Leak Detection & Repair in Cape Coral & Fort Myers
A water bill that keeps climbing, a warm spot on the floor or a stain on the ceiling can all point to a hidden leak. Juan's Plumbing finds where the water is coming from and repairs it, so you are not left guessing.
Signs you may have a hidden water leak
Unexplained high water bill
Usage goes up even though your habits have not changed.
Meter moves with everything off
If the water meter keeps turning with all fixtures off, water is going somewhere.
Warm or damp floor spots
A warm area on tile or flooring can mean a hot water line is leaking below the slab.
Stains, bubbling paint or mildew
Water marks on walls and ceilings or a musty smell often come from a leak behind the surface.
Sound of running water
Hearing water moving when nothing is on is a common early sign.
Low water pressure
A leak on a supply line can reduce pressure at faucets and showers.
Where leaks hide in Southwest Florida homes
Many homes in Cape Coral and Fort Myers are built on concrete slabs, so supply lines often run under the floor where a leak can go unnoticed for a long time. Leaks also happen inside walls, under sinks, at toilet and shower valves, at water heater connections and on outdoor lines and hose bibs.
Our goal is to narrow down the location before anything is opened up, so repairs are as targeted as possible. Once we know where the leak is, we explain the repair options and give you a free quote before work begins.
Our leak detection process
- 1
Tell us what you are seeing
Call or request service and describe the bill, stain, sound or wet spot.
- 2
Check the system
We check the meter, fixtures and visible lines to confirm there is a leak and narrow down the area.
- 3
Locate the leak
We pinpoint the leak as closely as possible before opening walls or floors.
- 4
Repair and recommend
We repair the leak and let you know if the piping points to a bigger issue.
When a leak points to a bigger problem
One leak is usually a simple repair. Repeated pinhole leaks in different parts of the house can mean the piping itself is wearing out — in that case we will talk with you about whole-house repiping. Leaks around the tank or its fittings may mean it is time for water heater repair or replacement. For leaks or damage in drain and sewer lines, a drain & sewer camera inspection shows what is going on inside the pipe.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if I have a leak?+
Turn off every faucet and water-using appliance, then look at your water meter. If it is still moving, there is likely a leak somewhere on the property. Give us a call and we can help find it.
What is a slab leak?+
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under a home's concrete foundation. Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water and a rising water bill are common signs.
Do you repair the leak too?+
Yes. Once the leak is located, we explain the repair options and give you a free quote before starting the work.
Should I turn off my water if I find a leak?+
If water is actively leaking and causing damage, shutting off the main water valve can help limit damage until a plumber arrives.
Do you handle leaks at businesses and rental properties?+
Yes. We work on leaks for homes, rental properties and commercial buildings in Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Lee County.
