Stop Hidden Leaks Before the Damage Spreads

Leak detection services for homeowners in Longwood, Florida and surrounding areas.

When your water bill jumps without explanation or you notice damp spots on walls and ceilings, there's usually a hidden leak somewhere in your Longwood and surrounding areas home that hasn't surfaced yet. Godwin Plumbing locates leaks in slab, wall, and underground plumbing systems before they cause structural damage, mold growth, or costly flooring repairs. Fast action prevents small leaks from becoming major problems that require extensive restoration work.


Leak detection work involves methodical testing to isolate the source of water loss. This includes checking water meter activity when all fixtures are off, inspecting exposed piping for corrosion or moisture, testing pressure at different points in the system, and using hands-on techniques to trace leaks hidden behind walls or under slabs. In older homes and renovated properties, leak detection is especially important because mixed pipe materials and aging joints often develop slow leaks that go unnoticed until damage becomes visible.


If you suspect a leak in your Longwoodand surrounding areas home, reach out quickly to schedule a leak detection visit.

How Leaks Are Located and Confirmed

Leak detection begins with a review of your water usage and visible symptoms in your Longwood and surrounding areas home. Godwin Plumbing checks your water meter for continuous movement when all faucets and appliances are turned off, which indicates an active leak somewhere in the system. From there, testing focuses on isolating the leak by inspecting accessible piping, checking pressure at key points, and tracing water paths through walls, floors, and ceilings.


Once the leak is located, you'll receive a clear explanation of where it is, what caused it, and what needs to be repaired. After the repair is complete, your water bill returns to normal, moisture spots stop spreading, and your home's plumbing system holds pressure without constant water loss.


Leak detection work is designed to minimize unnecessary demolition while accurately pinpointing the source. Repairs are made with durable materials and methods that address the underlying issue, whether it's a corroded fitting, cracked pipe, or failed joint. The goal is to stop the leak and prevent it from recurring in the same area.

What People Ask About Finding Leaks

Most homeowners want to understand how hidden leaks are found and what to expect during the detection process. These are the questions Godwin Plumbing hears regularly from people dealing with unexplained water loss or moisture issues in Longwood and surrounding areas.

What are common signs of a hidden plumbing leak?
Common signs include a sudden increase in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, low water pressure, unexplained moisture around fixtures, or the sound of running water when nothing is in use. Your water meter may also show continuous movement when all water is turned off.
How do you locate a leak that's hidden behind a wall or under the floor?
Godwin Plumbing uses pressure testing, visual inspection of accessible piping, and methodical tracing of water paths to isolate the leak. When needed, small access openings are made to confirm the exact location before beginning repairs.
Why is leak detection important in older homes?
Older homes often have mixed pipe materials, corroded fittings, and joints that weaken over time. Leak detection catches these issues before they cause extensive water damage to flooring, drywall, and structural components.
How long does a leak detection visit take?

Most leak detection visits in Longwood and surrounding areas take one to three hours depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and how easily the leak can be isolated. You'll receive a full explanation and repair recommendation once the leak is located.

What happens if a leak isn't found and repaired quickly?
Unrepaired leaks lead to structural damage, mold growth, ruined flooring, and inflated water bills. In slab leaks, prolonged water exposure can undermine your home's foundation and require expensive restoration work beyond just plumbing repairs.
