring | No |

REAL PROJECTS
Leak detection results
A simple look at how a hidden leak goes from unknown to found. Photos below are placeholders until project-specific images are added.
Hidden Slab Leak
Problem: Homeowner noticed a warm spot on the tile and a rising water bill. Detection: Acoustic listening and thermal imaging. Found: A pinhole leak in a hot-water line beneath the slab. Result: Leak marked precisely, no exploratory demolition needed.
Wet Interior Wall
Problem: Staining and a musty smell appeared along a lower wall. Detection: Moisture detection and thermal imaging. Found: A slow leak from a supply line inside the wall cavity. Result: Leak location marked for the smallest possible repair access.
Pool Water Loss
Problem: Pool was losing noticeably more water than the bucket test accounted for. Detection: Pressure and dye testing. Found: A separated skimmer fitting below the waterline. Result: Exact fitting identified without draining the pool.
Example project types shown for illustration. Photos and project-specific details will be added as documentation becomes available.
IN PRACTICE
Real leak detection case studies
A closer look at how symptoms turn into a confirmed leak location. These examples reflect the kinds of cases we see regularly in these neighborhoods and walk through the process end to end, not client testimonials.
NAUTICA LAKES · HOA SHARED IRRIGATION LEAK
A rising shared irrigation bill
Problem: An HOA board noticed a jump in the community’s shared irrigation water bill without any watering schedule change.
Symptoms: A rising shared irrigation bill, one persistently soggy common-area lawn section, sprinkler heads working normally.
Testing: Pressure testing on the shared irrigation main, then acoustic listening to trace the buried line under the common area.
Finding: A split in the main irrigation line beneath a common-area walkway, before it branched to individual zones.
Result: The HOA received a documented finding it could use to get a fair repair quote instead of guessing at zone-by-zone digging.
CRESTWOOD · SLAB LEAK IN AN ORIGINAL 1959 SECTION
A warm spot in a living room floor
Problem: A homeowner in one of the village’s original 1959-built sections noticed a warm spot on the living room floor.
Symptoms: Warm flooring, a water bill that crept up over a few months, no visible water.
Testing: A meter check and pressure test isolated the hot water line, then acoustic and thermal imaging pinpointed the spot.
Finding: A pinhole leak in original 1959 copper piping beneath the slab.
Result: The leak was marked to within about two feet, with a firm quote given before any flooring was disturbed.
COUNTERPOINT ESTATES · POOL DECK LEAK
New cracking alongside a slow water loss
Problem: A homeowner noticed cracking appearing in the pool deck alongside a slow but steady drop in water level.
Symptoms: New hairline cracks in the deck, water loss beyond normal evaporation, no visible cracks in the pool wall itself.
Testing: Pressure testing on the plumbing beneath the deck, followed by dye testing at visible fittings.
Finding: A cracked return line running beneath the deck, unrelated to the surface cracking, which was a separate settling issue.
Result: The plumbing leak was isolated and marked separately from the cosmetic deck cracks, so the homeowner didn’t pay to fix the wrong problem.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Why does Royal Palm Beach see so many slab leaks specifically?
Housing here spans six decades, from the original 1959 village sections through 1980s–90s growth in Crestwood and Counterpoint Estates, so piping age varies block to block. Sandy soil and the village’s drainage canals also mean the ground shifts with nearly every heavy rain, which is the other half of why slab leaks are common.
Do older 1959-era sections need different testing than newer neighborhoods?
Generally yes — original piping from the village’s 1959 founding has had more time to develop pinhole leaks than plumbing in 1980s and 90s sections, so we usually start acoustic and thermal testing with the home’s age in mind.
Are Nautica Lakes and other HOA communities prone to shared irrigation leaks?
HOA-maintained common areas often run shared irrigation mains feeding multiple properties, so a leak before it branches to individual zones can raise the community’s shared water bill without any single homeowner noticing a change.
Does Royal Palm Beach’s treated water affect older pipes?
Moderately hard, treated water is standard across this part of Palm Beach County, and like anywhere, decades of that mineral content accelerate internal corrosion and scale buildup in older piping.
What zip codes does Royal Palm Beach service cover?
We serve 33411, 33414, and 33470, from the original village sections near Royal Palm Beach Boulevard out toward Loxahatchee Groves and The Acreage. For questions outside these topics, see our full FAQ on the homepage.
