Slab Leak Detection in Fort Lauderdale
Water leaking beneath your foundation is a silent destroyer. We locate the leak without destroying your floors.
For decades, Priscilla's Plumbing has provided top-tier plumbing services to homeowners and businesses throughout Fort Lauderdale. We blend old-school craftsmanship with modern plumbing technology.
For Fort Lauderdale specifically, the most common driver of slab leak detection calls is: cast iron drain failure is endemic in homes built before 1985, and slab leaks are common in the slab-on-grade construction east of us-1. Our crews have worked these exact patterns for decades — we know what to look for and what the durable fix is.
Slab leaks are one of the most common — and most stressful — calls we run in Fort Lauderdale, because so much of the housing stock here is slab-on-grade with copper supply lines buried in the concrete. Housing stock here is pre-1985 cast iron throughout the historic neighborhoods; mid-century waterfront homes on the isles with salt-air corrosion challenges, which directly shapes how we scope this work. The local pattern we see most often is cast iron drain failure is endemic in homes built before 1985, and slab leaks are common in the slab-on-grade construction east of us-1, so that is where we look first when we open up a wall or pull a cleanout cap.
We pinpoint the leak with acoustic and pressure equipment first, then talk through the real trade-offs: spot repair through the slab, reroute overhead, or partial repipe — there is rarely one right answer. We're regularly on the trucks in Las Olas Isles and the surrounding Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, so we already know the building stock, the soil, and the municipal connections.
