Infrared Leak Detection in Boca Raton, FL

See Hidden Moisture Before Mold Takes Over

In Boca Raton, water intrusion is a race against time. Between our sudden tropical downpours and the intense humidity carried off the Intracoastal, a small hidden leak can turn into a mold problem in less than 48 hours. You might not see the water yet, but you might notice peeling paint, a musty smell in the AC, or a water bill that doesn't make sense.

At American Leak Detection of The Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast, we specialize in Smart Detection. We provide professional infrared leak detection services that allow us to see through your walls and floors without tearing them down. We use advanced thermal cameras to find the exact spot where water is hiding. This gives you the answers you need to stop the damage fast, without the mess of "exploratory" demolition.

The Boca Raton Challenge: Why Homes Here Trap Water

Building in South Florida is different. Many homes in neighborhoods like Spanish River or near Palmetto Park Road are built with concrete blocks (CBS) and slab foundations. While sturdy, these materials can hold water like a sponge.

Why local leaks are tricky:

• The Humidity Factor: In our climate, a wet spot inside a wall doesn't dry out on its own. It becomes a breeding ground for mold immediately.
• Concrete "Sweating": It can be hard to tell the difference between normal condensation on a slab and a pressurized pipe leak.
• Hidden AC Leaks: In sealed condos, a dripping AC line behind drywall can go unnoticed for months until the baseboards turn black.
• Our Local Promise: We understand these buildings. We know how to tell the difference between a leaky pipe and Florida humidity.

Our Process: Simple, Clean, and Non-Invasive

We know you are worried about your home. Our job is to make this easy for you. We don't come in with sledgehammers; we come in with technology.

• The Scan: Our technician uses a thermal imaging camera to scan your walls and floors. This camera detects tiny temperature differences caused by evaporation.
• The Verification: When we find a "cold spot" (a sign of water), we use a moisture meter to confirm it is actually wet, not just cold.
• The Answers: We show you the images right there on the screen. You see exactly what we see.

The Report: You get a clear summary of where the leak is and how bad it is.

Technology We Use (The "How")

We use specific tools to find the problem without touching your drywall or tile.

• Thermal Imaging: This lets us "see" moisture patterns behind cabinets and under floors.
• Acoustic Listening: We use sensitive microphones to hear the sound of water spraying inside a wall or under a slab.
• Moisture Mapping: We map out exactly how far the water has spread, so you know if you need to dry out just one spot or the whole room.

Phase 2: The Repair Option (Your Choice)

Our main service is finding the leak. Once we show you the report, you are in the driver's seat.

How we handle repairs:

• We Can Fix It: We are licensed professionals. If you want us to repair the pipe or stop the leak in your house or business, we can give you a separate price for that work. We can often get started immediately.

No Pressure: If you want to use your own plumber or handle a minor fix yourself, that is completely fine. Our report gives you the exact location so anyone can fix it easily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the thermal camera see through my walls?

Not exactly "through" like an X-ray, but it detects the temperature changes on the surface of the wall. Wet drywall is cooler than dry drywall. Our cameras see that temperature difference clearly, showing us the shape and location of the leak behind the paint.

Can you find leaks under my tile floor?

Yes. If a pipe is leaking under your slab, the water cools the concrete. Our thermal cameras can often see this cool pattern on the floor. We also use listening devices to hear the water running underground to confirm the spot.

Do I have to fix the leak with you?

No. The detection is a standalone service. You pay us to find the problem and give you the facts. Hiring us to perform the repair is a separate choice, and you are under no obligation.

How much does this cost?

We offer Upfront Pricing. The cost depends on what we are inspecting (a whole house, a single bathroom, or a pool). We will give you a clear price for the inspection when you call.
