Galvanized Pipe Leak job in St. Petersburg
This image shows a significant underground leak from a galvanized pipe in a homeowner’s yard in St. Petersburg, which resulted in an unexpectedly high water bill. Despite the severity of the leak, there were no visible signs of water pooling in the yard because the sandy Florida soil absorbed all the excess water. 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.

When DIY Fails: How a Hidden Leak in Madeira Beach Turned into a Flooded Mess
Tucked between the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay, Madeira Beach is one of the most scenic spots in Pinellas County. Known for its white sand beaches, iconic John’s Pass Village, and laid-back coastal charm, it’s a dream place to live — until water starts pouring through your hallway. One Madeira Beach homeowner recently faced a situation no one wants: a massive water bill, unexplained flooding, and no clear signs of where the leak was coming from. Their first move? Hire a handyman. Big mistake. Instead of pinpointing the problem, the handyman randomly cut holes in the drywall, hoping to stumble upon the leak. What he left behind looked more like demo day on a renovation show than actual repair work. From Guesswork to Expertise By the time our technician Jeremy arrived on-site, the home was already flooding. The white marble tile floors in the hallway were under a full layer of standing water, and the homeowner had resorted to placing a small floor fan in a desperate attempt to keep up. Jeremy placed a flashlight on the floor to show the reflection — a clear visual of just how deep the flooding was. Water had pooled across the
