Non-Invasive Investigation for Water Distribution Systems

We provide municipal leak detection for public water infrastructure using proprietary, non-invasive technology. American Leak Detection of Southwest Florida serves municipal decision-makers in Fort Myers, Florida, with a clear objective: locate suspected leaks in water distribution systems before excavation begins.

Our service covers Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers. Backed by more than 50 years of leak detection technology development, we operate as The Original Leak Specialist™ and bring an established approach to municipal infrastructure investigations.

Request a municipal leak survey for your water distribution system by calling (941) 297-5558.

Technology for Focused Municipal Investigations

Leaks beneath pavement, soil, and other surfaces may have no obvious point of origin. We use multiple detection methods to investigate the system and narrow the suspected source without beginning with broad excavation.

Our detection technology includes:

Acoustic listening devices: These instruments help technicians listen for sounds associated with escaping water.
Thermal imaging cameras: These cameras help identify temperature patterns that may inform an investigation.
Ground penetrating radar: This technology supports subsurface investigation where site conditions permit its use.
Electronic listening devices: These tools assist with focused listening during leak detection work.
Moisture meters and cameras: These devices provide additional information when evaluating suspected leak areas.

Our technicians select tools based on the conditions they encounter. Combining detection methods provides useful location information before a municipal crew or contractor begins disruptive field work.

Written Reports for Compliance & Capital Planning

Municipal infrastructure decisions require information that remains available after field work is complete. We deliver written reports built for compliance and capital planning, creating a record municipal personnel can use to review investigated areas, findings, and next steps.

We also coordinate the investigation around the municipality’s operational schedule. Municipal leak detection is planned to minimize service disruption while allowing our technicians to perform the required field investigation. We discuss scheduling considerations before service so the work can align with system operations.

Plan a Municipal Water Distribution Investigation

Public works directors, utility managers, and municipal engineers can contact us to discuss suspected leakage and the area of the water distribution system requiring investigation. We can explain the service scope and arrange the next step without making assumptions about excavation, repair work, or agency submission requirements.

Share the available system information and area of concern so we can begin planning the investigation.

Why Public Water Distribution Leaks Require Focused Investigation

Leaks in public water distribution infrastructure waste treated water and may demand urgent investigation when pressure or service conditions change. A focused leak survey allows municipal teams to evaluate the suspected source before committing personnel and equipment to excavation.

Pressure changes can also affect public service. Lee County Utilities issues Precautionary Boil Water Notices when main-line water pressure drops below 20 psi, typically because of a water main break or scheduled maintenance. A Precautionary Boil Water Notice advises customers to take specified precautions while water conditions are evaluated.

Records for Non-Revenue Water & Infrastructure Planning

Non-revenue water is water produced for a utility system that doesn’t generate revenue because of physical losses, metering inaccuracies, or authorized unbilled use. Leak investigation addresses the physical-loss side of this broader planning issue by identifying areas that may warrant repair evaluation.

Locating a suspected source before excavation allows crews to target field work to the investigated area. The findings don’t replace engineering judgment or determine a repair method, but they give municipal personnel information to consider when prioritizing maintenance and capital-planning decisions.

Written reports create a record of the areas investigated, field findings, and follow-up considerations. This documentation can support internal review, compliance and capital planning without implying that an agency requires a specific report format or submission process.

Fort Myers falls within the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District. Requirements and procedures vary by project, system, and responsible agency, so municipal personnel should evaluate findings alongside the standards that apply to their work.
