WHO WE ARE
A local team that tests before it guesses
We’re a licensed and insured leak detection company based in West Palm Beach, serving Greenacres homes throughout the Melaleuca Lane corridor, Jog Road, Lake Worth Road, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Every visit starts with pressure testing, acoustic listening, or thermal imaging, never a guess-and-cut approach, so you get a confirmed leak location and a real price before any work begins.
Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed and insured for every job we take on.
Local to Greenacres
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 Greenacres 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 Greenacres homes leak more than most
- SOIL — Sandy South Florida soil moves with every heavy rain, and with over 7,300 residents per square mile, homes and plumbing lines sit closer together than almost anywhere nearby.
- AGE — Greenacres has been built out in waves since its 1926 founding, and many townhomes and single-family sections still run largely on piping from their original era of construction.
- WATER — Water here is supplied through Palm Beach County Water Utilities and is moderately hard, which 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 |

Every visit follows the same tested process, from your first call to a confirmed price. See how a leak detection visit works, step by step, on our homepage.
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.
MELALEUCA LANE · SLAB LEAK
A water heater running overtime
Problem: A homeowner near Melaleuca Lane noticed the water heater running more than usual and a warm patch by the utility closet.
Symptoms: A warm patch of flooring near the utility closet, higher-than-usual water heater cycling, a rising bill.
Testing: A meter check isolated the hot water line, then acoustic listening and thermal imaging narrowed the search beneath the slab.
Finding: A pinhole leak in the hot-water line a few feet from the water heater connection.
Result: The leak was marked precisely, and a firm repair quote was given before any tile was opened.
JOG ROAD · MULTI-FAMILY LEAK
A shared wall that stayed damp for weeks
Problem: A duplex owner noticed a musty smell and a damp baseboard along the wall shared with the neighboring unit, with no clear source inside either home.
Symptoms: Persistent musty smell, a slightly warped baseboard, no visible leak inside either unit.
Testing: Acoustic listening along the shared supply line, followed by moisture detection on both sides of the wall to confirm which unit’s plumbing was the source.
Finding: A small leak in a supply line running through the shared wall cavity, traced to one unit’s fixture connection.
Result: The source was confirmed to originate from one specific unit, so repair access and cost responsibility were clear before any wall was opened.
LAKE WORTH ROAD · UNDERGROUND LEAK
A soggy patch that would not dry out for weeks
Problem: A homeowner noticed a section of yard near the water meter that stayed wet for weeks despite dry weather.
Symptoms: A persistently soggy area near the meter, a water bill that climbed steadily, the meter still spinning with the house shut off.
Testing: A meter check confirmed continuous flow, then acoustic listening and ground tracing followed the buried supply line toward the house.
Finding: A split in the main supply line several feet before it entered the home, likely from ground settling.
Result: The break was isolated to a short section and marked for a small, targeted dig instead of trenching the whole yard.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle leak detection and repair in Greenacres?
Detection comes first, because repairing a leak nobody has located is guesswork. Once the source is confirmed, you receive a written summary of the findings and a firm repair quote before anything is opened. You can proceed with us, with a portion of the detection fee applied to the repair, or take the findings to any plumber you prefer.
Why does Greenacres see so many slab leaks specifically?
Greenacres has been built out in waves since its 1926 founding, so many townhome and single-family sections still run largely on piping from their original era of construction. With sandy soil that shifts in heavy rain and over 7,300 residents per square mile, homes and plumbing lines also sit closer together than in most nearby areas.
Are shared walls in townhomes and duplexes a common leak source?
Yes — in attached housing, a leak in one unit’s supply line can show up as dampness on the neighboring side of a shared wall, which is why we test both sides to confirm which unit’s plumbing is actually the source before anyone opens a wall.
Does Greenacres’ dense housing affect how you test for leaks?
With homes and plumbing lines built closer together than in lower-density areas, acoustic testing has to account for sound traveling between adjacent structures, so we cross-check findings with pressure testing to confirm the exact source property.
Does Palm Beach County’s treated water affect older Greenacres pipes?
Water here is supplied through Palm Beach County Water Utilities and is moderately hard, which accelerates internal corrosion and scale buildup in older piping over the decades, same as it does throughout the county.
What zip codes does Greenacres service cover?
We serve 33413, 33415, 33463, and 33467, from the older residential core near Melaleuca Lane out to newer sections along Jog Road, Lake Worth Road, and areas bordering Palm Springs and Wellington. For questions outside these topics, see our full FAQ on the homepage.
