The stakes
In a Luxury Home, the Leak Is
Only Half the Problem
The other half is how it gets found. A company that hunts a slab leak with a jackhammer costs you flooring that may be irreplaceable. We hunt with electronics, and open nothing until we know exactly where (and whether) to cut.
Confirm
Meter test and pressure isolation confirm a leak exists and which system it’s on: hot side, cold side, or irrigation.
Locate
Acoustic and thermal detection narrow it to inches. On hot-side leaks, infrared often reveals the plume through the floor without a single tool mark.
Present Options
Spot repair, reroute, or repipe, each with a flat price and an honest recommendation. You choose with full information.
Repair & Restore
The smallest possible access, a permanent repair, pressure-tested proof, and documentation for your insurance file.
Watch for
Seven Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
- A warm patch on tile or stone floors
- The sound of running water when everything is off
- A water bill that jumped without explanation
- Hairline cracks appearing in floors or baseboards
- Musty odor or cupping wood floors
- Loss of water pressure at multiple fixtures
- A water meter that spins with all fixtures closed

Good questions
Asked & Answered
How do you find a slab leak without breaking concrete?
Acoustic listening equipment, pressure isolation testing and thermal imaging let us triangulate the leak to within inches before any surface is touched. Only then do we open the smallest possible access, or reroute the line entirely and open nothing.
Repair or reroute, how do you decide?
A single accessible failure in otherwise healthy pipe: spot repair. Aging copper with a pinhole under expensive flooring: often smarter to abandon that run and reroute overhead through walls and attic, leaving your floors untouched. We price both and explain the tradeoffs.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
The resulting damage usually is covered; the plumbing repair itself varies by policy. Our written diagnosis, photos and moisture readings give your adjuster what they need, and we will speak with them directly if it helps your claim.
What does a slab leak cost to fix?
Detection is a flat diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair. Repairs range widely (a simple accessible fix versus a reroute are different projects), which is exactly why we quote flat-rate after locating it precisely, never a vague hourly guess.
