Leak Repair

Residential Plumbing Leak Repair in Fort Myers, FL

Plumbing leaks can show up in different ways. Sometimes it is water under the kitchen sink. Other times it is a stain on the ceiling, moisture around a toilet, a leaking pipe, or water dripping from a drain connection.

​

At Lerma Plumbing & Drains, we provide residential plumbing leak repair in Fort Myers, Lee County, Collier County, and surrounding Southwest Florida areas. If the leak is visible, accessible, or showing signs that can be reasonably traced during service, we can inspect the area and explain your repair options.

PIN HOLE LEAK

Common Plumbing Leaks We Repair

Not every leak looks the same. Some leaks are easy to see right away, while others may require opening a cabinet, wall, ceiling, or access area to find the source.

We can help with common residential plumbing leaks such as:

  • Leaking pipes

  • Leaks under kitchen sinks

  • Leaks under bathroom sinks

  • Drain leaks

  • P-trap leaks

  • Supply line leaks

  • Shut-off valve leaks

  • Toilet leaks

  • Laundry room leaks

  • Leaks near visible plumbing connections

  • Water stains caused by accessible plumbing leaks

  • Leaks from exposed or reachable plumbing lines

If you see water, hear water, or notice signs of moisture, it is best to have the issue checked before it causes more damage.

Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak

A plumbing leak is not always a dramatic burst pipe. Many leaks start small and get worse over time.

Common signs include:

  • Water under a sink cabinet

  • Damp drywall or baseboards

  • Water stains on the ceiling

  • Dripping from a pipe or drain

  • Moisture around a toilet

  • Soft or swollen cabinet bottoms

  • Musty smells near plumbing areas

  • Water sounds when fixtures are not being used

  • Bubbling paint or damaged drywall near plumbing

These signs do not always tell the full story, but they are important clues that something may need attention.

Leaks Under Sinks

Leaks under kitchen and bathroom sinks are very common. The source may be a drain connection, P-trap, supply line, shut-off valve, faucet connection, or other plumbing connection inside the cabinet.

If you notice water under the sink, do not ignore it. Even a small leak can damage cabinets, flooring, and surrounding materials over time.

We can inspect the visible plumbing under the sink, identify the issue when accessible, and explain what needs to be repaired or replaced.

 

Drain Leaks

Drain leaks often happen under sinks, behind fixtures, or near visible drain piping. You may notice water when the sink, tub, shower, or washing machine is used.

Drain leaks can be caused by loose connections, cracked fittings, worn parts, improper installation, or damaged pipe sections.

We repair accessible drain leaks and can explain whether the issue is a simple connection repair or if a section of piping may need to be replaced.

 

Pipe and Supply Line Leaks

Water supply lines carry pressurized water to fixtures and appliances. When these lines leak, the problem can become serious quickly.

Supply line leaks may happen near sinks, toilets, laundry areas, water heaters, shut-off valves, or visible pipe connections.

If a supply line or pipe is actively leaking, shutting off the water can help prevent further damage until service can be scheduled.

Wall or Ceiling Water Stains

A water stain on a wall or ceiling can be a sign of a plumbing leak, especially if there is a bathroom, kitchen, laundry area, or plumbing fixture nearby.

In some cases, the source can be found by accessing the affected area or opening the wall or ceiling where the leak appears to be coming from. Once the leak is visible and reachable, we can discuss repair options.

Some hidden leaks may require additional access or further evaluation before the repair can be completed.

 

Toilet Leaks

Toilet leaks can happen around the base, near the supply line, at the shut-off valve, inside the tank, or from other parts of the toilet.

A leaking toilet can damage flooring, create odors, or continue wasting water if it is not addressed.

We can inspect the toilet and surrounding plumbing to determine what may need repair or replacement.

 

What About Slab Leaks?

Some leaks are hidden below the floor or under the concrete slab. These types of leaks usually require specialized leak detection equipment to locate before plumbing repair can begin.

If the concern appears to be a slab leak, a leak detection company may be needed first to locate the source. Once the leak location is identified and accessible, plumbing repair options can be discussed.

Honest Leak Repair Options

We believe homeowners deserve clear information and realistic options.

Not every leak requires a major repair. Sometimes the fix may be a loose connection, worn part, leaking valve, damaged fitting, or a small section of pipe that needs attention. Other times, the issue may require more access or a larger repair depending on where the leak is and what caused it.

We will explain what we see, what is accessible, and what options are available before moving forward.
