Do you need slab leak repair is probably the first thing that crosses your mind upon finding wet carpet in your bedroom. Or maybe you have found a hot spot on your bathroom or kitchen floor. First call a "qualified" leak detection specialist who has the knowledge, equipment and experience to locate a slab leak.
Never trust anyone who comes into your home and tells you right off that you need to repipe your entire home without even doing any investigation. Unless you have had 1 or 2 slab leak repairs previously, repiping you entire home likely isn't needed. That explains the reason for the picture to the left. What does it have to do with slab leak repair?
If you hire a qualified leak detection company, they will be able to narrow down the precise leaking pipe responsible for your slab leak even if it can't be seen. Our specialists use the latest technology. Infrared cameras and highly sensitive listening devices.
Once the offending water line is located, our team will abandon that line, run a new line, usually making just a handful of drywall cuts in the process. You should not need to move out and the job should be complete that day.
From time to time, you will hear of concrete floors needing to be cut up in order to make the slab leak repair. In Southern California is a rarity to need to do that. Not that it never happens, but it is rare. I'm sure you would prefer a few drywall cuts as opposed to having your floors torn up and having a jackhammer in your living room. Sometimes insurance companies prefer tearing up the floors as opposed to a simple repiping of a single line. If that is the case, we have been very successful working with our customers insurance company.
Here is a slab leak repair done through an opening in the concrete floor. Another reason we do not recommend this is this.....only a very small section where the actual leak was happening. In our experience, once a copper line begins to fail, it will fail elsewhere along the same line sooner or later. That is why we recommend abandoning that entire length of pipe.
Give us a call 760-458-8958. We will be honest with you and give you a fair price. Check out our reviews in the column to the right.
