Undetected water leaks can end up costing insurance companies in Florida and Georgia, as well as home owners, tons of money in damages. Detecting water leaks without damaging property can significantly reduce the cost.
The Leak Doctor partners with insurance professionals to find the source of a leak, whether it’s hiding behind or beneath a floor, lurking in a wall, or seeping under a cement slab, no matter how or where it is concealed, our trained technicians can locate it and minimize restoration expenses. We utilize the latest technology and equipment to locate your leak fast, accurately, and in a non-invasive manner.
The Leak Doctor reports are electronically created and available online for insurance professionals within 24 hours or same day as the service call. These reports will assist you in determining loss coverage and help develop accurate cost estimates that will reduce the total claim payout.
