Leak Detection across Greater Orlando
Slab foundations are standard in most Central Florida homes, so suspected slab leaks are a common reason Orlando-area homeowners request leak detection.
Signs of a hidden leak
- Water bill higher than usual with no change in use
- Water meter moving when all fixtures are off
- Warm spots on floors (possible hot water slab leak)
- Damp drywall, musty odors or mold
- Low water pressure or the sound of running water
How leaks are found
- Meter and pressure testing
- Acoustic listening equipment
- Thermal imaging cameras
- Moisture meters
- Line isolation to narrow down the location
Try a simple meter test: turn off all water fixtures and appliances, note the meter reading, wait an hour and check again. Movement may indicate a leak. Know where your main shut-off valve is in case you need to stop the water quickly.

Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
