Under-slab leak repair and replacement in Palm Beach Gardens
Owners in Palm Beach Gardens 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.
An under-slab leak is often called a foundation leak, though the foundation itself is rarely the cause. In Palm Beach Gardens, it is almost always a water or drain line under the concrete that has failed.
Professional leak detection in Palm Beach Gardens uses pressure tests, acoustic listening and thermal imaging to find the leak before any concrete is opened.
Palm Beach Gardens is one of 14 places we list in Palm Beach County, alongside Belle Glade and Boca Raton. The Atlantic side of South Florida is flat and low, with limestone and sand close to the surface and groundwater not far below. A damp slab here can come from the ground as easily as from a pipe, so testing comes first.
Where Palm Beach Gardens came from
Palm Beach Gardens was incorporated in June 1959. Palm Beach Gardens was first settled in the 1890s by residents of Juno.
Before development the land was mostly cattle ranches and pine forest, with swampland farther west. Insurance and land magnate John D. MacArthur announced plans in 1959 to develop 4,000 acres as a planned garden city. His first choice of name, Palm Beach City, was refused because it was too close to the Town of Palm Beach. Rapid development ran from the late 1950s into the 1960s.
With roots in the 1950s, Palm Beach Gardens 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.
Where Palm Beach Gardens sits
Palm Beach Gardens sits in northern Palm Beach County, north of West Palm Beach. The Intracoastal Waterway crosses at PGA Boulevard, linking US 1 and Juno Beach.
Wherever a home sits in Palm Beach Gardens, a technician separates sprinkler and yard lines from the lines under the house before suggesting a repair.

Homes in Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach County
Homes in Palm Beach Gardens vary in age, and age is the first clue to the plumbing. Housing here leans toward condos, rentals and older single-story slab homes, where reaching the line and telling the right people can take as much planning as the fix. See condo ground floor slab leaks.
Housing and pipes in Palm Beach Gardens
Homes in Palm Beach Gardens come from several building eras, so copper, the gray plastic pipe of the late 1970s to mid 1990s and PEX can all turn up.
Both pools and lawn sprinklers draw on the house supply, and in Palm Beach County either can make the meter move. The technician rules them out first, and the technicians we connect you with do not repair pools or irrigation.
Incorporated in 1959, Palm Beach Gardens is a city of about 58.7 square miles in Palm Beach County. Pipe age differs from house to house, which is why each home is assessed on its own.
What happens on a leak visit in Palm Beach Gardens
In Palm Beach Gardens, the visit starts with questions: what you noticed, when, the age and type of the home and what the meter does with everything off. The findings, options and price are explained before any work, and you decide. Next come a meter reading, isolation of the hot and cold lines, a pressure test and listening across the floor.
What to check first in Palm Beach Gardens
A few checks before you call help the person on the line understand what is happening at your Palm Beach Gardens home.
Stop all water use. Shut the taps, pause the dishwasher and washer and switch the sprinkler controller off.
Watch the meter. With the water off, open the meter box at the street and watch the dial or low-flow triangle. In Palm Beach Gardens, a moving dial means water is going somewhere. The water meter leak check page shows what to look for.
Compare recent bills. A water bill that climbs without a change in how many people live in the house is a pattern to mention. Keep the Palm Beach Gardens statements handy.
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 Palm Beach Gardens home.
Then make the call. Have the meter numbers, the spots you noticed and the date you first saw a change ready.
