Wilmington Island has a mix of housing stock that keeps us busy: mid-century ranches, 1990s two-story homes, and newer construction on the east end. The island's high water table and sandy soil mean underground water leaks and irrigation system leaks are common. We also see a lot of pool leak calls because so many homes have screened pools. Salt air and humidity corrode pipe fittings and solder faster here than in inland Georgia, so we stay on top of corrosion-related failures. We serve Wilmington Island because it is home to a lot of repeat customers and referrals, and because the work here is interesting. Every week we are under a different house, tracing a different line.
We started serving Wilmington Island in 2000, back when most of the island was still undeveloped. Our first jobs were slab leak detections in the older ranches near the Wilmington Island Club. Over the years, we have watched the island grow, and we have grown with it. We now handle everything from gas leak detection in commercial kitchens on Highway 80 to pool leak detection for vacation rentals. The relationships we have built here are the reason we keep coming back. When a homeowner in Wilmington Park calls us at 2 a.m. because they hear water running under the floor, we know the house, we know the plumbing, and we know how to fix it.
Wilmington Island's mix of marsh-front homes, vacation rentals, and older neighborhoods means we get called for every kind of leak. The most common calls are for hidden plumbing leaks and slab leaks, but we also handle pool leaks, irrigation system leaks, and gas leaks. If you are hearing water running when nothing is on, or you see a spike in your water bill, we can find the source. We use non-invasive tools first, so we do not tear up your yard or floors unless we have to.
We find water leaks in Wilmington Island homes using acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging. Common spots include under slab, behind walls, and at hose bibs. We pinpoint the leak, then fix it or refer you to a trusted repair tech.
Pool leaks are common on Wilmington Island because of the sandy soil and high water table. We use pressure testing and dye testing to find leaks in the shell, plumbing, or equipment pad. We serve pool owners in Wilmington Park and Riverside.
Slab leaks happen when copper pipe under your foundation corrodes or shifts. We use acoustic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to locate the leak without breaking concrete. We serve slab-on-grade homes throughout Wilmington Island.
Underground water leaks are common in Wilmington Island's sandy soil. We use tracer gas and acoustic equipment to trace the leak from the meter to the house. We can find leaks under driveways, lawns, and landscaping.
From pinhole leaks in copper pipe to failed fittings in PEX tubing, we find hidden plumbing leaks in Wilmington Island homes. We use moisture meters and video pipe inspection cameras to locate the source. We can also repair the leak once found.
Roof leaks in Wilmington Island often show up after summer storms. We use infrared cameras and moisture meters to trace the leak from the ceiling back to the roof. We can also inspect flashing and roof penetrations.
Gas leaks are dangerous, and we treat them that way. We use electronic leak detectors and tracer gas to find leaks in gas lines, appliances, and fittings. We serve homes and commercial kitchens on Wilmington Island.
Sewer line leaks can cause sinkholes and backups. We use video pipe inspection cameras to find breaks, root intrusion, and bellies in your sewer line. We serve Wilmington Island homes with both city sewer and septic systems.
Water line leaks between the meter and your house can waste thousands of gallons. We use acoustic leak detection equipment to find the leak without digging up your whole yard. We serve Wilmington Island homes on both public and well water.
Irrigation leaks are common in Wilmington Island because of the sandy soil and long watering seasons. We use pressure testing and visual inspection to find broken heads, cracked lines, and valve leaks. We can also check your backflow preventer.

Wilmington Island has specific conditions that lead to certain types of leaks. The high water table, sandy soil, salt air, and older housing stock all play a role. Here are the most common problems we see.
Why it happens here
Many homes in Wilmington Park and other older neighborhoods have copper pipe under the slab. After 40 to 50 years, the copper corrodes and develops pinhole leaks. The sandy soil shifts, which can also crack the pipe.
Our approach
We use acoustic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to find the leak without breaking the slab. We then repair the pipe with epoxy pipe repair or replace the section.
Why it happens here
The sandy soil on Wilmington Island shifts and settles, which can crack pool shells and plumbing. The high water table also puts pressure on the pool, causing leaks at fittings and seams.
Our approach
We use pressure testing and dye testing to find the leak. We also use a tracer gas leak detector for hard-to-find leaks. We repair the leak and pressure test the system.
Why it happens here
The long watering season and sandy soil mean irrigation systems run frequently. This wears out valves, heads, and lines. Freeze events in winter can also crack pipes.
Our approach
We use pressure testing and visual inspection to find broken heads, cracked lines, and valve leaks. We also check your backflow preventer and certify it if needed.
Why it happens here
Some Wilmington Island homes have older gas lines that corrode over time. The salt air accelerates corrosion. Gas leaks are dangerous and need immediate attention.
Our approach
We use electronic leak detectors and tracer gas to find the leak. We shut off the gas, repair the line, and pressure test it. We also check all gas appliances for leaks.
Wilmington Island's climate is humid and subtropical, with hot summers and mild winters. The seasons affect the types of leaks we see and how quickly they develop.
Spring brings heavy rains and rising water tables. This is when underground water leaks and irrigation system leaks become more visible. We also see more pool leaks as pools are opened for the season.
Tip
Check your irrigation system for broken heads and leaks before you start watering. If you see wet spots in your yard, call us for leak detection.
Summer is hot and humid, and pools and irrigation systems run constantly. Pool leaks and irrigation leaks are most common in summer. We also see slab leaks because the heat causes pipes to expand and contract.
Tip
Watch your water bill for spikes. If your pool is losing more than an inch of water per week, you likely have a leak. Call us for pool leak detection.
Fall is hurricane season in coastal Georgia. Heavy rains and storm surges can cause underground leaks and foundation shifts. We also see roof leaks after storms.
Tip
After a storm, check for new cracks in walls and floors. If you see them, call us for leak detection. Also check your roof for leaks.
Winters are mild, but occasional freezes can crack pipes. We see more water line leaks and irrigation system leaks after a freeze. Gas leaks are also more common because people use their heaters more.
Tip
Before a freeze, disconnect your garden hoses and drain your irrigation system. If you smell gas, call us immediately for gas leak detection.
