Royal Palm Beach leak detection for County water customers
Quick answer
Who provides water leak detection in Royal Palm Beach?
Du-All Plumbing provides water leak detection in Royal Palm Beach. We confirm unexplained flow at your meter, separate irrigation and fixtures from hidden pipe leaks, and trace the source before discussing repairs. Call 561-623-3111.
Royal Palm Beach homes in La Mancha, The Willows, The Colony and the rest of the village have lawns, pools and plumbing all drawing on the same water bill. Du-All Plumbing helps owners work out which of those is behind a high reading, and then finds and fixes the leak.
Who supplies your water in Royal Palm Beach?
The Village does not run its own water system. Its emergency contact list sends water and sewer problems to Palm Beach County Water Utilities, and notes that residents south of Southern Boulevard should contact the Village of Wellington Water Utilities instead. The County's water quality report confirms that its eastern region serves the Village of Royal Palm Beach. So the first step with a suspected leak is to check the name on your bill, because the County and Wellington have their own customer service lines and their own policies.
For County customers, the Department's customer service policy manual is worth knowing about. It lists leaks on the owner's side of the meter among the problems the Department does not repair. It also describes an Excessive Usage Credit for an abnormally high bill. The criteria include a reading at least four times the account's average monthly use over the past 12 months, more than 10,000 gallons in that cycle, high use that was not caused by an apparent or deliberate act such as filling a pool, frequent sprinkler use or a hose left running, a limit of once in three years per account, and a bill from within the past six months. The Department decides eligibility, and we cannot promise a credit. But those criteria explain why it pays to find the cause quickly and to know whether it was a hidden leak or ordinary outdoor use.
Is it the sprinklers, the pool, or a pipe?
In Royal Palm Beach, outdoor water use is often the biggest line on the bill, so it is the first place to look. A broken sprinkler head, a cracked lateral or a zone valve that does not close can run unnoticed, especially if the system waters before dawn. Check the controller schedule, watch each zone run for a few minutes, and look for heads that gush or keep weeping after the zone shuts off. A section of lawn that stays soggy through dry weather is a strong clue.
Pools add another variable. An automatic fill valve that tops off the pool will move the meter whenever the water level drops, whether from evaporation, splash-out or a leak in the pool itself. Pool shell and equipment leaks are a pool contractor's specialty, not ours. Turning off the auto-fill during your meter check helps separate pool use from household plumbing.
How do I check the meter safely?
Pick a two hour window with no water use. Turn off the irrigation controller, close the pool auto-fill if you have one, and make sure the dishwasher, washer and ice maker are idle. Read the meter if you can see it without prying the lid, then read it again at the end. EPA's leak checklist uses the same method. If the reading changed, water passed the meter, but the cause could still be a toilet, softener or appliance.
Do not dig around the meter box or touch the County's valves. The County's policy also covers one specific case: the customer is not responsible for leaks at or within three feet of the meter box if the Department changed or repaired the meter in the previous three months and the leak cannot reasonably be blamed on the customer. If you see water at the box after recent meter work, call the County first.
Signs of a hidden leak inside a Royal Palm Beach home
Once outdoor use is ruled out, we look inside. Toilets are the most common source of steady waste, and a ten minute dye test usually reveals a bad flapper; see our toilet problems page for fixes. Supply hoses to the washer, dishwasher and refrigerator come next. Hidden supply leaks under a slab may show up as a warm spot on tile, flooring that lifts, or a water heater that runs more than it used to.
Stains on ceilings and walls are not always supply leaks. Air handler condensate lines, shower pans, tub drains and roof leaks can all leave stains without moving the meter. If the meter stays still while a stain grows, we look at drains and condensate first.
What happens when Du-All comes out?
We review your bills and any meter readings you took, confirm the flow ourselves, and work through the system: outdoor fixtures, irrigation isolation if the valves allow, toilets, appliances, then branch isolation and hot versus cold comparisons inside. The aim is to narrow the leak to a small area before anything is opened.
If a slab or wall has to be opened, we explain where and why, and what the repair choices are. Sometimes rerouting a line is better than breaking up a finished floor. We do not promise a result with no cutting, an exact pinpoint, or a price before we know the cause. Our article on leaky pipes and water bills explains why even small leaks are worth fixing.
Water pouring in? Do this first
Close the house-side main valve if you can reach it and turn it by hand. Do not force it and do not operate the County's meter valve. Keep away from water near outlets, the panel and appliances, and stay out of rooms where a ceiling is sagging. Call 561-623-3111.
We locate and repair the plumbing. Drying wet drywall, cabinets and flooring is a separate job for a restoration company. The County's policy mentions a credit for high usage from acts of nature when documented, such as a line broken by an uprooted tree, but not root intrusion; ask the County directly if that might apply. See our mold growth article for why drying matters.
What records help if you plan to ask the County about a credit?
If you think a high County bill might qualify for a usage credit, keep good records from the start. Save the high bill and the twelve months before it, so the four-times-average comparison in the policy is easy to see. Write down the dates you noticed the problem and when it was repaired. Keep the plumber's invoice, which should describe what failed and where. If the cause was outside your control, such as a line broken by an uprooted tree after a storm, the policy mentions documentation such as photographs or an insurance claim.
Be honest with yourself about outdoor use. The policy excludes high use caused by filling a pool, frequent sprinkler use or a hose left running, so a month of extra watering during a dry spell is unlikely to count. If you are unsure, call the County's customer service using the official contact details and ask how your account would be reviewed. We can describe the repair, but the County decides.

Before you call
Royal Palm Beach leak detection questions, answered
Is Royal Palm Beach water from the County or Wellington?
The Village directs most residents to Palm Beach County Water Utilities and residents south of Southern Boulevard to Wellington Water Utilities. Check your bill.
What is the County's Excessive Usage Credit?
A one-time-in-three-years credit for an abnormally high bill that meets County criteria, including at least four times average use and over 10,000 gallons. The County decides eligibility.
Does a pool refill count toward a usage credit?
County policy excludes high use from an apparent or deliberate act such as filling a pool, frequent sprinkler use or a hose left running.
Will the County fix a leak on my side of the meter?
No. The County's policy lists leaks on the owner's side of the meter among problems it does not repair.
Do you repair pool leaks?
No. We can help confirm whether the pool auto-fill is driving meter movement, but pool shell and equipment leaks go to a pool contractor.
