Slab leak repair and replacement in Longwood
Owners in Longwood usually call after one of a few things: a warm spot on the floor, a high water bill, running sounds or a moving meter. Each can point to a line under the slab. 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 Longwood, most under-slab leaks are first noticed at the meter, on the bill or in a change to the floor.
Leak detection comes first. A technician serving Longwood isolates each line, pressure tests it and then pinpoints the leak so any repair is as small as possible.
Inland Central Florida is mostly sandy ground dotted with lakes and stormwater ponds, and lawns here are heavily watered. Sprinkler lines are a frequent false lead, so they are checked early. Longwood is one of 8 places we list in Seminole County, alongside Altamonte Springs and Casselberry.
Longwood history and what it means for older plumbing
Longwood was incorporated in 1923.
Longwood later developed mostly as a residential community. The city has had two of the oldest trees in America within its borders, the Senator and Lady Liberty, and has worked to revitalize its downtown historic district.
With roots in the 1920s, Longwood has houses from more than one building era, and the age of a home is one of the first things worth mentioning on the call.

What sits under a slab in Seminole County depends on when the house was built. Housing runs from older slab homes to recent builds, plus many rentals and vacation homes. Newer homes often use PEX supply lines. See irrigation and outdoor leaks.
Building eras around Longwood
No single pipe type defines Longwood. Houses of different ages have copper, gray plastic from the 1980s era or PEX, and the technician identifies what is there.
In Seminole County a pool or a sprinkler system can push a water bill up on its own. Both are checked first so the slab is not blamed wrongly, and neither is repaired by the technicians we connect you with.
Incorporated in 1875, Longwood is a city of about 5.5 square miles in Seminole County. Pipe age differs from house to house, which is why each home is assessed on its own.
The leak detection visit in Longwood
A technician visiting Longwood begins by listening to what you have seen, then checks the meter with everything off. Only after that are options and price laid out for you. Isolating the hot and cold lines and a pressure test narrow down where water is escaping, and listening along the floor marks the spot.
Longwood owners: a ten-minute home check
A few checks before you call help the person on the line understand what is happening at your Longwood home.
Turn everything off. Close every tap, stop the washing machine and dishwasher and pause the lawn sprinklers before you look at anything else. This applies to your Longwood home too.
Look at the flow indicator. Most meters have a small dial that spins when water moves. If it turns while everything is off at your Longwood home, read the water meter leak check guide and call.
Scan the statements. An unexplained increase that repeats each month is typical of a hidden leak.
Check by touch and ear. Warm spots, soft flooring and faint running sounds are all worth noting.
Give us a call. Bring the reading, the rooms and a rough date, and the call goes quickly.
