About This Service
Hidden water leaks can silently destroy your home — rotting framing, fueling mold growth, and driving up your water bill month after month. Cool Rays Air Conditioning & Plumbing uses advanced electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint leaks behind walls, beneath concrete slabs, and underground without tearing apart your property. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to locate the exact source of the problem quickly and accurately, so repairs can be targeted and minimally invasive. If you've noticed unexplained water bill increases, damp spots, or the sound of running water when nothing is on, call us before the damage spreads.

Warning Signs of Hidden Leaks
Many homeowners don’t realize they have a leak until significant damage has already occurred. Watch for these red flags: unexplained increases in your monthly water bill, the sound of running water when every faucet and appliance is off, damp or soft spots on walls and ceilings, warped or buckled flooring, musty smells in cabinets or closed spaces, and warm spots on concrete floors that could indicate a hot water slab leak. Foundation cracks that appear suddenly can also point to underground water movement eroding soil beneath your home. If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait — early detection saves thousands in repair costs.
Why Professional Detection Matters
Store-bought moisture meters and visual inspections only scratch the surface. Many leaks occur deep inside wall cavities, beneath concrete slabs, or in underground supply lines where they’re completely invisible to the naked eye. Professional electronic leak detection uses acoustic amplification to hear water escaping through pipe walls, thermal imaging to map temperature variations caused by moisture, and isolated pressure testing to confirm exactly which line is compromised. This precision means we can pinpoint the leak to within inches, allowing for targeted repairs instead of guesswork and unnecessary demolition. In Central Florida’s humid climate, where background moisture levels are already high, professional-grade equipment is essential to distinguish a true leak from normal condensation.
What Happens After We Find the Leak
Once we’ve located the source, we walk you through your repair options with clear pricing before any work begins. Minor leaks in accessible copper or PEX lines can often be repaired on the same visit. Slab leaks may require a pipe reroute to bypass the damaged section entirely, which eliminates the need to jackhammer through your foundation. For extensive corrosion or repeated leaks in aging galvanized or polybutylene piping, we may recommend a partial or whole-home repipe to prevent future failures. Whatever the solution, we handle the complete repair — you won’t need to call a second contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the warning signs of a hidden water leak?
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors indicating mold growth, warm spots on the floor (hot water line leaks), and cracks in your foundation. Even a single sign warrants professional investigation.
What equipment do you use to find leaks?
We use a combination of electronic acoustic listening devices that amplify the sound of water escaping pipes, thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by moisture, and static pressure testing to confirm leaks in specific sections of your plumbing system. These tools let us locate leaks with precision.
Can a small leak really cause a big spike in my water bill?
Absolutely. Even a pinhole leak running 24 hours a day can waste thousands of gallons per month. A leak as small as 1/16 of an inch at normal water pressure can waste over 900 gallons per day. If your bill has jumped without a change in usage, a hidden leak is one of the most likely causes.
Can you detect leaks without cutting into my walls or floor?
In most cases, yes. Our non-invasive detection equipment allows us to locate leaks through walls, under slabs, and underground without exploratory demolition. We only open up surfaces when it's time to make the actual repair, and we target the smallest area possible.

View ServiceWater Heater Maintenance
Annual water heater maintenance is one of the smartest investments a Central Florida homeowner can make. Central Florida's mineral-heavy water accelerates sediment buildup, corrodes anode rods faster than the national average, and forces your system to work harder just to deliver the same hot water. Cool Rays Air Conditioning & Plumbing provides thorough water heater tune-ups that flush accumulated sediment, inspect critical safety components, check anode rod condition, verify thermostat accuracy, and optimize system efficiency. Regular maintenance extends your water heater's lifespan by years, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and keeps your energy bills in check — all for a fraction of the cost of an emergency repair or premature replacement.
