Leak Detection & Repair Ybor – South Tampa Plumbing Has You Covered

Sometimes, leaks aren’t obvious. While a dripping faucet or a puddle under the sink is easy to spot, other leaks can go unnoticed for months. Here are some red flags that might indicate a hidden plumbing issue:

• Unexplained Increase in Water Bills – A sudden spike in your monthly water bill without any noticeable changes in usage is often a sign of a leak.
• Low Water Pressure – A leak in your system can reduce water flow, making showers and faucets less effective.
• Damp or Discolored Walls, Ceilings, or Floors – Water stains or bubbling paint could mean there’s a leak behind the surface.
• Musty Odors – Persistent dampness creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can lead to musty smells in your home.
• Running Water Sounds When Everything is Off – If you hear water running even when all taps are closed, there may be a hidden leak.
• Soft or Warped Flooring – Water pooling beneath flooring can cause warping, softness, or unexpected damp spots.

If any of these signs sound familiar, don’t ignore them. The longer a leak goes undetected, the worse (and more expensive) the damage can get.

At South Tampa Plumbing, we don’t rely on guesswork. We use advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint problems with precision, eliminating unnecessary destruction to your property.

• Electronic Leak Detection – Using acoustic sensors and thermal imaging, we can locate even the smallest leaks behind walls or beneath concrete.
• Infrared Cameras – These help us detect temperature changes caused by moisture buildup, allowing us to find leaks hidden inside walls or ceilings.
• Hydrostatic Pressure Testing – We test your plumbing system’s pressure to determine if there are hidden leaks affecting water flow.
• Video Camera Inspections – A small, high-definition camera is inserted into your pipes, giving us a real-time view of potential cracks, breaks, or obstructions.

Once we locate the leak, it’s time for repairs. Our team is trained to handle a variety of leaks, from minor pipe drips to major slab leaks that require expert attention.

Pipe Repair & Replacement: Whether it's a pinhole leak in a copper pipe or a burst pipe due to aging materials, we provide efficient repairs or full replacements to prevent further damage.

Slab Leak Repair: Leaks beneath your foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home. We use minimally invasive methods to access and fix slab leaks while keeping property disruption to a minimum.

Faucet & Fixture Leak Repair: Dripping faucets and leaking fixtures waste thousands of gallons of water per year. We repair or replace faulty components to stop the waste and restore efficiency.

Toilet Leak Repair: A running toilet can be a silent money drain. We diagnose and fix flapper, fill valve, or seal issues that might be causing water loss.

Underground & Main Line Leak Repair: Water lines beneath your yard or driveway can develop leaks due to shifting soil or pipe corrosion. Our trenchless repair methods help fix these leaks with minimal disruption to your landscape.
