The Roads leak detection — what makes this neighborhood distinct
1922 C.W. Marsh diagonal-grid plat; Roads Historic District designated 1989. Architect-attributed Mediterranean Revival including Walter De Garmo, H. George Fink homes For leak detection specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1922–early-1930s mediterranean revival + mission + spanish eclectic construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the galvanized 95–100+ years + selective cpvc + pb cluster + modern pex-a supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Diagonal street grid (Beacom Blvd as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. GPS-routing diagonal-grid challenge; architect-attribution HPB documentation; Brickell-adjacent tear-down pressure.
Four repair pathways calibrated for The Roads
Seven detection technologies layered together produce pinpoint accuracy within inches before any cut. Different The Roads 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.
Quantifies + visualizesFour-step leak detection workflow
Every The Roads leak detection job follows this sequence — adjusted for the neighborhood's specific constraints.
