Lake Park homes, shops and irrigation leaks

Quick answer

How do I check for a leak at my Lake Park home or business?

Water leak detection in Lake Park starts with a quiet meter check. Pause all water use, read the Seacoast Utility Authority meter, and read it again later. Movement means water is being used past the meter, though not always by a leak. Du-All Plumbing finds the source on your side. Call 561-623-3111.

Water leak detection in Lake Park, 33403, for homes around Kelsey Park and west of Old Dixie Highway and for businesses along Park Avenue, with water service from Seacoast Utility Authority.

Lake Park meters: what separate services mean for leaks

Lake Park is one of the communities in Seacoast Utility Authority's service area, and its Water Service Policy sorts services into categories that help explain what a meter can and cannot show.

Separately metered irrigation and pools are classed as non-residential service. If your property has its own irrigation meter, a leak in the sprinkler system will show there, not on the house meter.
Customer's installation covers the pipes, fittings, valves and fixtures on the customer side of the point of delivery, which by default is the downstream end of the meter coupling.
Private fire lines at commercial properties are owned, operated and maintained by the customer, with Seacoast owning the detector check assembly.
Leak credits may apply when an identified leak pushes use above the prior six-month average, for up to three recent cycles, after a written request with proof of repair. Seacoast decides.

Before testing, find out how many meters serve your property. Testing the wrong one gives a false all-clear.

What should I turn off before reading the meter?

Everything that can use water on its own. That means faucets and showers, but also the dishwasher, washing machine, ice maker, water softener, pool autofill and irrigation controller. A toilet refilling silently can throw off the result, so do a dye test in each tank first: a few drops of food coloring, ten minutes without flushing, and look for color in the bowl. Then note the meter reading or the position of its flow indicator.

EPA WaterSense suggests checking again after about two hours with no water use. If the reading changed, something used water. Repeat the test with the house main closed, if you have a shutoff that turns easily, to see whether the flow is inside the home or in the line outside. Do not pry up heavy lids or touch Seacoast's meter connections, and report a damaged box or water pooling at the meter to Seacoast.

Is the issue different for a Park Avenue business?

Commercial spaces along Park Avenue and elsewhere in town often have water uses that homes do not: restroom banks, kitchen equipment, ice machines, mop sinks and sometimes a separate fire line. Each is a possible source of continuous flow. A flush valve that does not close, a dishwasher fill valve that sticks or a leak in a back room can run for weeks before the bill reveals it. Testing has to happen when the business is closed and every water-using machine is idle, which often means early morning or after hours.

In a building with several tenants, a single meter may serve the whole property, and then a tenant cannot tell from the meter which space is losing water. The landlord or property manager usually controls shutoffs and decides how leak work is arranged. Our commercial plumbing page describes the work we do for businesses. Fire sprinkler systems are a separate specialty and are inspected by fire protection contractors.

Where do leaks hide in Lake Park's residential streets?

Lake Park's neighborhoods are mostly single-family homes on concrete slabs, with yards, some pools and irrigation. We do not assume any particular street has old or failing pipes; each house has its own history of repiping and repairs. What we see often is ordinary: toilet flappers, dripping hose bibs, leaking water heater relief lines and irrigation laterals. A leaking relief valve that drains to the outside or to a floor drain can go unnoticed for a long time.

When those are ruled out, the question becomes whether the water is escaping inside walls, under the slab or in the service line from the meter. Warm floor spots point toward a hot water line under the slab. A strip of lawn that stays soggy between the street and the house points to the service line. Our leak detection and repair page explains how we narrow it down.

How do I tell an irrigation leak from a house leak?

If your sprinkler system shares the house meter, turn the irrigation controller off, wait for the zones to stop, and repeat the quiet meter test. Keep in mind that the controller only stops scheduled watering; a stuck or partly open zone valve can still pass water, so a meter that keeps moving does not clear the sprinklers. A meter that stops when irrigation is off suggests the sprinkler side is involved. Walk the zones while they run and look for heads that bubble, spray sideways or never pop up, and for soggy patches between heads. A zone valve that does not close completely can let water seep out between scheduled cycles.

If the property has a separate irrigation meter, test it on its own with the controller off. Movement there points to the irrigation system rather than the house. We repair supply piping and valves that feed the system; sprinkler programming and head adjustments are usually handled by a landscape contractor.

What if the meter is clean but walls are still wet?

Then the water is probably not coming from a pressurized supply pipe. Drain lines leak only when fixtures are used, so a stain that grows after showers or dishwashing points to a drain, a shower pan or a tub overflow. Air conditioning condensate lines clog and overflow, wetting the ceiling or wall near the air handler. Roof and window leaks follow rain. Writing down when the water appears is the fastest way to sort out which trade you need.

We can inspect drains and fixtures to see whether one of them is responsible, and if the cause is in the sewer line our sewer line repair page covers that work. If the evidence points to the roof or the air conditioning system, we will tell you rather than open a wall unnecessarily.

What do I do while water is actively leaking?

Close the main shutoff or the fixture valve if you can reach it safely and it turns without force. Keep away from water near outlets, power strips and the electrical panel, and do not stand beneath a ceiling that sags or bulges. In a business, keep customers and staff clear of wet floors. Photograph the damage, then call for help. Leaks at the meter or in the street should be reported to Seacoast.

We locate and repair the plumbing. Drying the structure and replacing damaged materials may need a restoration company, and your insurer may want to inspect before anything is removed. We write a clear record of the failed part and the repair, which also fits Seacoast's request for documentation if you apply for a leak credit. You can reach us through our contact page or by phone.

Before you call

Lake Park leak detection questions, answered

Who is the water provider in Lake Park?

Seacoast Utility Authority. Its website lists Lake Park in its service area, and the Town of Lake Park appoints a member of Seacoast's governing board.

My property has an irrigation meter. Does that change the leak test?

Yes. A separately metered irrigation system will not show on the house meter. Test each meter on its own so a sprinkler leak or a house leak is not missed.

Can Seacoast reduce my bill after a leak?

Its Water Service Policy allows a conservation rate credit for an identified leak that raised use above your six-month average, for up to three recent cycles, after a written request with proof of repair. Seacoast decides.

How should a restaurant or shop test for leaks?

After hours, with every water-using machine idle, including ice makers and dishwashers. If several tenants share a meter, work with the property manager, since one tenant's test cannot isolate their space.

Is a leaking water heater relief valve serious?

It wastes water and can signal a pressure or temperature problem with the heater. Do not plug it. Call a plumber to find out why it is discharging.
