Slab Leaks in Oriole, Lakes of Delray & Huntington Lakes: what to know
Many homes in these communities are single-story villas with a shared attic or roofline. That makes overhead reroutes practical, but the route may pass over a shared wall, so the community may need to approve it first.
If you are away for the season, a slab leak can run unnoticed for months. A water bill that jumps while nobody is home, or warm spots found on your return, are signs to call for leak detection before more damage is done.

Before the plumber arrives
- Check with your community about approvals for work through shared attics or walls.
- Turn off the water heater if the leak is on a hot line.
