Urgent - Call NowOur Slab Leak Detection Process
Non-invasive electronic detection pinpoints the exact leak location without unnecessary damage to your home.
Water Meter Test
We verify leak presence by monitoring your water meter with all fixtures off. Movement indicates an active leak.
Pressure Testing
Isolated pressure tests on hot and cold lines identify which system has the leak and approximate location.
Acoustic Detection
Sensitive listening equipment detects the sound of water escaping from pipes beneath your foundation.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras reveal temperature differences caused by leaking water, confirming exact location.
Video Inspection
When needed, we insert cameras into pipes to visually confirm leak location and pipe condition.
Slab Leak Repair Methods
We offer multiple repair options to match your specific situation and minimize disruption to your home.
Spot Repair
Direct access through a small opening in the slab to repair the damaged pipe section. Best for isolated leaks in accessible areas.
Tunneling Repair
Under-slab tunneling from outside the home to access and repair pipes without breaking interior floors.
Pipe Re-Routing
Abandoning the damaged pipe under the slab and running new lines through walls or attic. Permanent solution.
Epoxy Pipe Lining
Trenchless repair that coats the inside of pipes with epoxy, sealing leaks without excavation.

Most homeowners insurance policies cover slab leak repair if the leak was sudden and accidental, not due to wear and tear. Coverage typically includes locating the leak, access to the pipe, and repairing the pipe. We provide detailed documentation and work directly with insurance adjusters to help maximize your claim.
How long does slab leak detection take?
Professional slab leak detection typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your home's size and complexity. We use non-invasive electronic equipment including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact leak location without unnecessary damage to your home.
What repair methods do you use for slab leaks?
We offer multiple repair methods: spot repair (direct access through slab), tunneling (under-slab access without breaking floors), pipe re-routing (bypassing the damaged section), and epoxy pipe lining (trenchless repair). The best method depends on leak location, pipe condition, and your home's construction.
Can a slab leak cause foundation damage?
Yes, untreated slab leaks can cause significant foundation damage. Water erodes soil beneath the slab, creating voids that lead to settling, cracking, and structural issues. Early detection and repair prevents costly foundation repairs. If you suspect a slab leak, call immediately for inspection.
