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.

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.

Leak Inspection $150? What Homeowners Need to Know Before Saying Yes
A Leak Inspection Is Not a Leak Detection There’s a big difference between a true leak detection and a so-called leak inspection. Companies advertising cut-rate inspections often aren’t looking to find your leak—they’re trying to get their foot in the door. Once inside, their goal isn’t to solve the problem, but to upsell dry-out and mold remediation services, often billing your insurance company for thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars. How the $150 Leak Inspection Trick Works A former dispatcher from one such company revealed their strategy: get in cheap, make big money on the back end, and if customers complain, offer discounts in exchange for glowing 5-star reviews. These tactics mislead homeowners and distort the online reputation of companies engaging in this behavior. Real Leak Detection Is About Accuracy, Not Upselling At I Find Leaks, we don’t play games. We’re a local Clearwater-based company that performs real leak detection—not bait-and-switch inspections. Our job is to find the exact source of your leak so you can get it repaired quickly and accurately. We do not perform remediation work. We don’t upsell. And we will never ask you to sign an Assignment of Benefits (AOB)—a legally binding document that
Clearwater Slab Leak Detection: Precision, Care, and Results You Can Trust
At I Find Leaks, we treat every slab leak detection job like a work of art—because that’s exactly what it is. Pinpointing a hidden leak under concrete without unnecessary damage takes experience, precision, and the right tools. Recently, our technician Brock showcased all three on a real slab leak detection job in Clearwater, Florida. Step 1: Infrared Camera Scanning Our process began with a thermal imaging scan to get a general idea of the leak’s location. The infrared camera captured subtle heat variations in the flooring—a possible sign of hot water leaking beneath the slab. Brock used this visual data to eliminate large areas and start narrowing in on the source. Step 2: Zeroing In with Ultrasonic Leak Detection After isolating the general area, Brock focused on the kitchen, where a beautiful mosaic tile pattern was embedded in the floor. Using an ultrasonic listening device, he listened to the different frequencies of water movement under the slab. The stove was carefully moved, and a promising area was identified based on the sound of pressurized water beneath the surface. Step 3: Precision Jackhammering with Dust Control With only six spare tiles available, accuracy and care were non-negotiable. Brock employed a tried-and-true
Dunedin Leak Detection: Save Money with One Accurate Cut
When a leak appears in your home, your first call can make all the difference. In this Dunedin home, that first call went to a plumber — and it set off a chain of unnecessary damage. By the time I Find Leaks was brought in, the home had multiple holes in the drywall, and still, the leak hadn’t been found. This is exactly why Dunedin leak detection should always come first. This post walks you through what happened, how we found the real source of the problem, and why hiring a professional leak detection specialist is the smartest move you can make. Multiple Holes — Zero Results Jeremy, one of our expert technicians, arrived to find two large holes cut into the garage drywall — one above and one below the water heater. Two industrial fans had also been set up. But the garage wasn’t even climate controlled, and worse — it wasn’t where the leak was. The plumber and restoration company had guessed wrong, leaving behind needless damage and still no solution. Misguided Work in the Kids’ Room In a child’s bedroom, a hole had been cut into the closet wall, and water was pooled on the floor. Still,
Water Leak Clearwater: Hidden Leak Found on the Opposite Side of the Home
When Clearwater homeowners noticed water pooling at the front of their house, they naturally assumed the leak must be nearby. But what if we told you the actual water leak was on the back side of the home—several rooms away? This real-world case highlights why professional leak detection services are essential and how tools like infrared cameras and ultrasonic listening devices can save your home from being torn apart. At I Find Leaks, we were called in to solve this mystery. Tyler, one of our expert technicians, uncovered the source of the issue with surgical precision—no guesswork, no unnecessary holes, and no costly damage. Here’s how the process unfolded. 1. No Visible Clues Outside The first clue we examined was the hose bibb on the back of the house. At first glance, everything looked completely normal—no signs of water, damage, or concern. It’s the kind of image you’d scroll right past, but that’s exactly what makes Clearwater water leaks so dangerous: the damage can be extensive without any surface-level indication. 2. Scanning the Interior—No Visible Moisture We moved inside to check the area behind a toilet, directly opposite the exterior hose bibb. With our FLIR infrared camera, no moisture was
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. That plumber came in with good intentions… but bad tools. He cut open multiple walls in the house looking for the leak. He still didn’t find it. Worse, he left a mess of drywall and insulation behind. A large hole in the wall with drywall and insulation thrown on the floor — this
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
