How do you know if you have a hidden leak?
A water bill that climbs for no reason, damp spots on a wall or ceiling, a musty smell, or the sound of running water with every fixture off — those are the classic signs of a hidden leak.

Warning signs
What are the warning signs of a hidden leak?
Most hidden leaks announce themselves long before you ever see water. Catching the signs early is the difference between a pinpoint repair and a soaked slab.
- A water bill that spikes with no change in how you use water.
- Water stains, damp patches, or peeling paint on walls, ceilings, or floors.
- A musty smell, or mold and mildew where it’s normally dry.
- A water meter that keeps spinning with every fixture turned off.

Leak detection questions
Leak detection questions people actually ask.
How much does leak detection cost?
It depends on where the leak is hiding — behind a wall, under a slab, or underground — and how much pipe is affected once it’s found. Estimates are free, pricing is upfront before any work starts, and financing options are available — call (561) 448-3200 for today’s pricing.
Can a leak exist without visible water?
Yes. Leaks under slabs, underground, or inside walls can run for months without a visible drop. A rising water bill, a musty smell, or a water meter that spins with every fixture off are often the only clues.
How does Flamingo detect hidden leaks?
With acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, and ground-penetrating radar — non-invasive methods that pinpoint the leak without unnecessary damage to your walls, floors, or landscaping.
Can a small leak really raise my water bill?
Yes — even minor leaks can lead to a substantial increase in your water bill over time. The sooner a leak is found, the less it costs in wasted water and repairs.
Do you repair the leak after you find it?
Yes. We repair or replace the affected line, fixture, or component, with upfront pricing and at least a one-year guarantee on every job (CFC1426338, FPC17-000046).
Do you offer emergency leak detection?
