Patch Plumbing finds and repairs hidden water leaks, slab leaks and broken underground water lines for homes in DeLand, Deltona, Orange City and across Volusia County. For leaks we can't see, we bring in a dedicated leak-detection specialist to pinpoint the spot before anything is opened up. We also replace main water lines and connect homes to city water, including well-to-city conversions.
Signs of a hidden leak
- Your water bill jumped and your usage didn't
- The water meter dial moves with every faucet off
- Warm spots on a tile floor (possible hot-water slab leak)
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Soggy patches or unusually green grass along the water line
- Stains, bubbling paint or a musty smell on walls or ceilings
Find it first, then open it up
Guessing at a leak means holes in walls and floors that didn't need to be there. When the leak isn't obvious, we bring in a leak-detection specialist to pinpoint it, then make one targeted repair. Customers tell us the whole job, detection and fix, is often done in a single visit.
Slab leaks
Most Central Florida homes sit on a concrete slab, and water lines run under or through it. When one of those lines fails, you can repair the spot through the slab, or reroute the line through the walls or attic so you aren't trusting the rest of the old pipe. We'll explain both. If the house has had more than one leak, a whole-home repipe may be the better investment. Read the warning signs of a slab leak.
Main water lines and city water hookups
We repair and replace the main water line from the meter to the house, including lines damaged by roots or yard work. When city water comes to your street, we handle the connection from the meter to the home, including well-to-city water conversions.
