Fast, Reliable, and Expert Service When You Need It Most
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks—those sneaky little troublemakers—can creep up on you when you least expect it. Whether it’s a slow drip from the ceiling or a mysterious spike in your water bill, leaks can be downright frustrating (and expensive) if you don’t handle them quickly. That’s where Sun Lakes Plumber Company comes in. We’re your local plumbing pros, and we know a thing or two about finding and fixing leaks before they turn into full-blown disasters.
But here’s the kicker: detecting a leak isn’t always easy. Sometimes it’s hiding behind the walls or under the slab, just waiting to cause trouble. That’s why you need an expert team with the right tools, experience, and—let’s be honest—a bit of plumbing magic to track down and repair those pesky leaks.
Why Leak Detection Matters - More Than You Think
Leaks aren’t just about wasted water. A hidden leak can cause serious damage to your home’s structure, lead to mold growth, and even weaken your foundation over time. The longer you wait, the worse (and more expensive) it gets.
At Sun Lakes Plumber Company, we use advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint the problem—without tearing up your walls or floors. Whether it’s a slab leak, a burst pipe, or a slow drip from a fixture, we’ll find it and fix it fast.
- What We Do
Our Leak Detection and Repair Services Include:
Slab Leak Detection and Repair
Slab leaks are sneaky troublemakers that can cause serious damage if left unchecked. These leaks happen when the pipes running beneath your home’s concrete foundation develop cracks or wear down over time. Signs like mysterious water stains, damp spots on the floor, or an unexpected spike in your water bill might point to a slab leak. Our team uses advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint the exact location of the leak without tearing up your floors.
Wall and Ceiling Leak Detection
Noticed water stains creeping across your ceiling or walls? That could be a sign of a hidden leak behind your drywall. Left untreated, wall and ceiling leaks can lead to mold, structural damage, and peeling paint. Our expert plumbers use state-of-the-art moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect even the most well-hidden leaks. We’ll carefully locate the source, minimize damage to your walls or ceilings, and make the necessary repairs quickly and efficiently.
Pipe Leaks (Indoor and Outdoor)
Pipe leaks can happen anywhere in your walls, under your floors, or even outside in your yard. Dripping sounds, low water pressure, or soggy spots in your lawn could all point to a pipe leak. Our experienced plumbers know how to track down leaks quickly using advanced diagnostic tools. Whether it’s a minor pinhole leak or a major burst, we’ll handle the repairs with precision and care. We’ll also inspect the surrounding area to prevent future leaks.
Water Heater Leaks
A leaking water heater isn’t just annoying it can lead to serious water damage and even increase your energy bills. If you notice water pooling around the base of your water heater, strange noises, or inconsistent hot water, you might have a leak. Our skilled plumbers will inspect your water heater, check for worn-out valves or corroded tanks, and make the necessary repairs. If a replacement is needed, we’ll help you choose the best model for your home and budget. Don’t let a leaky water heater leave you in the cold—give us a call!
Fixture and Faucet Leaks
That constant drip from your faucet isn’t just irritating—it’s wasting water and increasing your bill! Leaky fixtures and faucets are often caused by worn-out washers, loose connections, or internal corrosion. Our team will quickly diagnose the problem and repair or replace the faulty parts to stop the drip for good. We handle kitchen sinks, bathroom faucets, showerheads, and more. A small fix now can save you from bigger plumbing issues down the road.

Fast, Reliable Help for Urgent Plumbing Issues
Key Benefits of Our Leak Detection and Repair Services
Protect Your Home from Structural Damage
Water might seem harmless at first, but it has a sneaky way of creeping into places it shouldn’t like your home’s foundation, walls, and floors. A small, unnoticed leak can slowly weaken the structure of your home, causing cracks, rot, and even foundation shifts.
Save Money on Water Bills
It’s easy to ignore a small leak, but did you know that even a minor drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month? That’s money quite literally going down the drain. The longer a leak goes unfixed, the more water and cash you’re losing.
Prevent Mold and Mildew
Leaks and damp areas create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow—and once they take hold, they’re tough to eliminate. Mold doesn’t just smell bad and look gross; it can also trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems. If left untreated, mold can spread through your walls and floors, creating an unhealthy living environment.
Avoid Expensive Repairs Down the Line
A tiny leak might seem like no big deal, but over time, it can lead to costly damage. Water can weaken drywall, damage wood framing, and even corrode metal pipes. What starts as a simple repair could spiral into a major renovation if ignored. Fixing leaks early saves you from expensive repairs and the stress that comes with them.
Peace of Mind
There’s nothing worse than the nagging feeling that something’s wrong with your home’s plumbing. A hidden leak can create stress and uncertainty but it doesn’t have to. When you know your home is leak-free and your water bill is under control, you can breathe easy. Our experienced team handles the hard work for you, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected plumbing disasters.
