Leak Detection in Oriole, Lakes of Delray & Huntington Lakes: what to know
Villas and attached homes in these communities often share a wall, and sometimes a supply line, with the house next door. A leak that shows up on your side may start in your neighbor's plumbing. Leak detection shows which side it is on, which keeps the conversation with your neighbor and the association simple.
Homes here also commonly have their own irrigation zones or rely on community irrigation. If your bill includes irrigation, a plumber will separate it from the house lines before looking for a leak inside.

Before the plumber arrives
- Shut off the main and the water heater before leaving for the season, and ask someone to check the house.
- Note any damp spots on shared walls and tell your neighbor.
- Check whether your community has rules about contractors and work hours.
Leak Detection FAQs: Oriole, Lakes of Delray & Huntington Lakes
My villa shares a wall with a neighbor. How do we know whose leak it is?
Leak detection tests each home's lines separately. That shows which side the leak is on so the right owner, or the association, handles the repair.
What should I do with the water before I leave for the summer?
Shut the main valve, turn off the water heater and have someone check the home periodically. A leak check before you leave can catch problems early.
