Slab leak repair and replacement in Crawfordville
If you live in Crawfordville, the signs of a hidden leak are the ones owners across Wakulla County report most: a warm floor, damp baseboards, a bill that keeps climbing or a meter that will not sit still. None of these signs proves a leak alone, so testing comes before any talk of repairs.
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 Crawfordville, 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 Crawfordville homeowners can compare repair options with real information.
Around Crawfordville, North Florida soils vary more than in the south, with clay and loam in places as well as sand. Most homes are on slabs, though some have crawlspaces, which are a different job.
Where Crawfordville came from
Crawfordville is an unincorporated community and the Wakulla County seat. Crawfordville was made the county seat in 1866.
Wakulla County was created in 1843 and its first seat, Port Leon, was destroyed by a hurricane that same year. Crawfordville is one of only two unincorporated county seats in Florida.
Because the story of Crawfordville goes back to the 1840s, houses of several different ages can sit side by side here, so the technician asks early when the home was built and what the water lines are made of.

What to check first in Crawfordville
Ten minutes at home can save time when the technician arrives in Crawfordville.
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 Crawfordville home too.
Walk the floors. Feel for a warm patch on tile or slab, press along baseboards for softness and listen for a faint hiss or trickle. Do this room by room in your Crawfordville home.
Look back at the bills. Two or three months of rising charges with no new pool, guests or watering is worth pointing out. This applies to your Crawfordville home too.
Check the meter box. Look at the small flow indicator for a few minutes. Any movement is a reason to call. More on the water meter leak check page. Do this at your Crawfordville home before calling.
