Accurate detection is the foundation of every good slab leak repair. We combine acoustic listening equipment, electronic leak detectors, and thermal imaging with pressure and meter testing to confirm the leak and narrow its location. The goal is simple: know exactly where the leak is before any repair work begins.
Rather than breaking concrete, rerouting abandons the leaking under-slab line and runs a new pipe overhead through walls, ceilings, or the attic. It permanently removes that section of pipe from the hostile under-slab environment. Rerouting is often the smartest choice when the piping shows a pattern of failure.
When the leak's location and the pipe's condition make it the right call, we open a focused section of slab to access and repair the pipe directly. The opening is kept as small as the repair allows, the pipe is repaired or replaced with proper materials, and the concrete is restored. This approach suits isolated leaks in otherwise sound piping.
Epoxy lining seals the inside of the pipe with a cured coating, closing pinhole leaks without opening the slab. It is a candidate when the pipe is structurally sound but suffering from pinhole corrosion. We evaluate candidacy honestly, because lining cannot fix collapsed, bellied, or severely deteriorated pipe.
Tunneling digs an access tunnel beneath the foundation from outside the home, reaching the leaking pipe without breaking interior floors. It is especially valuable when the leak sits under finished flooring or in a post-tension slab. Soil conditions and leak location determine whether tunneling is practical for your situation.
Hot-water lines fail under slabs more often than cold lines because heat accelerates corrosion and thermal expansion stresses the pipe. We isolate and test the hot side separately during diagnosis, and hot-side leaks often reveal themselves through warm floor spots. Repair options are the same as for cold-side leaks, chosen based on location and pipe condition.
After any slab leak repair, verification proves the fix worked. We pressure-test the repaired line, monitor the water meter for movement with fixtures off, and re-check the area for moisture. This testing is what lets us stand behind the repair with confidence instead of hoping for the best.
A slab leak that is actively flooding, undermining soil, or spreading across floors cannot wait. Our emergency response prioritizes confirming the leak and stopping the water, then planning the permanent repair. If you suspect an active slab leak right now, shut off your main water valve if you safely can and call (833) 713-2101.
Post-tension slabs contain tensioned steel cables that must never be cut without proper procedure. We identify cable locations before any concrete work and plan repairs that respect the slab's engineering. If your home has a post-tension foundation, tell us when you call so detection and planning account for it from the start.
Copper pipe under slab can sometimes be repaired in place when the damage is localized and the surrounding pipe is sound. We expose the section, cut out the failed portion, and join new copper with proper fittings and protection from concrete contact. Like all under-slab work, this follows precise detection so the opening stays minimal.
Acoustic listening is often the first detection tool deployed: sensitive microphones pick up the sound of pressurized water escaping, and the sound's character and location guide the search. We use acoustic equipment alongside electronic and thermal methods because each tool confirms the others. When they agree, we know where to repair.
