Closet Leak Detection & Plumbing Repair in Lakeland, FL

Closet Leak Detection & Repair — Lakeland, FL (August 2025)

We were called to a residence in Lakeland, FL after the homeowner noticed a yellowish stain in a bedroom closet. Using thermal imaging leak detection and a calibrated moisture meter, we confirmed active moisture behind the lower section of the closet wall—classic signs of a slow, concealed water line leak.

After isolating the water supply, we opened a small, targeted inspection window to access the affected area. Our pipe inspection revealed deterioration at a joint. We performed a precise pipe section replacement using pro-grade fittings, thread sealant, and proper torque with an adjustable wrench and pipe cutter to ensure watertight connections.

With the repair complete, we conducted a pressure test and monitored for drops to verify there were no residual leaks. We then outlined water damage mitigation steps—air movement and dehumidification—to reduce the risk of mold and protect the wall assembly. This kind of early leak detection prevents small stains from becoming major water damage issues.

If you see unexplained staining, musty odors, or elevated humidity around closets or interior walls, schedule a hidden leak inspection. Our process-driven approach—diagnostics, minimally invasive access, pipe repair, and verification—keeps homes protected and plumbing systems reliable.
