Acclaimed Inspection & Advanced Leak Detection specializes in Riverside, Jacksonville, historic homes, water is our greatest ally and fiercest enemy. The neighborhood’s unique geology, paired with century-old plumbing, demands an advanced diagnostic approach to safeguard these architectural treasures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Historic Cast Iron & Slab Leaks
The iconic bungalows and Mediterranean Revival estates in Riverside frequently hide original cast iron drain lines. Over many decades, the hydrogen sulfide gas inside these pipes corrodes the top arch, while abrasive waste wears down the bottom, causing structural collapse under concrete slabs.
To pinpoint these hidden slab leaks without tearing up historic hardwood floors, we utilize non-invasive, advanced diagnostic tools:
    • Acoustic Listening Devices: Ground microphones amplify the distinct, low-frequency hiss of pressurized water escaping beneath a slab.
    • Thermal Imaging Cameras: Infrared diagnostics map anomalous heat signatures behind plaster walls or under tiling, exposing hot-water line breaks instantly.

Pool Leak Detection Near The St. Johns River

    • Backyard pools situated along the St. Johns River present a completely different engineering challenge. The local water table fluctuates constantly with the river’s tides, putting immense hydrostatic pressure on pool shells.
When a pool loses water, we must differentiate between normal Florida evaporation and a structural breach. Our specialized coastal protocol includes:
    • Electronic Leak Sensors: High-frequency scanning equipment detects microscopic structural cracks in the shell by tracking electrical currents grounding into the surrounding soil.
    • Dye Testing: Precision introduces a specialized colorant near underwater lights, returns, and main drains to visually track water movement through structural breaches.
    • Pressure Testing: Isolating and pressurizing the plumbing lines confirms whether the underground PVC has cracked due to shifting, sandy river soil.

Preserving Riverside’s history requires catching these subsurface threats before they undermine foundations. If you suspect an issue, scheduling an advanced diagnostic inspection early is key to preventing catastrophic structural failure.

“Experience is Everything”

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE

At Acclaimed Inspections, we strongly believe that “Experience is Everything.” There is no substitute for experience when it comes to inspecting homes, and James Cox (aka Jimmy Cox) has been working in the inspection industry for over 20 years now. He began his career as a home inspector in 2001, working under strict TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) standards.

Jimmy owned and operated his first Inspection business full time from 2002-2011 while also serving the Southlake Fire Department as a Fire Fighter/Paramedic until his early retirement for relocation purposes. After his permanent move to Florida in 2011, he quickly found himself back in the inspection business! There was a great need for quality inspectors here locally and his personalized inspection process, that exceeds the industry standard, quickly earned him the reputation of being “one of the best inspectors in North Florida”. His impeccable name recognition inspired the start of ACCLAIMED INSPECTIONS & ADVANCED LEAK DETECTION.

 

Today, he is excited to get to use his years of experience to help home buyers, sellers, and owners make the wisest decisions possible for themselves and their properties.
