📞 Call (877) 557-4005Leak detection in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County requires specialized equipment and trained technicians — because most damaging leaks are invisible. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, and inside plumbing systems cause structural damage, mold growth, and skyrocketing water bills for months before they become visible. Our certified team uses thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and moisture mapping to locate the exact source of any leak accurately and non-invasively — then we repair the cause and restore all affected areas.

In Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, undetected leaks are one of the most common and costly causes of property damage. South Florida's high humidity — averaging over 70% year-round — accelerates the damage that hidden leaks cause. Water that seeps into wall cavities, subfloors, and building materials doesn't dry on its own in this climate. It accumulates silently, weakening structural components and creating the conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Early professional leak detection prevents the three most expensive consequences of undetected leaks:
Our leak detection services use state-of-the-art technology to locate leaks quickly and accurately — even in hard-to-reach areas — without unnecessary demolition. Every technique we use is non-invasive, meaning we find the source of the leak before any walls, floors, or ceilings are opened. Our advanced detection methods include:
All findings are documented with photos, thermal images, and moisture readings — providing the evidence needed to support your insurance claim and verify the accuracy of the detection before any repairs begin.
Our leak detection services cover every type of water intrusion common to Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County properties — residential and commercial:
Finding the leak is only the first step. Once the source is identified, all damage caused by the leak must be fully addressed — not just the visible surface damage. Our restoration services cover every phase of recovery following leak detection:
Leak damage is one of the most frequently underpaid categories of property insurance claims — primarily because incomplete documentation fails to capture the full scope of hidden damage. Our leak detection process generates the precise documentation insurance adjusters require: thermal images, moisture readings, photos of affected materials, and an itemized scope of work using Xactimate, the industry-standard estimating platform.
We coordinate directly with your insurance company from the moment we arrive — handling adjuster communication, supplemental documentation, and direct billing where applicable. This ensures your claim accurately reflects all damage caused by the leak, including hidden moisture that would otherwise go undetected and uncovered.

When you suspect a hidden leak, time is critical — the longer it goes undetected, the more structural damage and mold risk accumulates. Our certified team responds 24/7 across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, arriving with professional detection equipment ready to begin immediately.
Before anything is opened, we use infrared thermal cameras and calibrated moisture meters to map the exact location and extent of the leak — behind walls, under floors, inside slabs, and above ceilings. All findings are documented with thermal images and moisture readings for your insurance claim.
For slab leaks, underground pipe leaks, and leaks buried inside walls, we use specialized acoustic listening equipment that amplifies the sound of water movement — pinpointing the exact source without invasive demolition. Pressure testing confirms the full scope of any plumbing system failures.
Once the source is precisely located, we repair the cause of the leak and extract any standing water or saturated materials using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. Addressing the source before restoration ensures the damage does not continue once repairs begin.
After the leak is stopped and water is extracted, we deploy commercial dehumidifiers and high-speed air movers calibrated for South Florida's 70%+ humidity. Daily moisture readings are logged until all structural materials reach safe dry thresholds — per IICRC S500 standards — before any reconstruction begins.
Hidden leaks almost always result in hidden mold. In South Florida's subtropical climate, mold can begin colonizing within 24–48 hours of water intrusion. We inspect, treat, and remediate all affected areas — and perform air quality testing before and after to confirm your property is safe for occupancy.
Once the property is confirmed dry and mold-free, we repair all damage caused by the leak — drywall replacement, flooring repairs, subfloor repair, and structural reinforcement as needed. We handle everything from minor patch repairs to full reconstruction under one coordinated team.
Throughout every step, we document the leak source, moisture readings, thermal images, scope of work, and repairs using Xactimate — the industry-standard estimating platform used by insurance adjusters. We communicate directly with your insurance company and handle billing to ensure your claim covers the full scope of damage.
Most leak damage is invisible — hidden inside walls, under slabs, and behind flooring for months before it surfaces. WFR has been locating and repairing hidden leaks across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County since 2003, using non-invasive thermal imaging and acoustic detection to find the exact source before a single wall is opened.
Leak damage is one of the most underpaid categories of property insurance claims — because most companies miss the hidden moisture. We document everything with thermal images, moisture readings, and Xactimate estimates, then coordinate directly with your adjuster to ensure your claim covers the full scope of damage, not just what's visible on the surface.
State of Florida licensed for mold assessment and remediation — required by law after any hidden leak. IICRC certified in water damage restoration, applied structural drying, and microbial remediation per the IICRC S500 Standard.
Our thermal cameras detect temperature variations caused by hidden moisture — pinpointing leaks behind walls, under floors, and inside slabs without invasive demolition. Every detection is documented with thermal images before any repairs begin.
Specialized acoustic listening equipment locates slab leaks, underground pipe leaks, and leaks encased in concrete — completely invisible to the eye. Once found, industrial pumps, commercial dehumidifiers, and air movers handle complete water removal and structural drying.
We handle every phase under one coordinated team — leak detection, source repair, water extraction, structural drying, mold remediation, and full reconstruction. No handoffs to separate contractors, no delays, no cost overruns.
Our certified detection team is on call 24/7 across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County — non-invasive, same-day response.
Call (877) 557-4005Everything homeowners and businesses in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County ask before calling us — answered.
Our flood restoration teams are on call 24/7 — including weekends, holidays, and during active hurricane and tropical storm events across all three counties. Response times vary by location and current call volume, but we prioritize getting certified technicians on-site as quickly as possible because every hour of standing water increases structural damage and mold risk.
We have dedicated county hotlines to dispatch the nearest available team: Miami-Dade (305) 967-7509, Broward (954) 380-8655, and Palm Beach (561) 771-9512.
Before our team arrives, take these steps if it is safe to do so:
The most important step is to call for professional water removal immediately — do not wait to see if it dries on its own.
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage, the size of the property, and how quickly extraction begins. Generally:
South Florida's high humidity means drying takes longer here than in other regions — we use infrared moisture detection to monitor and document every area until moisture levels reach safe thresholds before reconstruction begins.
Yes — in South Florida's subtropical climate, mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion. It spreads behind walls, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems before it is visible to the naked eye.
This is why calling for professional flood restoration immediately — not after the water appears to dry — is so critical. Our services include comprehensive mold remediation and mold assessment as a standard part of every flood restoration project. We are licensed by the State of Florida for both, as required under Florida Statute 489.52.
Standard homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental water damage — such as a burst pipe or a roof leak — but does not cover flooding caused by rising water from storms or hurricanes. For that, you need a separate flood insurance policy, often through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private insurer.
We work directly with both types of policies. Our team handles the full insurance process — damage documentation, Xactimate estimates, adjuster communication, and direct billing — so you don't have to navigate it alone. Learn more about our insurance claims assistance.
Yes. We coordinate directly with your insurance company from day one — including photo documentation, moisture readings, itemized scope of work using Xactimate (the industry-standard estimating platform used by adjusters), progress reports, and direct billing where applicable.
Our goal is to make sure your claim is accurately documented so you receive the coverage your property damage deserves. Many property owners are underpaid on flood claims simply due to incomplete documentation — we prevent that.
