A slab leak occurs when a pressurized water line buried beneath your concrete foundation develops a hole. The water has nowhere to go but up into your flooring or down into the soil, risking severe foundation settling and structural damage. Fixing these requires specialized detection equipment to pinpoint the break without destroying your entire floor.
We use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to trace the path of the underground pipes and locate the exact point of the leak. Once found, we present options: jackhammering a small section of the concrete to repair the pipe directly, or capping the buried line and rerouting a new pipe through the attic or walls.
Finding the leak requires patience and precision. If rerouting is chosen, you avoid the mess and dust of concrete breaking, though it may involve some drywall access. We will clearly explain the pros and cons of both approaches based on your home's layout.
In older homes with deteriorating copper under the slab, breaking the concrete to fix one leak often leads to another leak nearby a few months later. Rerouting the line overhead is usually the safer long-term solution.
Detection and isolation take a few hours. A direct repair can often be finished the same day, while a complex overhead reroute may take two days.
Many policies cover the cost of accessing the pipe (breaking the floor) and the resulting water damage, but not the plumbing repair itself. Check your specific policy details.
