Fast, Reliable, 24/7 Response
Leak Detection Services
Our advanced technology pinpoints hidden leaks fast, preventing water damage and mold growth.
Stop the Damage Before It Starts
Water doesn’t have to be visible to be destructive. Hidden leaks inside walls, beneath floors, and under slabs can silently cause thousands of dollars in structural damage and create the conditions for mold growth long before a homeowner or property manager notices anything wrong. United Restoration’s leak detection specialists use advanced moisture mapping and non-invasive detection technology to find the source of the problem fast, with minimal disruption to your property.
What Is Professional Leak Detection?
Professional leak detection is the process of using specialized equipment to locate hidden water intrusion points that are not visible to the naked eye. Unlike tearing open walls to search for a leak, our non-invasive approach uses thermal imaging, moisture meters, and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint the exact source of a leak before any work begins.
This approach saves time, reduces repair costs, and ensures the underlying problem is actually addressed rather than just the visible symptoms.
Why Early Detection Matters
The longer a leak goes undetected, the more damage it causes. What begins as a small pinhole in a pipe can, over weeks or months, lead to rotted framing, compromised drywall, mold colonization, and in some cases, significant structural damage. Insurance claims grow with the damage. Early detection protects your property, your budget, and your health.
If a hidden leak has already caused water damage, United Restoration’s water damage restoration team is ready to begin immediately.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Hidden leaks are often detectable long before they become visible. Your property gives off signals, some obvious, some easy to dismiss as something else, that point to water moving where it shouldn’t be. If any of the following sound familiar, it’s worth having a professional take a look before the damage gets ahead of you.
If you’re seeing one or more of these signs, don’t wait for confirmation. By the time a hidden leak becomes impossible to ignore, the damage it has caused is already significant. Call United Restoration for a professional leak detection assessment. We’ll find the source before it finds you.
All inspections are performed by IICRC-certified technicians
Leak Detection for Residential and Commercial Properties
Water doesn’t discriminate by property type, and neither does the damage it causes when a leak goes undetected. Whether you own a single-family home, manage a multi-tenant commercial building, or operate a facility where water intrusion creates compliance or liability concerns, the need for fast, accurate leak detection is the same across the board. We provide leak detection services for all property types across Florida, including:
Whatever the property type, United Restoration has the equipment, certifications, and experience to find what’s hidden and get ahead of the damage.
Florida’s Trusted Leak Detection Specialists
Our Leak Detection Process
Finding a hidden leak isn’t guesswork; it’s a methodical process that uses the right technology in the right sequence to pinpoint the exact location of the problem before any work begins. Our approach is non-invasive by design, meaning we locate the source without unnecessary demolition, and we document everything so you have a clear picture of what’s happening inside your property.
Property Inspection
Our technicians begin with a visual inspection of the property to identify any obvious signs of water intrusion and to determine where testing should be focused.
Thermal Imaging and Moisture Mapping
We use infrared thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differentials behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings that indicate the presence of moisture. Moisture meters are used to confirm and document findings.
Acoustic Leak Detection
For pressurized pipes, we use acoustic listening devices that can detect the sound of water escaping through cracks or joints, even beneath concrete slabs.
Full Report and Findings
We provide a clear, documented report of our findings, including moisture readings, the suspected leak location, and recommended next steps.
Coordination with Water Damage Restoration
If the leak has already caused water damage, we coordinate directly with our water damage restoration team to begin mitigation immediately. Finding the leak is only the first step, what follows is just as important.
