Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Electronic leak locating, minimal-cut spot repair, and reroute options \u2014 with insurance-ready documentation from start to finish.
About this service
A slab leak is a pinhole or crack in a copper line buried in the concrete foundation. First signs are usually a warm spot on the floor, a spike in the water bill, or the sound of running water when nothing is on. Left alone, it undermines the slab and damages flooring.
We locate the leak precisely with electronic listening equipment and a pressurized-air trace — not by guessing and cutting. Once we know exactly where it is, you get options: spot-repair through a small floor cut, reroute the line overhead through the attic, or plan a partial repipe if there's a history of leaks.
We document everything for your homeowner's insurance — most policies cover the access and repair even when they don't cover the pipe itself.

Questions about slab leak detection & repair.
Warm floor spot, running-water sound with everything off, unexplained bill jump, or cracks/moisture around baseboards. We'll confirm with a pressure isolation test.
Most CA homeowner policies cover the access, tear-out, and dry-out — sometimes the repair itself. We provide the documentation your adjuster needs.
For a single first-time leak, spot repair is usually the right call. If it's your second or third, reroute or repipe is more cost-effective long-term.
