Many homes are built on concrete slabs with water lines running underneath. When one of those lines leaks, the signs can be subtle: a warm spot on the floor, a cracked tile, the sound of running water or a meter that never stops. Ignoring a slab leak can damage flooring and affect the soil under the foundation. We use pressure testing and acoustic and thermal tools to find the leak, then lay out your options. A spot repair goes through the slab at the leak, while a reroute abandons the failed line and runs new pipe through walls or the attic. We help you weigh disruption, cost and the age of the rest of the piping.

Slab leak repair: common questions
Is it better to repair or reroute a slab leak?
A spot repair fixes one leak. If pipes are older and more leaks are likely, a reroute can make more sense. The age and material of your piping help decide.
Does a slab leak damage the foundation?
Water under a slab can affect the soil and the floor above it. Finding and fixing the leak early limits that risk.
