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 Precision Meets Chaos: Finding a Slab Leak in a Pinellas County Hoarder Home
If you’ve ever dealt with a high water bill in Pinellas County, you know how frustrating and confusing it can be. But imagine receiving that massive bill… and having to search for a hidden slab leak inside a home packed floor-to-ceiling with clutter. That’s exactly what Sonny from I Find Leaks faced when he pulled up to a seemingly ordinary home in Pinellas County—only to discover a hoarder house that pushed leak detection to its limits. Whether you’re in Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, East Lake Woodlands, Dunedin, Clearwater, or Safety Harbor, one thing is true: leaks can happen anywhere—and they don’t care how easy your home is to navigate. The First Glimpse of Mayhem Sonny arrived on-site and was immediately met with the first obstacle: the garage. It wasn’t just messy—it was impassable. Boxes were stacked so high they were literally sitting on top of a Harley nicknamed Big Daddy. Bikes hung from the ceiling, and cabinets were blocked off. If this was the garage, what was waiting inside? Navigating a Hoarder’s Maze Walking into the house only confirmed what Sonny suspected—it wasn’t just cluttered. It was extreme. Vacuum cleaners, elephant statues, ironing boards, fans, and towers of boxes lined
Tampa High Water Bill? Here’s How a Hidden Slab Leak Was Driving Up Utility Costs
When a Tampa homeowner in the Westchase area received a shocking utility bill, they knew something was wrong. Their normal water usage hadn’t changed, but the bill had more than doubled. No toilets were running, no faucets left dripping, and the irrigation schedule hadn’t been touched. Like many residents in neighborhoods stretching from Citrus Park to Carrollwood, they were stuck wondering: Why is my Tampa water bill so high? That’s where we come in. At I Find Leaks, we specialize in helping homeowners solve exactly these kinds of mysteries. With advanced slab leak detection tools and years of local experience across Tampa Bay, our team investigates the unseen problems that can cost you thousands if left unresolved. We started our investigation outside the home. Water was bubbling up through cracks in the driveway, right near the garage—an early warning sign of trouble underground. As we moved in closer, we noticed water also escaping from beneath the brick fascia between two garage doors. This confirmed that water was migrating along the slab toward the home’s foundation. We found water actively seeping through a floor crack under a set of bicycles—and more water streaming from behind the dry storage shelving. Stepping back
Westchase Leak Detection: How We Tracked a Hidden Copper Pipe Leak Across Multiple Rooms
If you live in Westchase and recently noticed water on your garage floor, a soft spot in your carpet, or a spike in your Hillsborough County water bill, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining things. Leak detection in Westchase, Florida, can be tricky, especially in neighborhoods like The Bridges, Radcliffe, Saville Rowe, and Woodbay, where many homes were built with copper piping and have water heaters tucked into garages and laundry rooms. This case study comes straight from one of those Westchase neighborhoods and shows just how deceptive a leak can be—proving that just because water appears in one area doesn’t mean the leak is there. It Started With a Puddle in the Garage The homeowner noticed water pooling on the floor of their garage near the water heater, just behind an aluminum ladder and storage bin. The water looked fresh, but there were no visible signs of damage on the heater itself. In neighborhoods governed by the Westchase Community Association, where appearance rules are strict and maintenance issues can escalate fast, a mystery puddle like this creates immediate stress. Was it a plumbing failure? Slab leak? Condensation? The homeowner wasn’t sure—but their water bill told a different story. If
Pinellas County’s Hidden Problem: Sewer Odors and Rodents in Your Home
“What’s that smell?” It’s the question no homeowner wants to ask—and if you live in Pinellas County, it might be more than just a nuisance. In a recent case in Clearwater, a persistent sewer odor wasn’t just irritating—it was a sign of something far more serious: a rodent infestation coming directly from the home’s plumbing system. This is a story you need to see to believe. We began this job using our industrial-grade Hurco smoke tester, a safe and EPA-approved tool that pushes dense smoke through the sewer system. With roof access available, we ran a long hose up from the sidewalk and started filling the plumbing lines with smoke. This is the only way to locate hidden openings that cause sewer gas odors—and in some cases, reveal how rodents are entering the home. Once the machine was running, we quickly saw smoke emerging from one of the plumbing stacks on the roof. This told us the system was filling up and functioning properly for testing. Then, we moved to the opposite side of the house and spotted smoke rising from a second stack. That confirmed the entire sewer system—from front to back, and left to right—was completely filled. This
How We Tracked Down a Hidden Sewer Odor in Clearwater, Florida—And What It Means for Your Home
It started like so many calls we get in Clearwater: “My house smells like sewage, but no one can find where it’s coming from.” This homeowner in the Old Bay District had tried everything—plumbers, air fresheners, even replacing a toilet. But the foul smell kept creeping back. That’s when they called I Find Leaks. Our technician, Tyler, arrived with a hunch: this wasn’t a simple issue. It was time for sewer smoke testing—a method that uses safe, pressurized smoke to track down hidden leaks in a home’s sewer gas system. It’s a powerful tool, especially in older Clearwater neighborhoods with aging plumbing systems. Using our commercial-grade Hurco smoke machine, Tyler began introducing environmentally safe smoke into the home’s sewer lines. Within minutes, he confirmed full system saturation. From the rooftop, you could see smoke pouring from the vent stacks—a sign the system was pressurized and ready to reveal its secrets. That’s when Tyler went back inside. He crouched down with a flashlight near the toilet and spotted it—thin wisps of smoke leaking from the base of the toilet. Most people wouldn’t see it. You wouldn’t smell it. But that small leak was enough to let sewer gas enter the home.
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
