City water or well
Leak detection in Nokomis, FL starts with how your water arrives
On city water, the meter tells us a lot. On a private well, we read the pump and pressure tank instead.
Homes on municipal water have a meter, and a simple test confirms whether water is escaping: shut everything off and watch the dial. Many inland Nokomis properties, though, draw from a private well. There is no meter and no bill to show a spike. The clue is a well pump that kicks on when nobody is using water, or a pressure tank that will not hold.
Either way, professional leak detection in Nokomis, FL follows the same logic: confirm there is a leak, decide which part of the system it is in, then pinpoint it. Pressure testing isolates hot from cold and inside from outside. Acoustic equipment listens for the hiss of escaping water through walls and slabs. Thermal imaging shows where a hot-water leak is warming the floor.
Once we have a location, you get a written price for the repair before we open anything.
Clues
Signs of a hidden leak in your Nokomis home
- A water bill that rose with no change in use
- A well pump that cycles on overnight or when every tap is closed

- A warm patch on a tile floor
- A water heater that seems to run constantly
- Soggy ground in one part of the yard during dry weather
Our tools
How we pinpoint leaks without guesswork
Meter or pump test
Confirms water is escaping and whether the loss is inside or outside the house.
Pressure isolation
Sections of the system are tested separately to narrow the search.
Acoustic listening
Sensitive microphones pick up the sound of a leak through walls and concrete.
Thermal imaging
Temperature differences reveal hot-water leaks behind finishes.
Targeted repair
A small, neat opening and a lasting fix, or a reroute where that makes more sense.
What you can check before calling
Turn off every tap, the dishwasher, the washer and the ice maker. On city water, note the meter reading, wait an hour and check it again. On a well, listen for the pump: if it starts while nothing is running, water is going somewhere. Either result is worth a call to (941) 541-7473. If the leak turns out to be under the floor, our Nokomis slab leak repair page explains the next steps.

Nokomis questions
Leak Detection & Repair in Nokomis: common questions
How do I check for a leak if my Nokomis home is on a well?
Close every fixture and appliance, then watch the pressure gauge on your well tank. If the pressure drops steadily and the pump switches on with nothing running, water is leaking somewhere between the tank and the fixtures. A running toilet is the most common harmless explanation, so check those first by listening at the tank.
Why is my well pump running when no water is on?
Either water is leaking from the house side of the system, or the problem is in the well equipment itself, such as a failing check valve letting water drain back down. We test the house plumbing to rule leaks in or out, and if the household lines hold pressure, we will tell you the issue lies with the well components.
Do you have to open walls or floors to find a leak?
Not to find it. Our testing and listening equipment narrows the leak to a small area first. Opening is only needed to repair it, and we keep that access as small as practical. Sometimes rerouting a line avoids opening a finished wall at all.
Is a small leak really worth fixing right away?
Yes. A slow leak inside a wall feeds mold and rot long before it shows. In a humid climate the damage spreads faster than most people expect. Early detection keeps a small repair small, and our broader leak detection services page explains why timing matters.
