ORLANDO LEAK DETECTION
Protect Your Home, Call Brownie’s Septic & Plumbing Today
Plumbing leaks can be devastating. Even a slow, small drip that seems inconsequential can slowly cause tremendous damage to your home that can be expensive and time-consuming to repair.
Likewise, if you leave a leak unrepaired, the problem will typically only get worse. Leaks grow and expand when not cared for properly, and that can lead to both you and your home suffering the consequences of hesitating.
But what if you don’t know where a leak is? What if you don’t know if you have a leak at all? The team at Brownie’s Septic & Plumbing can help with an Orlando leak detection service.
How Does Electronic Leak Detection Work?
Electronic leak detection may sound like space-age or complex technology, and to a certain extent it is. However, the principle that this tech works on is actually remarkably simple.
What is one of the most annoying parts of a leaking faucet or fixture? For most people, the answer is the sound. A leaking faucet releases a constant steady drip. While the drip may not be loud, it’s loud enough to catch your ear and get on your nerves to the point where you simply need to take action.
Electronic leak detection uses sound to locate leaks wherever they might be, only we use a much, much softer level of sound that’s inaudible to the human ear without assisted listening devices.
These specialized tools are actually ultra-sensitive microphones that pick up on the tiniest sounds of water dropping and amplify it hundreds or even thousands of times so our Orlando electronic leak detection pros can pick it up and track it down to its exact location.

Our Thorough Leak Detection Process
The process starts with a full walkaround of your property, including any outdoor plumbing fixtures like water spigots and irrigation systems that could be the source of your leak.
From there, our Orlando plumbing experts go into your garage and inspect any plumbing lines and piping that might run outside your walls, across the ceiling, or even in your attic (if access is available).
We also look for any signs of previous repairs with slab plumbing lines and test them for leaks.
Finally, we check indoor plumbing lines, including all exposed faucet lines, toilet fixtures, and even your showers and bathtubs as well.
We Can Locate Leaks in All of the Following Locations:
What Are The Signs of a Hidden Leak?
Hidden leaks can cause significant damage if not detected and addressed promptly.
Recognizing the signs of a hidden leak is crucial to prevent water damage, mold growth, and other related issues.
Here are some common signs of a hidden water leak:
- Unexplained Increase in Water Bills: One of the most apparent signs of a hidden water leak is a sudden and unexplained increase in your water bills. If your water usage hasn't changed significantly, but your bills are higher than usual, it could be due to a hidden leak.
- Mold and Mildew Growth: Excess moisture from a hidden leak can lead to mold and mildew growth in walls, ceilings, or floors. Look for discolored or fuzzy patches, especially in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and basements.
- Peeling or Bubbling Paint or Wallpaper: Moisture from a leak can cause paint or wallpaper to peel, bubble, or become discolored. This is often noticeable on walls or ceilings.
- Musty Odors: Hidden leaks can create a musty or earthy smell, especially in enclosed spaces or areas with poor ventilation. This odor is often associated with mold and mildew growth.
- Stains on Walls or Ceilings: Water stains or discoloration on walls or ceilings can indicate a hidden leak. These stains may appear yellow or brown and can spread over time.
- Warped or Buckled Flooring: If you have hardwood, laminate, or vinyl flooring, a hidden water leak can cause it to warp, buckle, or become uneven. Check for any changes in the flooring's appearance.
- Sounds of Running Water: Sometimes, you may hear the sound of running water when no faucets or appliances are in use. This can indicate water flowing through pipes due to a leak.
- Low Water Pressure: A hidden leak can reduce water pressure in your faucets and showerheads. If you notice a sudden decrease in water pressure, it may be a sign of a leak.
- Puddles or Damp Spots: Be on the lookout for unexplained puddles or consistently damp areas in your home, especially in areas where there shouldn't be any moisture.
- Visible Cracks or Damage: Sometimes, a hidden leak can cause structural damage over time, such as cracks in walls, ceilings, or the foundation. Keep an eye out for any unusual damage.
- Fluctuating Water Meter: Turn off all water sources in your home and check your water meter. If it continues to register water usage, even with everything off, it could indicate a leak.
- Hot Spots on Floors: For radiant floor heating systems, a hidden leak can create hot spots on the floor due to hot water escaping from the pipes.
If you suspect a hidden leak based on these signs, it's essential to take action promptly.
Ignoring a hidden leak can lead to more significant damage and increased repair costs.
