Total Leak Detection provides comprehensive leak detection services throughout Kendall. From The Falls to West Kendall, our technicians know the area and respond quickly to protect your home.
Kendall's 1970s–90s ranch homes sit on limestone slabs with pools and irrigation that hide leaks until a floor warms or the bill jumps. We locate under-slab supply lines and pool returns in The Falls, Kendale Lakes, and West Kendall without opening the whole living room—so you know whether to call a plumber or watch one more cycle.
Why Kendall Chooses Us
Kendall leak calls are usually slab, pool, or irrigation—not a dripping faucet. We locate the line under the pad or the patio return first, so The Falls and West Kendall homeowners are not paying to tear out a floor on a guess.
Typical Kendall finding: pinhole copper under the living-room slab after decades of irrigation and pool chemistry, or a leaking return under the lanai. Acoustic and thermal locating marks one spot. If the yard is wet and the house is quiet, we check irrigation before anyone opens the slab.
Understanding Kendall's Unique Challenges
Subtropical with consistent humidity and seasonal heavy rains affecting slab foundations.
Common risks in Kendall:
- •Slab leaks in 1970s-90s homes
- •Pool and irrigation leaks
- •Limestone foundation issues
- •Hurricane damage to plumbing
Large suburban area with mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments. Many single-family homes with pools and extensive irrigation.
Common mold scenarios we assess in Kendall
Beyond a standard walkthrough, we connect symptoms to the places mold hides in Florida homes—HVAC, kitchens, closets, crawlspaces, and wall cavities.
AC & ductwork mold
Condensation in air handlers, coils, and ducts spreads spores every time the system runs. We inspect accessible HVAC components and use air sampling when duct contamination is suspected.
Kitchen mold
Leaks under sinks, at dishwashers, and behind refrigerators create hidden moisture. We map wet areas and sample where food-prep surfaces may be affected.
Closet & enclosed spaces
Poor airflow on exterior walls leads to surface mold on contents and drywall. Thermal imaging and moisture readings help locate the moisture source.
Crawlspace & subfloor
Ground moisture and stack effect can pull mold spores into living areas. Crawlspace conditions are assessed relative to indoor air when symptoms suggest below-grade sources.
Hidden mold
When you smell mold or had water damage but see nothing obvious, we combine history, moisture mapping, and lab-backed sampling to target wall and cavity risks.

Mold Testing FAQs for Kendall
Get answers to common questions about our services
Those ranches sit on limestone with original copper that has seen decades of pool chemicals, irrigation pressure, and settling. Warm floors, a bill that jumped with no guests, or water you can hear with fixtures off are the usual signs. We locate under the slab before anyone jackhammers the living room.
A wet lawn when neighbors are dry, or a pool that loses water with the auto-fill off, often points to a return or irrigation main—not the house supply. A warm interior floor or running-water sound with everything off points under the slab. We check both so you do not pay for the wrong repair.
