Water Leak Detection in Miami, FL

Water leak detection for older Miami homes, finding and documenting hidden leaks so owners can act on the repair and the insurance notice.

The water bill arrives and it is far higher than last month, yet nobody in the house is using more water. In an older Miami home, that gap is often the first and only sign of a hidden leak: a supply line in a wall, a joint under the slab or a fitting behind a cabinet. Our water leak detection miami service finds where that water is going, maps how far it has spread, and puts the discovery date and readings in writing so you can act on both the repair and the insurance question.

Technician insight

In a Miami house built before 1980, the first sign of a hidden leak is often a water bill that climbs with no change in habits. We locate the leak, map the wet area with readings and photos, and record the discovery date. That record matters, because insurers can treat a slow leak as seepage or maintenance rather than a sudden discharge, and Florida's notice clock runs from the date of loss. We find and document leaks; a plumber repairs them.

+ How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
A water bill that rises with no change in use is the most common first sign. Turn off every fixture and watch the meter; if the reading moves, water is leaving the system. Musty smells, warm spots on the floor or soft baseboards are other clues.
+ Who supplies water to homes in the City of Miami?
The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department serves substantially all of the county, and the City of Miami is not on its list of wholesale water customers, so City of Miami homes are WASD retail customers. That means your bill and meter come from WASD. Check your bill if you are unsure.
+ Do you repair the leak once you find it?
No. We locate and document leaks, then hand you the marked location, readings and photos. A plumber carries out the repair.
+ Does homeowners insurance cover a hidden leak?
The Insurance Information Institute says a sudden burst-pipe discharge is typically covered, while seepage is excluded under the HO-3 policy and treated as maintenance. How your leak is classified depends on your policy and the facts. Check your policy and ask your insurer.
+ Why do older Miami homes have more leaks?
Census figures put Miami's median year built at 1979, with 50.8 percent of homes built before 1980. Many still have original supply and drain lines and fittings in walls and under slabs, which have been in service for decades.
+ How long do I have to report a leak to my insurer in Florida?
Section 627.70132 requires notice of an initial claim within 1 year after the date of loss, and a supplemental claim within 18 months. Record the discovery date and report early.
