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.

Copper Pipe Leak job in Oldsmar

Leaks like this, including pinhole leaks in copper piping, can lead to extensive water damage and even slab leaks if not addressed promptly.

high water bill

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.

Water Meter Showing High

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.

Shocking High Water Bill in Pinellas Park Solved by Expert Leak Detection — No Digging Guesswork

If you live in Pinellas Park or anywhere in Pinellas County, chances are you’ve heard of someone getting slammed with a surprise high water bill. It’s happening more and more often, especially in neighborhoods with older homes or long water lines running underground to houses set back from the road. In this case, a homeowner in Pinellas Park, just blocks away from England Brothers Park, was shocked when their water bill tripled in a single billing cycle. The water department confirmed that something was wrong — their meter was spinning constantly, even with no water running inside the home. But no one could figure out where the leak was. That’s when they called I Find Leaks. The First Sign: A Spinning Meter The water meter was spinning nonstop — a clear sign of a pressurized underground leak. With the meter still moving while all water was turned off in the house, we knew we were dealing with an underground supply line leak. The challenge? The home sat over 100 yards back from the meter, tucked behind a gate, overgrown yard, and tropical landscaping. This wasn’t going to be easy. A Jungle, A Train Car, and a Whole Lot of Ground

🔍 Oldsmar Water Leak Detection: Pinpoint Accuracy Without the Guesswork

When a homeowner in Oldsmar, Florida received a surprisingly high water bill, they knew something wasn’t right. 💧 Instead of guessing or letting a plumber tear through their walls, they contacted I Find Leaks for professional leak detection in Oldsmar. We dispatched our technician Brock to a home located just minutes from Forest Lakes and Cypress Lakes Boulevard.

Leak Inspection vs Leak Detection

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
