Slab Leak Detection Doesn't Require a Wrecking Ball

Picture
"It only cost half of what the other guy wanted to do the slab leak detection and then they wanted to tear up my driveway in order to fix the slab leak." (Taken from an actual Yelp review) That is not uncommon to hear from our customers. Sadly there are some real hacks out there who claim to be plumbers. In fact there is even a video of someone demonstrating how to to do a slab leak detection, tearing up someone's concrete slab with a pick and hammer first then a small jackhammer. It took him a couple of days to locate the leak!! Do NOT listen to this person whether homeowner or plumber or even attempt to do it yourself.

A water line repair under the concrete slab doesn't mean you must tear up your floor, so stop worrying. A qualified plumber will be able to quickly perform your slab leak detection and do the repiping of a new line in less than a day, without ripping up your beautiful floors. In fact if you chose to use Leak Star, it will be over before you know it and with minimal damage to your drywall.

That's right, your drywall. No cuts in the floor to fix to the slab leak. At Leak Star we find it challenging to be able to complete our repiping service with just a small handful of drywall cuts that will be easy to repair. Our all time record was one drywall cut that was not even visible because it was under the bathroom vanity, behind the kick plate. Honestly, that was not typical, but if it's possible, that's our goal. Usually it take about 3-4 drywall cuts, we try if we can to make our cuts inside of cabinets or closets. The number of cuts will also depend on whether or not you have a second floor or a vaulted ceiling without attic space.

However we have to do it, you can count on us using out decades of new construction experience to plot out just how that water line repair should be done.

Now, back to the slab leak detection. Instead of poking holes all over your house, we use state of the art leak detection equipment to literally see through your walls and concrete slab. We also have ultra sensitive listening equipment that can even hear a few drops of water. With this equipment and decades of experience we can usually locate the offending leaking water line in 20-60 minutes. 

The water line is totally abandoned because once a copper pipe line springs one leak, chances are very high that that same line will spring another leak and then another. A plan is then layed out to repipe or reroute a brand new water line overhead, snaking the new pipe through the wall, out of sight. We will run all unusual situations by you so that you know what is going on every step of the way. 

​If you have sustained water damage, we are also prepared to help you clean up that mess, with same service we would want for ourselves.

That's it! It really is simple. We also hear from our happy customers almost daily...."That's it? You're done? Oh wow! that's awesome:" Check out our Yelp reviews if you don't believe us, then give us a call 760-519-8466.
