Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair in Broward County
Electronic and acoustic leak detection finds hidden leaks in walls, ceilings and under the slab without tearing up your home.
Most South Florida homes sit on concrete slabs, which means many water lines run under the floor where you can't see them. A small leak down there can run for months, raising your water bill, feeding mold and undermining flooring before anyone notices.
JetStream Plumbers uses acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks precisely, so we open only the spot that needs repair instead of guessing.
Signs You Need Leak Detection & Repair

- Cracked tile, lifting wood floors or damp carpet
- Musty smells or mold on baseboards
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Stains on ceilings or drywall

How It Works
Confirm the leak
We check the meter and pressure-test the system to confirm there is a leak and which line it's on.
Pinpoint it
Acoustic and thermal tools narrow the leak to a small area, often within a few feet.
Recommend a fix
We explain the options, such as direct spot repair, rerouting the line through walls or attic, or repiping, with prices for each.
Repair and retest
After the repair we pressure-test again to confirm the system is tight.
What Does Leak Detection & Repair Cost?
Leak detection is priced as its own visit. Repair cost depends on the leak location and the fix you choose: a spot repair through the slab, a reroute that bypasses the slab, or a partial or full repipe when the pipes are failing in several places.
Plumber's Tips
- Turn off every fixture and watch the meter's leak indicator for 15 minutes. If it moves, you likely have a leak.
- Keep receipts and photos if water damage is involved; they help with insurance.
- Repeated slab leaks in the same home usually mean the pipe itself is wearing out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak under the slab?
We combine pressure testing to isolate the line with acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate the leak before we open anything.
Is it better to repair a slab leak or reroute the pipe?
It depends on the pipe's condition and where the leak is. A single leak in otherwise sound pipe is often spot-repaired; older pipe with multiple leaks is usually better rerouted or replaced. We'll show you both prices.
Will homeowners insurance cover a slab leak?
Many policies cover access and resulting damage but not the pipe itself. Check your policy; we can provide documentation for your claim.
How long does leak detection take?
Most residential leak detection visits take one to three hours depending on the home's size and layout.
