Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair in Los Angeles

A slab leak is a leak in a water line running under or inside your home's concrete foundation. In Los Angeles they're common in homes with copper supply lines poured into the slab. Hard water, soil movement, and abrasion against concrete eventually wear pinholes in the pipe.

No. Electronic leak detection locates the leak first, so if the pipe has to be opened it's usually one small access point. In many cases rerouting the line overhead avoids opening the slab entirely.

Turn off every faucet, appliance, and irrigation zone, then look at your water meter. If the dial or low-flow indicator is still moving, water is going somewhere. Call us and we'll find out where.

If it's the first leak on a line in good shape, a spot repair is often fine. If the line has leaked before or the copper is thin, rerouting is usually the better long-term value because the next pinhole is often close behind. We'll show you both prices.

Coverage depends on your policy. Many policies cover the resulting water damage and access costs but not the pipe itself. We provide written findings you can share with your adjuster, and our water damage restoration team can handle the dry-out.
