Overtown leak detection — what makes this neighborhood distinct
Miami's oldest Black community established 1890s as "Colored Town," anchored by Lyric Theater (1913). Historic African-American cultural anchor pre-dating Liberty City and post-I-95 displacement era For leak detection specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1890s–1950s frame vernacular + bungalow + post-i-95 redevelopment construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the galvanized + cast iron + selective modern pex-a supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Lyric Theater 1913 as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. Post-I-95 displacement context; modest housing stock surviving 1960s highway demolition.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Overtown
Seven detection technologies layered together produce pinpoint accuracy within inches before any cut. Different Overtown 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.
