Slab Leak & Water Leak Detection in Lighthouse Point, Florida
A slab leak is a water line failure beneath your home's concrete foundation. In Lighthouse Point, canal and waterfront lots add a complication: shifting saturated soil and salt-laden air accelerate pipe failure, and irrigation or dock water lines give a leak more places to hide. The usual first sign is an unexplained water bill, not a puddle. Royal Elite Plumbing starts with a visual inspection and uses acoustic equipment and infrared thermal imaging when needed to narrow down the location. Licensed FL #CFC1434273.
Why Lighthouse Point homes develop hidden leaks
1960s-1970s construction on waterfront lots. Canal-front homes have exposed outdoor plumbing, such as dock lines and outdoor showers, that needs protection from salt air. Affluent community expects quality fixtures and professional installations. Many homes undergoing renovation with complete plumbing system upgrades.
Waterfront community where most homes are on canals requiring dock water systems, boat lifts, and outdoor showers with hot water. Aggressive saltwater corrosion affects all outdoor fixtures requiring frequent replacement with marine-grade materials. Many homes have pools and elaborate outdoor entertaining areas. Underground sprinkler systems require saltwater-resistant components.
Local water conditions: Water is supplied by Broward County for most of the city and by the City of Pompano Beach in the south, and both disinfect with chloramine. Whole-home filtration is a popular upgrade to improve taste and protect fixtures.
Signs of a slab leak in Lighthouse Point
- Water bill jumps with no change in usage
- Running water sound when all fixtures are off
- Warm spots on the floor — a hot water line failure under the slab
- Cracks in flooring or drywall as saturated soil shifts
- Musty smell or visible mold, often before any water appears
- Irrigation or dock line pressure loss — common on canal lots and easy to mistake for a pump fault
- Discoloured water — corroding galvanized or copper supply lines nearing end of life
How we find it
- Pressure isolation — we isolate supply lines to confirm a leak exists and narrow it to hot or cold
- Acoustic detection — ground microphones pick up water escaping under the slab
- Infrared thermal imaging — hot water leaks show as temperature differentials through the floor
- Video camera inspection — for drain and sewer line leaks
- Moisture mapping — meters trace how far water has travelled through slab and walls
- Written findings — exact location marked, with repair options and pricing before any work starts

Why a suspected leak should not wait
Waterfront soil in Lighthouse Point is already saturated. A slab leak adds to it continuously, and the combination undermines foundations faster than it would inland. South Florida humidity means mold follows within weeks, usually before any water is visible.

Leak Detection in Lighthouse Point: What We See
A water bill that jumps for no reason is often the first sign of a hidden leak in Lighthouse Point, and the longer it runs, the more it costs in water and damage. Many homes here are from the 1960s and 1970s with copper lines under the slab, and canal-front lots with high water tables can hide a slab leak for months because the ground stays damp anyway.
We start with a visual inspection, including outdoor showers, dock lines and irrigation, which are common culprits on waterfront properties. If the leak is hidden, we bring in our leak detection system, and open drywall or flooring only where needed. Once the repair is done, a Moen Flo smart water shutoff watches for the next leak and can shut off the water automatically. Call (561) 336-0535. Same-day service available.

Leak Detection in Lighthouse Point: Common Questions
Who do I call about a high water bill in Lighthouse Point?
+
Your water provider, which is Broward County for most of the city and the City of Pompano Beach for the southern part. If the bill points to a leak, call Royal Elite at (561) 336-0535 to find it.
Do you offer slab leak detection in Lighthouse Point?
+
Yes. Slab leak detection in Lighthouse Point starts with a visual inspection and checking the meter, then uses acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture meters when needed to locate a leak under the slab. Once it is found, we explain the repair options, including rerouting the line.
How much does leak detection cost in Lighthouse Point?
+
When equipment is needed, leak detection typically runs $350 to $750 for the first 2 hours. We always start by trying to find the leak visually, which can save you the equipment cost entirely. The repair is quoted separately once the leak is found. Discounts are available for new and returning customers.
How can I tell if I have a leak in my Lighthouse Point home?
+
Turn off every faucet, toilet and appliance, then look at the water meter. If the low-flow indicator or dial is still moving, water is leaving the pipes somewhere.
Where are leaks most common on Lighthouse Point waterfront homes?
+
Under-slab copper lines, dock water supplies, outdoor showers and irrigation lines. We check the outdoor lines first because they are often the cause.
Will you have to break up my floor to find a slab leak?
+
Not always. We start with a visual inspection and use our leak detection equipment, including acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture meters, when needed to narrow down the location. Every case is different, and some repairs do require opening drywall or flooring in specific areas. We explain what is needed before any opening is made.
How do I stop leaks from happening again?
+
Fix aging pipes and install a smart water shutoff like Moen Flo. It monitors flow and pressure around the clock and can shut off the water automatically when it detects a leak. Ask your insurance carrier whether your policy offers a credit for it.
