Galvanized Pipe Leak job in St. Petersburg

This type of hidden leak can be especially difficult to detect, causing water bills to spike without any noticeable damage. Our team at I Find Leaks specializes in locating these hard-to-detect leaks, using advanced technology.

Did you receive a notice?
In some cities and counties, the water department may leave a blue notice on your door, indicating that your water usage is higher than normal. This is often a sign that a high water bill is on the way. If there’s no visible water inside your home or yard but your bill is unusually high, you may have a hidden slab leak. Slab leaks can be difficult to detect without professional equipment, but our team can help locate the source quickly and efficiently to prevent further damage.
Is Your Water Bill High Due to a Leak?
If your water bill has increased by more than 20% without any significant changes to your routine—such as adjusting your sprinkler system or hosting guests—there’s a strong chance you may have a hidden leak. By comparing your water usage from previous months, you can easily identify unusual spikes on your bill. If you suspect a leak, give us a call, and we’ll quickly help you locate and resolve the issue.
In many cases, our customers in Pinellas County and Hillsborough County can submit forms to their local water authority after a leak is found. Depending on the city, you may be eligible to receive a credit on your water bill to offset the extra charges caused by the leak. However, it’s important to note that the decision to grant a credit lies with the city, and you should follow their specific guidelines. We’re here to assist you in the process and ensure your leak is properly documented for submission.
Check Your Water Meter
One of the first places we check for hidden water leaks is your water meter. If the small red triangle or blue dial is spinning even when no water is being used in your home, this is a clear sign that you have a leak. A common culprit we often find is a running toilet. To check for this, simply remove the tank lid and listen closely near the valve. If you hear a hissing sound, it’s likely the valve needs to be replaced. We can refer a trusted plumbing company that balances both quality and cost.

St Petersburg Water Leak Detection: Why You Should Call Us Before a Plumber Puts Holes in Your Walls
In South St. Petersburg, a homeowner recently learned a painful lesson in leak detection vs plumber decision-making: calling a plumber to find a hidden leak can cost you more in damage than the leak itself. This post documents how I Find Leaks located a leak in this home with zero destruction, using our advanced leak detection equipment — after a plumber cut multiple holes in the walls and still failed to find the source. If you’re searching for St Petersburg water leak detection, here’s why calling us first will save you money, protect your home, and get the job done right the first time. 🔧 What Happened in South St. Pete Jeremy from I Find Leaks arrived at a home in Greater Pinellas Point, near Lakewood Estates, after the homeowner discovered water on the floor and did what many people do — they called a plumber first.

Water Leak Detection in Dunedin: How to Spot, Stop, and Save
Water Leak Detection in Dunedin: How to Spot, Stop, and Save Water leaks in Dunedin homes can cause thousands of dollars in damage—and many go unnoticed until it’s too late. At I Find Leaks, we specialize in non-invasive leak detection, using advanced technology to pinpoint hidden leaks in slabs, walls, and underground plumbing. With over 20 years of experience and 450+ five-star reviews, we are proud to serve homeowners across Dunedin, Florida, and surrounding areas with precision, professionalism, and care. Common Causes of Water Leaks in Dunedin Homes Dunedin has a wide mix of homes—from historic bungalows near Edgewater Drive to newer builds in communities like Fairway Estates, Curlew Landings, and Spanish Trails West. Many older homes were built using copper and galvanized steel pipes, which are now prone to corrosion, pinhole leaks, and slab damage due to age, soil movement, and mineral-rich water. If your home was built between the 1950s and 1980s, it’s likely that it contains original copper piping, which can become brittle and develop hidden leaks under concrete slabs. Modern PVC and PEX pipes are more resistant but still vulnerable at joints, especially if poorly installed. Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak A sudden

Shocking Treasure Island High Water Bills After Hurricanes Helene and Milton: What You Need to Know About Slab Leaks In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, many Treasure Island homeowners have been blindsided by unusually high water bills. While some of these spikes may be due to storm-related infrastructure strain, a growing number of cases point to a hidden but damaging issue: slab leaks beneath homes. How Hurricanes Can Cause Hidden Water Leaks Following major storms like Helene and Milton, city utilities were overwhelmed. In many areas of Pinellas County, including Treasure Island, utility departments struggled to get accurate meter readings and handle billing adjustments. However, beyond utility errors, the hurricanes also caused physical shifts in soil, pipe movement, and pressure fluctuations in plumbing systems—making buried pipes beneath your home more vulnerable to cracking or bursting. One of the most common results? A slab leak—a hidden water leak beneath your concrete foundation. What Is a Slab Leak? A slab leak occurs when a water pipe underneath a home’s concrete slab foundation begins leaking. These leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months, steadily driving up your water bill while causing structural damage to your home. Slab leaks are

Why Your Water Bill is Sky High in Pinellas County (And What Hidden Leaks Might Be to Blame)
Why Your Water Bill is Sky High in Pinellas County (And What Hidden Leaks Might Be to Blame) Unexpectedly high water bills can be more than just an annoyance—they can signal a deeper issue hiding beneath your home, in your yard, or behind your walls. If you’re in Pinellas County—whether you live in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, or Seminole—this guide will help you understand what might be causing the spike and what to do about it. 🚰 Common Reasons for High Water Bills in Pinellas County While an open faucet or faulty irrigation timer is easy to blame, many high bills come from leaks you can’t see.
