Leak Detection & Repair Serving Customers Throughout the Coastal Carolinas Since 1964

Leak Detection & Repair in Myrtle Beach, SC

Over 60 Years of Coastal Plumbing Experience, Backed by a Strong Warranty

Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves. By the time moisture appears on a wall or a floor feels soft underfoot, the damage behind it has often been building for weeks. In the Myrtle Beach area, coastal conditions make this worse: shifting sandy soils, slab foundations, and year-round humidity give leaks more places to hide and faster pathways to cause structural harm.

At Lucas Board Plumbing, we’ve been finding and fixing leaks for residential and commercial customers throughout Myrtle Beach, SC, Horry County, and the Coastal Carolinas since 1964. As a four-generation, family-owned company, we bring over 60 years of hands-on coastal plumbing experience to every service call, backed by a strong warranty, free estimates, and 24/7 emergency availability.

Non-Invasive Electronic Leak Detection

Nobody wants walls torn open or floors pulled up on a hunch. Our approach finds the source before any demolition begins, so the only area we open is the one that actually needs it.

Ultrasonic Acoustic Sensors

Using advanced ultrasonic acoustic sensors, our technicians detect the subtle sound frequencies produced by water escaping from pressurized pipes. Even when a leak is concealed beneath a concrete slab or behind finished surfaces, these tools let us accurately isolate the problem area without guesswork.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging identifies temperature variations caused by moisture intrusion. By scanning walls and floors, we can visualize hidden water flow or saturation and narrow the location down to the specific area that needs attention.

Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks, which occur in water lines embedded within or beneath a concrete foundation, are particularly common in coastal South Carolina construction. Precision location matters here: opening only the confirmed area can mean less excavation, lower restoration costs, and a shorter repair timeline. For Myrtle Beach properties, non-invasive leak detection is what separates a targeted fix from an expensive guessing process.

Once the leak is precisely located, we implement a repair appropriate for your piping material and site conditions. Whether the issue involves a water line beneath a slab or a concealed pipe behind a fixture, our goal is to restore system integrity while protecting your property’s structure and finishes. We match the repair method to the specific situation, whether that involves copper, PVC, or another material, because the right approach the first time reduces re-work and protects surrounding surfaces.

Warning Signs of a Hidden Leak in Your Home or Business

Most hidden leaks give off signals long before they become visible. Knowing what to look for can mean the difference between a targeted repair and a costly restoration project. Watch for these indicators:

Unexplained increases in your water bill without any change in usage habits
Damp, spongy, or discolored spots on walls, floors, or ceilings
Musty odors or visible mold in areas not exposed to direct water use
A persistent drop in water pressure throughout the property when no fixture is in heavy use
The sound of running water when all fixtures and appliances are off

In the Myrtle Beach coastal climate, high humidity accelerates mold growth and surface damage once a hidden leak takes hold. Early leak detection isn’t just about saving on repair costs; it’s about protecting the structure of the property itself.

Hidden leaks won’t resolve on their own and typically worsen over time, compounding both the structural damage and the cost of repair. If something seems off, a professional inspection now can cost far less than the alternative.
