Leak Detection & Repair

Water lines that run under a concrete slab can develop leaks from corrosion, abrasion or shifting soil. Using acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing and line tracing, we pinpoint the leak location to within inches, so the repair opens one small spot instead of a whole floor.

Once located, a slab leak is repaired one of three ways: direct access by opening the slab at the leak, rerouting the line through the walls or attic to abandon the section under the slab, or in some cases epoxy lining. We recommend based on pipe condition, cost and how invasive each option is.

Copper pipe develops pinhole leaks from pitting corrosion, often caused by water chemistry or poor original installation. A single pinhole is a quick repair, but multiple pinholes are a sign the copper is failing throughout the home and a repipe may be the better investment.

The main water line between the city meter and your house runs underground through the yard. Leaks show up as a wet spot in the lawn, a spike in the water bill or a drop in pressure. We locate the leak, excavate just that section and repair or replace the line.
