Leak Detection & Repair in Sanibel & Southwest Florida

A rising water bill, damp floor, or ceiling stain can signal a hidden plumbing leak. Good Catch Plumbing locates the source and explains the repair options, helping limit unnecessary openings in your walls or floors.

We investigate supply-line, slab, underground, and drain leaks in Sanibel and Southwest Florida homes, including seasonal properties managed from a distance.

Signs You Have a Hidden Leak

Your water bill jumped without explanation

Higher usage without a change in habits can point to a hidden leak.

A warm or damp spot on the floor

Unexplained warmth or moisture may indicate a leaking pipe beneath the slab.

Running water you can hear with everything off

Water sounds with fixtures off deserve investigation.

A musty smell, mildew, or mold

Persistent dampness or odor can be a clue to hidden moisture.

Water pressure has dropped off

A leak is one possible cause; we also check other supply problems.

Ceiling stains or bubbling paint

Stains, peeling paint, or swollen finishes can reveal water behind a surface.

What's included

  • Non-invasive electronic leak location
  • Slab & underground leak detection
  • Pipe repair and rerouting
  • Moisture and water-damage assessment

Find the source. Plan the right repair.

  • Confirm the problem: Check pressure, symptoms, and the affected plumbing before opening surfaces.
  • Locate the leak: Use acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, or moisture readings as appropriate.
  • Explain access: Show you where work is needed and compare repair or rerouting options.
  • Verify the fix: Retest the repaired plumbing and discuss any signs of wider pipe deterioration.

Detection can reduce disruption, but access may still be needed to confirm or repair a leak. We explain that scope before work begins.

Questions

Questions about Leak Detection & Repair

Can you find a leak without tearing up my walls or floors?
Often we can narrow down the source with acoustic, thermal, and moisture tools. Some opening may still be required for confirmation or repair; we explain that first.
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Watch for unexplained warm or damp flooring, water sounds with fixtures off, or a rising bill. These are clues, not proof; testing confirms the cause.
My home sits empty in the off-season. How do I keep a leak from running for months?
Ask about leak alerts, automatic shutoff options, and a plumbing check before you leave. We can help plan water shutoffs around your home’s equipment and needs.
Why do the copper pipes in my house keep springing pinhole leaks?
Repeated pinholes can have several causes, including corrosion and water conditions. We assess the affected piping and discuss repair, rerouting, or replacement when appropriate.
Do you repair the leak, or only locate it?
Both. We locate the source, explain the repair, and retest afterward. Access, pipe condition, and parts determine whether the work can be completed in one visit.
What areas do you serve for leak detection?
We serve Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities. Call (239) 246-3747 with your address. After-hours emergency calls are available.
