Leak Surveys in Oviedo, FL

Non-Invasive Leak Detection with a Documented Report You Own

A Leak Survey from American Leak Detection of Orlando is a structured diagnostic inspection that uses acoustic listening devices, Infrared Thermography, and pressure testing to locate hidden water loss without opening walls or breaking concrete. As the Original Leak Detection Specialists™, we’ve spent more than 40 years refining these methods under our guiding principle, Leak Detection Without Destruction™. The result is a detailed technical report you keep, use to dispute a water utility bill, or hand directly to any repair contractor you choose.

Oviedo, Florida’s mix of older neighborhoods with aging copper pipes and newer subdivisions on shifting soil creates real leak risk year-round. High groundwater levels and persistent humidity push moisture into foundations and walls in ways that aren’t always visible until the damage is significant. A Leak Survey gives you documented evidence of exactly what’s happening before any repair decision is made.

Warning Signs Your Property May Have a Hidden Leak

A sudden jump in your water costs without any change in usage habits is one of the most reliable early indicators of a hidden leak. Persistent musty or mildew odors, particularly after heavy rain, can point to active moisture accumulation somewhere in the structure.

The City of Oviedo’s water meters include a built-in visual leak indicator, and utility technicians can pull consumption history to flag high-usage accounts. What the meter can’t tell you is where the water is going. That’s the gap a professional Leak Survey is designed to close.

Detection Methods Used in Every Survey

We match the diagnostic method to the suspected leak source, and most surveys draw on several techniques in combination:

Slab Leak Detection
Identifies pressurized water escaping beneath concrete foundations. We analyze acoustic frequencies specific to PVC, copper, and PEX lines to pinpoint the rupture location before any concrete is disturbed.

Acoustic Leak Detection
Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping behind walls, under floors, or within service lines. These are areas invisible to a standard visual inspection.

Infrared Thermography
A thermal camera reveals temperature variances caused by hidden moisture pockets. This method is especially effective for locating slow leaks that haven’t yet caused surface damage.

Static Pressure Testing
Confirms whether a plumbing system holds pressure and isolates which section is losing it, narrowing the search area before other instruments are deployed.

Pool Plumbing Integrity Testing
When a pool is connected to the domestic water supply or suspected as the source of water loss, we test the hydraulic integrity of the pool’s plumbing as part of the survey.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

The process begins with a consultation where we listen to your concerns and identify the symptoms you’ve observed. From there, a uniformed, background-checked technician performs a thorough visual inspection to narrow the search area before deploying instruments. Our technicians arrive on time, work within the scheduled time frame, and leave the property clean.

At the end of the appointment, you receive a detailed technical report. The findings belong to you. Use our crew for the repair or take the survey data to any professional you trust. We provide the evidence; you make the repair decision.
