Slab leaks in Bonita Springs

Homes from 1960 to 1999 make up 53%, below the Florida figure of 59%. That ranks 26th lowest of the 111 Florida cities we profile. Hot lines under the slab expand and rub against concrete for decades until a pinhole forms.

Leak detection confirms the leak at the meter, isolates hot from cold, then pinpoints it acoustically so only one small spot is opened, or none if a reroute is the better fix.

In Florida: Slab-on-grade construction, high water tables and hurricane flooding shape plumbing work, from slab leaks to sewer backups.
