Living in Brevard County means hot, humid summers, mild winters, and plenty of afternoon thunderstorms. The area’s humid subtropical climate sees an average temperature around 72°F, roughly 48 inches of rain per year, and many warm, rainy days where soils stay damp and foundations are constantly exposed to moisture. Most homes here are built on slab-on-grade foundations, which help in sandy, low-lying areas but also mean much of the plumbing is buried under concrete—out of sight and easy to miss until damage is done.
A slab leak happens when a pressurized water line or, in some cases, a concealed line beneath the slab develops a leak. Over time, that hidden water can wash out soil, crack concrete, create warm spots on floors, raise your water bill, and invite mold or mildew.
At Inlet Mechanical, we provide professional residential slab leak detection and repair services for homeowners across Brevard County, FL. Using acoustic listening equipment, electronic leak detection, pressure isolation, and thermal imaging, our licensed plumbers pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption to your home. Once we find the leak, we walk you through repair options—from targeted spot repairs or tunneling under the slab to rerouting and repiping lines through walls or ceilings for a longer-term solution that’s easier to access in the future.
“We kept hearing water running and found warm tiles in the hallway, but nothing was leaking at the fixtures. Inlet Mechanical located a slab leak, tunneled to repair it, and checked the rest of the system. The floors are dry, our water bill went back to normal, and they didn’t have to tear up our whole house.”
— Rachel G., Homeowner, Melbourne
We combine advanced detection technology with Florida-specific slab plumbing experience to find leaks accurately, explain your choices clearly, and complete code-compliant repairs or reroutes that protect your Brevard County home’s plumbing, flooring, and foundation for the long term.
Because slab leaks are buried under concrete and soil, they often go undetected until you see floor damage, foundation cracking, or large water bills. If you notice these warning signs, scheduling professional slab leak detection early can help limit structural damage, reduce repair costs, and protect your Brevard County home’s foundation.
With humid air, frequent storms, and slab-on-grade construction, Brevard County homes benefit from fast, accurate slab leak repairs that keep moisture out of living spaces, protect structural concrete, and give you clear documentation of the work performed.
If you’re planning to protect your home before minor warning signs become major structural issues, professional slab leak detection and repair—or a well-planned reroute—can be one of the smartest plumbing investments you make in your Brevard County property.

Not usually. One of the main advantages of modern slab leak detection is that we can pinpoint the leak location before deciding how to access it. Depending on where the leak is and how your plumbing is laid out, options may include:
A small, targeted opening in the floor directly above the leak
Tunneling under the slab from outside to reach and repair the pipe
Rerouting or repiping the affected line through walls or ceilings and abandoning the old under-slab section altogether
During your visit, we’ll explain which options fit your Brevard County home, the pros and cons of each, and how we can minimize flooring removal and disruption as much as possible.
Coverage for slab leaks depends on your specific homeowners insurance policy and the cause of the damage. Many policies treat sudden and accidental water damage differently from long-term leaks or maintenance issues, and they may distinguish between access costs, plumbing repair, and damage to finishes. Because those details vary, it’s important to review your policy and speak directly with your insurance carrier.
What Inlet Mechanical can do is provide detailed invoices, photos, and descriptions of the leak location and repair, which many Brevard County homeowners share with their insurer when filing a claim. We’re also happy to coordinate timing with your adjuster or restoration company so your slab leak repair and any follow-up work are well-documented and organized.
