Downtown leak detection — what makes this neighborhood distinct
Flagler Street Historic District designated 2011 with Olympia Theater (1926), Alfred I. duPont Building (1939), Walgreens Building (1936). Historic commercial core + 2005+ supertall residential boom anchored by Panorama Tower (868 ft, tallest in Florida) For leak detection specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1920s–39 flagler commercial + 2005+ supertall residential construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the mixed — galvanized historic + pex-a modern + smart-home water supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Panorama Tower 868 ft as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. Mixed historic + supertall context; Government Center workday scheduling; Metromover columns + Bayfront Park easements.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Downtown
Seven detection technologies layered together produce pinpoint accuracy within inches before any cut. Different Downtown buildings call for different repair pathways — we default to the least-invasive option that solves the problem long-term.
Acoustic ground microphone
Sensitive parabolic microphones detect high-frequency hiss through pinhole openings; calibrated separately per assembly.
Best on copperFLIR thermal infrared imaging
Surface temperature differentials caused by hot-water leaks visible through tile, wood, terrazzo.
Best on hot-waterHydrogen-nitrogen tracer gas
5%-H2 / 95%-N2 mixture, tunable diode laser detector confirms specific leaking run.
Confirms ambiguousBorescope camera + pressure decay
Flexible-shaft borescope visualizes inside wall chases; isolated pressure-decay testing quantifies leak severity.
