Recent Punta Gorda feedback
Tankless unit kept throwing an error. They found the gas line was undersized from the original install and corrected it properly.
Well water was staining every sink. They tested first, then sized a softener to match rather than selling the biggest one.
Kitchen line jetted, camera before and after. I could actually see the difference.

Leak Detection in Punta Gorda: common questions
Will you have to break up my floor to find it?
No. Location comes first, using acoustic listening and thermal imaging, and we mark the spot on the surface. Only then does anything get opened, and the opening stays as small as the repair allows.
How do I know I have a hidden leak?
Shut every fixture off and watch the meter. If the low-flow indicator still turns, water is going somewhere. A bill that jumped without a change in habits, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water with everything off are the other common signs.
Can you detect a pool or irrigation leak?
Yes, and it is worth ruling those out early because they often present as a mystery water bill with no wet spot anywhere in the house.
What is a slab leak?
A leak in a supply line running under the concrete foundation. It is common in Punta Gorda homes on slab and it shows up as warm flooring, unexplained water use or damp carpet edges.
Is a reroute better than a repair?
Sometimes. If the pipe under the slab has failed once on an aging system, it will likely fail again elsewhere. We price the direct repair and the reroute together so you can weigh both.
Can you find a leak without breaking up my floor?
That is the point of proper leak detection. We isolate the meter to confirm the leak is on your side, then use acoustic listening and thermal imaging to narrow it down before anything is opened. The goal is a small, marked opening rather than an exploratory demolition.
My drain keeps clogging even after it is cleared. Why?
Repeat clogs in the same line usually mean the line itself has a problem: roots at a joint, a belly holding water, scale in old cast iron, or a break. Cabling clears the symptom. A camera inspection tells you the cause, and we run one on main line calls so you are not paying for the same visit every few months.
