What this visit covers

Plumbing for Remodels

  • Thermal Imaging: An infrared camera shows the temperature difference that water creates behind drywall, under tile and above ceilings, which narrows a leak to a small area without cutting a single inspection hole.
  • Wall, Ceiling and Foundation Inspection: Stains, bubbling paint and damp baseboards are symptoms, not locations. We trace them back to the supply or drain line that is actually failing, including leaks near the foundation.
  • Pressure and Isolation Testing: Water lines are pressure tested to confirm a leak exists, then hot and cold lines are isolated and tested separately so we know which system is losing water.
  • Underground Line Location: Acoustic ground microphones pick up the sound of water escaping from buried service and yard lines, so an underground leak is excavated in one spot, not along the whole run.

Why Howell Plumbing handles this in Volusia County

  • Slab Homes Hide Leaks Well: Much of New Smyrna Beach, from Forster Ranch to Talega, is built on concrete slabs. A pressurized line leaking under the floor can run for months before anything shows on the surface.
  • Coastal Air Is Hard on Copper: Salt air near the coast and aging copper in older Southwest New Smyrna Beach and Capistrano Beach homes lead to pinhole leaks that start small and spread inside walls.
  • Hidden Water Becomes Mold: Water trapped in a wall cavity or under flooring feeds mold and rots framing. Finding the leak early keeps the repair to plumbing instead of drywall, flooring and remediation.
  • Post-Repair Pressure Testing: After any repair we pressure test the system again. It is the only way to be sure there is not a second leak waiting on the same line.

A remodel moves drains, vents, and supplies. That is different from swapping a faucet. We do not publish design fees or a showroom address. The only published address is 554 Julia Street. Related work: Plumbing Installations and Water Line Services.
