Leak Detection and Repair

People usually call about water stains, a soft or swollen cabinet floor, a meter that keeps running, or damp you cannot explain.

If water or sewage is spreading, call (850) 880-6797 now instead of sending a request. If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility from outside first, then call Beach to Bayou.

The technician checks the symptom, the plumbing that can be reached, the shutoffs, the fixtures, the water meter, and the likely pipe path. Once the source is narrowed down, the repair is planned to open as little wall or floor as possible. A leak suspected under a concrete floor moves to slab leak detection, which works the same way with more attention to where the pipe runs and how to reach it.

The final scope depends on what the technician finds and what can be reached, and you hear the options before any work starts.

Air-conditioning condensation and coastal humidity can look like a plumbing leak, so when the damp shows up, what the meter does, and which fixtures were running all matter. Second homes and rentals in Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, and along 30A often sit empty for weeks, so a local contact who can let the technician in and knows the history shortens the search.

When you call or send a request, mention where the damp shows up, whether the water meter moves with everything off, any recent plumbing work, and any change in water pressure or the water bill.

Before the visit, and only where it is safe to do so, clear a path to the problem area, put pets away, and leave the plumbing assembled until the technician has seen it.
