Leak Detection & Repair Services

From a warm spot on the floor that hints at a slab leak to a hissing sound at a gas riser, our specialists track the problem to its exact source. We service copper, PEX, and CPVC water lines, as well as black iron and CSST gas lines connected to appliances like water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, and outdoor fire features.

Once we locate the issue, we explain repair options in plain language. Depending on pipe condition and access, that could be a precise spot repair, new fixture installation, valve replacement, reroute, or a short section of new line with upgraded fittings. Every fix is tested before we clean up.

How Our Process Works

  1. Listen and inspect: We start with your symptoms, then check fixtures, meters, and appliance connections to narrow the search.
  2. Pinpoint with tech: Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and gas detection confirm the location without guesswork.
  3. Present options: You get clear choices that vary by pipe material, access point, and finish protection needs.
  4. Repair and verify: We complete the fix, pressure test, and recheck so you know the leak is truly gone.

Care tip: Know where your main water shutoff and gas shutoff are located, and test them once a year to make sure they operate smoothly. A quick shutoff can prevent major damage if a line ever fails.

For peace of mind, choose leak detection & repair trusted across Northwest Florida.

Local insight: Coastal humidity and seasonal storms can stress outdoor lines and fittings. After any major weather event, take a minute to check exposed piping at grills, pool heaters, and outdoor fireplaces for movement or corrosion. Early checks can prevent bigger problems later.

Systems And Situations We Handle

Every property is different, so we train for a wide range of line materials, layouts, and access challenges. Whether your home has a newer manifold system or older branches behind plaster, we know how to isolate sections quickly to avoid unnecessary opening of walls or floors.

  • Hidden water leaks in walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and slabs
  • Hot water line leaks near tanks and recirculation loops
  • Gas leaks at appliance connectors, valves, and risers
  • Outdoor gas lines serving grills, fire pits, hanging lights, and pool heaters
  • Irrigation tie-in leaks and hose bib issues affecting water pressure
  • Corroded fittings and degraded flex connectors that should be upgraded

As a company that installs gas systems for water heaters, fire features, and decorative lighting, DeFranco Gas brings field experience with appliance demands, venting needs, and best-practice routing. That background helps us spot the true cause faster and recommend durable fixes that match how you use your home.

What To Know About Local Conditions

Homes in our coastal climate often sit on sandy soils with a high water table. That can hide leaks longer and make moisture travel farther before you see a stain. It is also common for slab plumbing to experience expansion and contraction from temperature swings, which stresses fittings over time.

Salt air and storm exposure can accelerate corrosion on outdoor valves and connectors. If your gas or water lines run through patios, pool decks, or landscape beds, routine visual checks and timely upgrades to modern, corrosion-resistant components can extend system life and reduce repair risk.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Booking

Common signs include a running water sound when taps are off, warm spots on floors, higher water bills, or mildew odors. You might also see damp baseboards or slow-forming ceiling stains. If any of these show up, testing can confirm a leak before damage spreads.

If you notice a gas odor, avoid using electrical switches, leave the area, and call your utility or emergency services if the smell is strong. Once safe, schedule professional testing. We use sensitive detectors and pressure checks to locate and fix the source.

We start with noninvasive locating. If access is needed, we make the smallest opening possible and protect surrounding finishes. Many repairs can be completed with a small access point near the actual leak.

Simple detections can be quick, while complex issues in slabs or multi-branch systems take longer. After the initial inspection, we give you an estimated timeline based on access, pipe material, and the repair option you choose.

Yes. We explain the findings and provide an estimate that reflects the location, material, and labor needed. Final cost can vary with additional access or part changes, but we keep you updated before moving forward.
