Why Do Leaks Happen? 

At Pro-Tec Plumbing & Air, our Fort Myers plumbers handle all types of leaks, from bathroom sinks and clogged kitchen drains in residential properties to roof and wall leaks in commercial properties. Whether you’ve noticed a leaky faucet or a persistently dripping shower, every drop could cost you more money. 

That’s why our Pro-Tec experts provide high-quality professional leak detection and repair services in Fort Myers and beyond. Our team uses innovative technology and state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose leaks efficiently and effectively to get to the root of the problem, including Flo by Moen and Watts Leak Defense. 

Leaks can occur for a variety of reasons, such as:  

  • Running toilets: Although leaks caused by running toilets are often easy to fix, they can rack up expenses fast, with slow leaks wasting as much as 30 gallons of water per day. Our plumbers can work quickly to resolve the issue before the price tag gets any higher.
  • Leaky plumbing fixtures: Plumbing fixtures like faucets and showerheads are prone to leaks—and the wasted gallons can add up fast! Call our Pro-Tec experts if you’ve noticed a leaky fixture in your home or business. 
  • Weather changes: Burst pipes are a common cause of leaks. In the wintertime, pipes can burst when water freezes and expands due to temperature changes, leading to unexpected leaks and property damage.
  • Wear and tear: Over time, even the most durable pipes and fixtures can develop small cracks or holes that lead to leaks. Our Pro-Tec professionals have the expertise and tools to identify these issues and provide effective repairs.
  • Root intrusion: Tree roots can sometimes grow into pipes, causing blockages and leaks. Our technicians are skilled at diagnosing and repairing plumbing issues caused by these obstructions to safeguard your property from further damage.

Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak

Being on the lookout for signs of leaks in your home or business can be a real money saver, especially in Florida’s tropical climate. 

Here are some common signs that you might have a leak in your plumbing system: 

  • Unusual increase in water bills: If your water bills have unexpectedly shot up without any significant change in your water usage, it could be a sign of a hidden leak.
  • Low water pressure: A sudden drop in water pressure can indicate a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
  • Damp spots or water stains: Wet spots on floors, ceilings, and walls, as well as discoloration and peeling paint, can signal a leaky pipe.
  • Musty or mildew smells: Persistent musty odors in your property can be a symptom of a lingering water leak.
  • Sound of running water: If you hear running water when all water outlets are turned off, you probably have a leak.
  • Cracks in foundation or walls: Over time, water leaks can cause your home's foundation to crack or walls to warp.
  • Mold or mildew: Excessive moisture from a leak can lead to mold or mildew growth, leading to property damage and serious health hazards.
  • Changes in landscape: If your grass is unusually green in certain areas or you notice wet spots in your yard, you might have an underground leak.

If you notice any of these signs, don't hesitate to contact our leak detection experts at Pro-Tec. We can conduct a thorough inspection, identify any leaks, and provide effective, professional repair services to save your property from potential damage and save you from additional costs.

How Plumbers Find & Fix Water Leaks

Plumbers employ various methods to pinpoint water leaks, especially those hidden in walls or under floors. One common technique is sound detection. By using sensitive listening devices, plumbers can hear the sound of water rushing through pipes or dripping. Another method involves pressure testing. By increasing water pressure in the system and monitoring for pressure loss, plumbers can identify leaks. In some cases, thermal imaging is used. This technology detects temperature variations, which can indicate the presence of a leak. Additionally, dye testing may be employed, where a dye is added to the water supply to help visualize leaks.

What You Should Know About Slab Leaks 

Slab leaks, a type of plumbing issue that occurs beneath the concrete slab of your home or building, can be both costly and disruptive. These leaks often go unnoticed for extended periods due to their hidden location. However, there are signs to look for that may indicate a slab leak, such as:

  • Unexplained water bills: If your water bills have been rising without a corresponding increase in water usage, a slab leak could be the culprit.
  • Soft or sagging floors: Water leaks can weaken the foundation, leading to soft or sagging floors.
  • Musty odors: Water trapped beneath the slab can create a musty odor.
  • Mold or mildew growth: Excess moisture can promote mold and mildew growth, especially in areas with poor ventilation.

Ignoring a slab leak can lead to further damage and costly repairs. If you suspect a slab leak, it's important to contact a professional plumber immediately. Here at Pro-Tec, we use specialized equipment to detect the leak's location and recommend the appropriate repair method.
