A slab leak is a pressurized pipe leaking beneath your concrete foundation. The first signs are warm floor spots, unexplained water bills, or water seeping at baseboards. Certified crews locate the moisture footprint with thermal imaging, extract and dry affected flooring and walls, and coordinate with leak-detection plumbers so the pipe repair and the drying happen in the right order.
West Palm Beach context: West Palm Beach faces Florida's intense water damage risk environment: the combination of peak Atlantic hurricane season (August–October), 55+ inches of annual rainfall, and year-round temperatures that accelerate mold growth creates a challenging claim environment. Roof damage from hurricane winds enables interior water damage even when properties avoid direct storm surge. Florida's aging concrete block construction (CBS) is highly resistant to wind but susceptible to moisture intrusion through aging stucco systems. The Florida Citizens Insurance program covers properties that private insurers have dropped in high-risk coastal areas — but Citizens has specific claim requirements that differ from private insurers.

Local Risk Notes
Northwood and El Cid Historic District sit at low elevation next to Lake Worth Lagoon and experience tidal flooding outside hurricane season. Flamingo Park and Pleasant City neighborhoods feature 1920s-1950s homes with aging drainage systems overwhelmed by intense South Florida storm events.
FL Insurance Tip
Florida's insurance market crisis has reduced Palm Beach County carrier options significantly. Homeowners need both wind coverage and a separate NFIP flood policy — standard homeowners policies exclude storm surge and tidal flooding regardless of carrier.
