Under-slab leak repair and replacement in Lady Lake
Slab leaks tend to give the same signs in Lady Lake as anywhere else in Lake County: a warm patch on the floor, a meter that moves with everything off, a rising bill or the sound of water when nothing runs. A technician confirms the leak with tests before any floor is opened.
A water leak under the house is harder to spot on a slab than on a raised floor, because there is no crawlspace to look into. In Lady Lake, most under-slab leaks are first noticed at the meter, on the bill or in a change to the floor.
The goal of leak detection is a marked spot on the floor and a clear answer about which line is leaking, so Lady Lake homeowners can compare repair options with real information.
The middle of the state has sandy soil, many lakes and a lot of irrigation. Because outdoor water use is high, a moving meter is tested against the sprinklers before anyone looks under the floor. Lady Lake is one of 11 places we list in Lake County, alongside Clermont and Eustis.

How leak detection works in Lady Lake
A Lady Lake visit is built around testing, not guessing. You get findings, options and a price before deciding anything. The technician asks about the home, watches the meter, isolates the hot and cold lines, pressure tests them and listens across the floor.
A home check before the call in Lady Lake
If you suspect a leak in Lady Lake, start with these five steps and write down what you see.
Pause the water. Stop the dishwasher, the washer and any irrigation timer so nothing else is drawing water.
Use your hands and ears. A floor that feels warm, flooring that has lifted or softened and a quiet running sound are the usual clues. Mention it when you call about your Lady Lake home.
Watch the meter. With the water off, open the meter box at the street and watch the dial or low-flow triangle. In Lady Lake, a moving dial means water is going somewhere. The water meter leak check page shows what to look for.
Check the bills. A steady climb in usage, not a one-off spike, is the pattern that points to a hidden leak.
Give us a call. Bring the reading, the rooms and a rough date, and the call goes quickly.
