Under-slab leak repair and replacement in Navarre
Owners in Navarre 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. Concrete is only opened once tests have shown where the water is going.
Whether you call it a slab leak, a foundation leak or a water leak under the house, the cause in most Navarre homes is the same: a pipe running beneath the concrete floor.
Leak detection comes first. A technician serving Navarre isolates each line, pressure tests it and then pinpoints the leak so any repair is as small as possible.
Navarre is one of 4 places we list in Santa Rosa County, alongside Gulf Breeze and Jay. The Panhandle shoreline is fine sand, with bays and bayous running inland behind it. Water lost from a pipe under a slab drains into that sand with little to show for it.
Where Navarre came from
Navarre is an unincorporated community in Santa Rosa County. Navarre was settled in 1856 and laid out in 1925.
The Spanish explored the East Bay area in 1693. Colonel Guy Wyman founded the modern town in 1925, naming it for a province in Spain. Rapid growth began in the 1960s after a bridge was built to Santa Rosa Island.
Because the story of Navarre goes back to the 1690s, 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.
Navarre geography and water
Navarre sits on the north shore of Santa Rosa Sound, with Navarre Beach across the water on Santa Rosa Island. It lies about 25 miles east of Pensacola and 15 miles west of Fort Walton Beach. Navarre is centered roughly on the junction of U.S. 98 and State Road 87.

The plumbing in Navarre homes
Homes in Navarre vary in age, and age is the first clue to the plumbing. Much of the coastal housing is used as holiday rentals or second homes, so leaks are often found at the next check-in. See before you leave leak checklist.
Housing and pipes in Navarre
Much of the building in Navarre is recent enough that PEX supply lines are common. PEX does not corrode the way metal can, and leaks tend to be at fittings or where tubing was stressed.
Navarre was first settled in 1856 and remains an unincorporated community.
What happens on a leak visit in Navarre
Expect questions first when the technician arrives in Navarre: how old the house is, what the pipes are made of and what you have noticed. Testing follows, from the meter to the pressure test to listening on the slab. You hear the findings and the price before any work is agreed.
Safe checks for Navarre owners
Before anyone drives out to Navarre, these checks tell you whether the meter is moving.
Make the house quiet. No showers, no laundry, no sprinkler cycle. A still house is what lets the meter tell the truth.
Scan the statements. An unexplained increase that repeats each month is typical of a hidden leak.
Watch the meter. With the water off, open the meter box at the street and watch the dial or low-flow triangle. In Navarre, a moving dial means water is going somewhere. The water meter leak check page shows what to look for.
Check by touch and ear. Warm spots, soft flooring and faint running sounds are all worth noting.
Call with your notes. Tell the person on the line what the meter did, which rooms are affected and how long it has been going on. That is all a Navarre dispatcher needs to start.
