Slab Leak Repair
Slab Leak Repair
Slab leaks are one of the most common plumbing problems that may afflict your property. Since your water pipes are below your foundation, such leaks are usually hard to detect and go unnoticed for a long time. If left undetected and unrepaired, a slab leak can not only cause excessive loss of water but also affect the structural integrity of your property. Therefore, it is important to get it accurately detected and repaired by a professional at the first sign.

We utilize the most cutting-edge yet least invasive tools and methods to precisely detect the exact location of the leak and determine its severity and provide you with the best course of action for the repair.

The hardest part of the process is to pinpoint exactly where the leak actually occurs. We use least-invasive methods like electronic amplification equipment and electronic pipeline locators, and video pipe inspection to identify its exact location.
How Do We Repair a Slab Leak?
Once a leak in your slab is detected, we will provide you with all the viable solutions for a repair depending on its location and severity. No matter which solution is viable for your specific situation, we will work expediently to make your plumbing system leak-free. Three proven options to repair a slab leak include;
Trenchless Repair
Trenchless plumbing is the least invasive and most cost-effective method available to address a slab leak. We will create access holes in your slab and perform a camera inspection to determine the extent of the damage done to your pipes. If a trenchless repair is viable, we will place the epoxy pipe liner to seal the broken portions on the waterline. If your pipes are damaged beyond repair, pipe bursting, also known as pipe splitting, is another trenchless solution. The process involves inserting new pipes that are slightly bigger in diameter from existing ones.
Re-Piping/Re-Routing
When multiple pipes are damaged, you may either require re-routing of pipe or a re-piping to address a slab leak, both of which may involve breaking through the slab and installation of new pipes. A re-pipe is the best way to go if only a small number of pipes are needed to be replaced. Re-piping involves the removal of damaged pipes and replacing them with new ones.
Tunneling Under the Slab
If the extent of pipe damage is high and you still want to keep the integrity of your expensive flooring intact, tunneling is your best bet. The method involves digging tunnels under your slab and performing necessary repairs before the removed soil is returned.
