Port Salerno leak tracing, from meter box to fixture
Quick answer
Who does water leak detection in Port Salerno, FL?
Du-All Plumbing provides water leak detection in Port Salerno. We confirm whether water is moving past your meter, rule out fixtures and irrigation, then locate the leak and talk through repair choices. Call 772-238-6456.
Port Salerno is an unincorporated community, so there is no town water department to call. For most homes and shops near the Manatee Pocket, water service comes through Martin County Utilities. Du-All Plumbing helps Port Salerno owners figure out whether a high reading is a real leak, a meter question, or ordinary use that went unnoticed.
Leak or meter error? Two different questions in Port Salerno
When a Port Salerno bill jumps, owners usually suspect one of two things: a leak somewhere on the property, or a meter that is reading wrong. Martin County Utilities, which serves unincorporated Martin County, has a defined process for the second question. Its meter test page says a customer concerned about accuracy can request a test through the County's request form. If the test shows the meter was inaccurate, the County sends an adjusted bill based on use over the previous 12 months. If the meter was working properly, the County charges $20 for the test on the next bill.
That fee is a good reason to do a simple check first. If the meter moves while every fixture, appliance and sprinkler is idle, the meter is probably reporting real flow and a test is unlikely to change anything. That is where we come in. If the meter sits still during a quiet period yet the bills stay high, the conversation with the utility makes more sense. We are not the County and cannot request a test for you, but we can help you understand which question you are really asking before you spend time or money on the wrong one.
How do you run a quiet-period check without touching County equipment?
Choose a time when the house will be empty or asleep, such as before bed and again first thing in the morning. Make sure the irrigation controller is off or skipped for that night, the dishwasher and washer are finished, and no one will refill a pool, wash a boat, or top off a fish tank. Note the reading you can see without disturbing anything, then compare it later. EPA's leak checklist uses a two hour no-use window, and a longer overnight gap simply gives a slow leak more time to show.
If the meter box is flooded, full of insects, or covered by a lid you would have to pry off, leave it alone and call us. The meter, its register and its lid are utility property. A customer can watch a reading; a customer should not dig around the box, loosen fittings at the meter, or try to shut water off using utility valves.
Could outdoor water use near the waterfront be the cause?
Many Port Salerno properties use water outside as much as inside. Hose bibs used to rinse boats, fishing gear or kayaks get opened and closed often, and a worn washer can drip into a planter for weeks without anyone noticing. Outdoor showers, irrigation zones along the lot line and garden spigots on the back of a detached shed are all worth checking before anyone assumes a hidden pipe.
Irrigation deserves its own test. If your sprinklers run from the house meter, turn the controller off and see whether the meter calms down. Keep in mind that switching the controller off stops scheduled runs but will not close a valve that is stuck open. A cracked lateral or a valve that will not fully close can leak continuously and leave a soggy patch that blends into a lawn after summer rain. When the meter quiets with irrigation isolated, a sprinkler contractor may be the right call instead of a plumber.
Signs inside the house that point to a supply line
Inside, we pay attention to patterns. A warm spot on a tile floor can mean a hot water line leaking under the slab. Water heater cycling more than usual, a hissing sound when everything is off, or a section of baseboard that stays damp after dry weeks all suggest pressurized supply rather than a drain. A toilet that refills on its own between flushes is a fixture leak, and a quick dye test usually confirms it; our toilet problems page covers the fixes.
Drain leaks behave differently. They appear only when a fixture is used, they do not move the meter, and they may smell. Condensation can mislead people too. A toilet tank that beads water on humid Florida days can drip onto the floor and look like a supply leak; why a toilet sweats explains that one.
What happens during a Du-All leak visit?
We start by listening to what you have already seen: the bill amounts, when the readings changed, any wet spots or sounds. Then we confirm the meter behavior ourselves, rule out fixtures and appliances one by one, and isolate branches where the valves allow. Once we know the leak is on the supply side and inside the property, we narrow the location using accessible points, the routing of the pipes and the physical signs in the building.
We give you a straight explanation of what we found. Sometimes the answer is a small fix under a sink. Sometimes it is a line under the slab, where you may have a choice between a spot repair and running a new line through walls or the attic. We describe the trade-offs and ask before any cutting. We do not promise exact pinpointing, a no-cut result, or a particular repair cost before we have seen the problem.
Is the water spreading fast? Do this first
Close the main shutoff on your side of the meter if you can find it and turn it by hand. Many Port Salerno houses have it near where the line enters the house or in the garage. Do not force it. Keep people away from wet areas around electrical outlets and appliances, and avoid any room where a ceiling is bulging. Then call 772-238-6456 or use our contact page.
Our job is finding and repairing the plumbing. Drying wet walls and floors is a separate step, often handled by a water damage restoration company, and if insurance is involved you will want to talk with your carrier. We will not tell you a claim will be covered, but we can document what failed.
What details help us plan a Port Salerno visit?
A little preparation shortens the appointment. Find the main shutoff on the house side of the meter and check that you can reach it. Note where the irrigation valves or backflow device are, if you have sprinklers. Pull your last few Martin County bills and compare gallons used, not just the total, so a summer of extra watering is not mistaken for a leak.
Tell us about any recent work: a new water heater, a replaced toilet, a dishwasher installed last month, or a plumber who worked under the house. New connections are a common source of slow leaks, and knowing about them lets us check those first. If your property has a detached workshop, boat shed or outdoor kitchen, mention it, because each adds piping that may run under the yard.

Before you call
Port Salerno leak detection questions, answered
Who supplies water in Port Salerno?
Port Salerno is unincorporated, and Martin County Utilities serves unincorporated Martin County. Check your bill to confirm your provider.
Will Martin County charge me if I ask for a meter test?
The County says there is a $20 charge on the next bill if the meter tests accurate. If it is inaccurate, the County adjusts the bill based on prior 12-month use.
Should I request a meter test or call a plumber first?
If the meter moves with everything off, real water is flowing and a leak check makes sense first. If it stays still yet bills are high, ask the utility.
Can a boat-rinse hose bib cause a high bill?
A worn hose bib can drip steadily for weeks. Check outdoor faucets and showers before assuming a hidden pipe.
Do you repair irrigation leaks?
We help confirm whether irrigation is the source by isolating it. Repairs to sprinkler zones are often better handled by an irrigation contractor.
Can you guarantee where the leak is before opening a wall?
No. We narrow it as closely as the evidence allows and explain the plan before any opening.
