Fast & Effective Leak Detection and Repair Service in Altamonte Springs, FL

As a homeowner, have you noticed that your water bill has went up since last month, or have you spotted a water puddle on your floor? Are you concerned that your home may be in danger from a leak, but you’re not sure what is going on or where the water is coming from?

Leak Doctor can quickly determine whether or not you actually have a leak, can pinpoint exactly where your leak is, and provide professional repairs from a licensed plumber.

When you contact Leak Doctor, we will come out as quickly as possible, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure that the damage to your property is minimized.

Common Signs of a Leak:

• Wet carpet
• Water puddle
• Wet spot on walls or ceiling
• The sound of water running, but without visible signs of water
• Unexplained high water bill

If you have noticed any of the above warning signs, it’s important to detect the source of the problem as soon as possible. Water leaks can cause significant damage to your home and can quickly worsen if not repaired.

It’s important to react quickly to leaks since water damage can quickly lead to structural problems and pose a safety threat to your loved ones or employees. Mold is not always visible and can live anywhere there is moisture. This unnoticed health threat can cause significant ailments and respiratory problems.

Leak Doctor can locate your water leak and minimize the damage to your home or building. It is better for you, the customer, to have a specialist pinpoint the problem before excavation. The cost of pursuing a leak with a jackhammer or sledgehammer without our help far outweighs Leak Doctor’s fee for locating the problem.

Water Intrusion vs. Plumbing Leaks: How to Tell the Difference in Altamonte Springs

Rain can push water through weak spots in walls, windows, roofs, and door thresholds. A plumbing leak comes from pressurized supply lines or drains inside the home. Spotting the difference saves time and prevents extra demolition. Start with timing. Wet areas that appear after storms and dry out between showers point to water intrusion. Damp drywall that returns every time the shower runs or a dishwasher cycles points to plumbing. Track location. Stains that start near windows, sliding doors, or exterior walls often indicate intrusion, while stains centered under upstairs baths or along a supply line chase lean toward plumbing. Feel the surface. A cool, broad damp patch on a ceiling often signals rain entry; a small circular spot with a sharp edge often signals a pipe drip. Keep short notes and photos. Leak Doctor Inc uses your observations to focus testing and move faster to a verified fix.

Exterior Repairs That Stop Intrusion at the Source

Water finds the easiest path, so durable repairs block that path from roof to foundation. Technicians rebuild failed sealant joints at window perimeters and door thresholds, set new backer where gaps grew wide, and seat fresh, paintable sealant that moves with the wall. Loose or missing kick-out flashing at roof-wall intersections receives a proper metal deflector to steer runoff into gutters. Stucco cracks get routed and sealed, and small patches restore the finish so hairlines don’t reopen. Sills and trim that took on water get dried, treated, and replaced where needed. Downspouts gain extensions so splash blocks move water away from the slab. Irrigation heads that spray the wall get redirected or swapped to lower-angle patterns. Each repair step targets a specific entry point and verifies that water now sheds away from the structure in heavy afternoon storms.

Dry-Out, Proof of Dryness, and Mold Risk Reduction

Stopping the entry point starts the recovery; drying the structure finishes it. Crews open limited areas to release trapped moisture and set air movement to speed evaporation without spreading dust. Moisture meters track readings at set points each visit until wood, drywall, and base plates return to safe targets. Infrared checks confirm that shadows fade as materials dry. Technicians clean and treat minor surface growth at the repair zone and share a clear plan if a remediation partner needs to address larger growth. Owners receive photo sets that show the original readings, the repair, and the final dry-down numbers, useful for peace of mind and helpful for insurance. Simple prevention tips close the visit: keep gutters clear, trim landscaping off walls, redirect sprinklers, seal small cracks before storm season, and run a quick home check after big rains so small problems never turn into soaked rooms.
