Leak problems we help West Delray Beach homeowners with
- Slab leak detection in villas and single-story homes
- Condo and villa leaks between units
- Hidden leaks in shared-wall homes
Villas and shared walls
In villas and attached homes, a leak can start in one unit and show up in the next. Water from a neighboring line can travel under a shared slab or inside a shared wall. Leak detection can help show where the water is actually coming from, which matters when deciding who is responsible.
Check your HOA documents
HOA communities can have rules about which repairs the owner covers and which the association covers, especially for pipes under shared slabs or between units. Check your HOA documents, or ask the association, before work starts.
Seasonal homes and long absences
If a home sits empty for part of the year, a hidden leak can run for months without anyone noticing. Shutting off the main water valve before leaving, and checking the water bill while away, are simple ways to catch a leak early.
