Slab Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks beneath your foundation don't go away on their own. Our electronic detection finds the problem, and our experts fix it without unnecessary excavation.
Warning Signs of a Slab Leak
Slab leaks develop slowly, but these signs indicate something is wrong beneath your foundation.
Water Bill Spike
Sudden increase in your water bill without explanation
Warm Spots on Floor
Unexplained warm or hot areas on your flooring or foundation
Running Water Sounds

How Slab Leak Detection Works
Modern leak detection uses electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint leaks without breaking up your concrete. Our technicians use pressurized nitrogen to isolate the problem area, then confirm the location with precision equipment.
The detection process takes 1 to 3 hours depending on your home's size and pipe layout. Costs typically range from 150 to 400 dollars, and the technician will provide a written report with the exact location and repair recommendations.
Once the leak is located, you can decide on the best repair approach. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that spot repairs and reroutes are possible, avoiding the cost and disruption of a complete slab repipe.

Why Southern California Homes Are Vulnerable
Southern California's combination of factors creates perfect conditions for slab leaks. Hard water at 150 to 300+ PPM causes mineral buildup and corrosion inside pipes. The expansive clay soil beneath homes shrinks and expands with seasonal moisture, stressing pipes and causing cracks.
Most Southern California homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s with copper or galvanized steel pipes. After 50 to 70 years, these materials are failing. Copper develops pinhole leaks. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside. Neither material is designed to withstand decades of hard water.
If your home was built before 1980, you are at risk. Early detection and repair can save you thousands of dollars in foundation damage and water damage to your home.
