Detection & Repair in One Visit, No Second Contractor Needed

American Leak Detection of West Central Florida brings over 40 years of non-invasive leak detection experience to Clermont and the surrounding Lake County area. As The Original Leak Specialist™, we locate and repair sewer line leaks using acoustic sensors and tracer gas systems that pinpoint the source before a single shovel breaks ground. Our operating principle, Leak Detection Without Destruction™, means we protect your property at every step.

Sewer Line Leak Repair is one of the core services we perform for Clermont homeowners and businesses. Our pricing follows a Know Before You Go approach: you understand what the work involves and what it costs before we proceed.

If you’re dealing with sewage odors, soggy patches in the yard, or drains that won’t clear, call us at (352) 397-4059 to schedule a sewer leak detection service in Clermont.

One Team Handles the Full Job

Most diagnostic-only firms locate a leak, hand you a marked floor plan, and leave you to find a plumber. Our approach is different. Once our certified technicians confirm the source of the sewer line leak, we have the capability to execute the repair immediately, managing the entire process from detection through completion. You don’t hand off to a second contractor or coordinate two separate schedules.

The diagnostic findings and report belong to you. If you prefer to direct a third-party plumber using our detection results, that’s your call. We believe customers should have full ownership of the information we produce.

Our technicians arrive on time, complete projects within the agreed time frame, and leave the property clean. A rigorous training program and continuous investment in new detection technologies keep our team among the most skilled in the field. Proprietary techniques developed over four decades help us find leaks that conventional methods can miss.

How We Locate & Fix Sewer Line Leaks

Acoustic sensors detect the sound signatures that escaping fluid creates inside a pressurized or draining line. Tracer gas testing introduces a safe, detectable gas into the pipe; sensors at grade pick up where it surfaces, identifying leaks beneath concrete slabs or in landscaped yards without unnecessary excavation. Together, these tools give us a precise location before any repair work begins.

Once the leak is confirmed, we build a repair plan specific to your property and walk you through it before work starts. The repair method depends on what pipe and site conditions call for.

Trenchless Repair
When pipe access and condition allow it, trenchless techniques rehabilitate the line with minimal disruption to landscaping, driveways, or hardscape.

Traditional Excavation
Where trenchless methods aren’t appropriate, we use targeted excavation, guided by the precise detection work done first, to expose only what needs to be addressed.

Throughout the repair, our technicians keep you informed. No surprises on process, no surprises on scope.

Don’t Let a Sewer Leak Compound

A sewer line leak introduces contaminated water into the surrounding soil, and the damage can spread the longer the source goes undetected, putting your foundation, landscaping, and nearby structure at risk. Early sewer leak detection in Clermont can help limit that exposure.

Signs Your Clermont Property May Have a Sewer Line Leak

Sewer line leaks rarely announce themselves clearly. Because the pipe runs underground, symptoms often appear at the surface long after damage has begun. If you notice any of the following, it’s worth having a sewer leak detection company assess the line.

Common warning signs:

Sewage odors inside the home or near the foundation, often sulfuric and strongest near floor drains
Unexplained wet or spongy areas in the yard, particularly along the path of buried drain lines
Slow or gurgling drains that don’t clear with normal use
Damp, discolored, or soft spots on floors, walls, or ceilings near drain lines
Unusual rodent activity near the foundation or yard, which can follow a sewer line breach
Higher-than-normal water bills without a clear explanation

What Causes Sewer Line Leaks in Clermont Homes

Clermont’s housing stock expanded rapidly in the early 2000s and continued growing through the 2010s. Underground pipe systems installed during that period are now aging, and pipes corrode, shift, and develop weak points under years of use and load. Central Florida’s subtropical climate adds mechanical stress: Lake County’s moisture cycling and soil movement place ongoing pressure on buried plumbing throughout the year, and joints sealed at installation can separate gradually as the ground shifts through seasonal wet and dry cycles.

Root intrusion is another common cause. Trees and landscaping in established Clermont neighborhoods send roots toward moisture sources, and a sewer line running beneath a yard is a reliable one. Root systems can crack pipe walls or block flow entirely, accelerating deterioration at the point of contact.

The City of Clermont coordinates with Lake County to connect eligible properties to the central sanitary sewer system, so most properties within city limits rely on sewer lines rather than septic. That means a failing underground line connects directly to the municipal system, making prompt sewer leak detection and repair important for containing the problem.
