Slab Leak Detection & Whole-Home Repiping
Non-invasive acoustic & thermal diagnostics to pinpoint underground leaks beneath concrete foundations without breaking your flooring. Expert PEX & copper rerouting with complete insurance documentation.
Pinpoint Precision & Lifetime Pipe Solutions
Hot spots on your floor, unusually high water bills, or the sound of running water when taps are off? We locate in-slab leaks fast and provide clean overhead reroutes.
Non-Invasive Electronic Detection
We use advanced sonic ground microphones and FLIR infrared thermal imaging to trace underground water line breaches within inches—saving your floors and slab from exploratory jackhammering.
- Sub-Surface Ultrasonic Frequency Listening
- FLIR High-Resolution Thermal Heat Mapping
- Complete Insurance-Ready Leak Diagnostic Reports
Overhead PEX Line Reroutes
Abandon compromised under-slab copper lines entirely. We route flexible, corrosion-proof Uponor PEX-A through walls and attics for permanent peace of mind without ripping up foundation concrete.
- Zero Flooring Destruction or Concrete Jackhammering
- Expansion PEX-A Chemical & Chlorine Immunity
- Lifetime Uponor Manufacturer Pipe Warranty
PEX-A Expansion
Single Line Reroutes
When an isolated line fails, we abandon the leaking underground pipe in place and run a clean overhead bypass through ceiling cavities.
- Zero Concrete Jackhammering
- Clean Attic & Wall Cavity Runs
- 100% Permanent Leak Resolution
Pressure Defense
Main Yard Line & PRV
High municipal water pressure accelerates in-slab joint failures. We replace main service yard lines and install heavy-duty pressure regulators.
- Maintains Safe Pressure Under 75 PSI
- High-Flow Brass Pressure Regulators
- Protects All In-Home Plumbing Fixtures
Direct Access
Surgical Spot Repairs
For accessible leaks where full rerouting is unnecessary, we perform surgical slab openings and replace the compromised copper fitting.
- Precision Point-of-Leak Access
- High-Temperature Brazed Fittings
- Concrete Re-Poured Flush to Floor
Complete Leak Detection & Repiping Capabilities
Ground Microphones
Pinpoint high-frequency pressure vibrations beneath 4–6 inches of concrete foundation.
FLIR Infrared Scans
Map hot water slab leaks across tile, hardwood, and carpeted flooring with infrared imaging.
Nitrogen Decay Testing
Isolate and pressurize individual plumbing loops to verify hermetic seal and zero micro-leaks.
Uponor PEX-A Piping
Flexible, scale-resistant expansion PEX engineered to withstand hard water and seismic movement.
Insurance Reports
Itemized photo and thermal diagnostic reports formatted for rapid insurance claim approvals.
Attic Cavity Runs
Clean overhead routing keeping pipes out of corrosive foundation soil and concrete slab.
Pressure Regulators (PRV)
High-flow brass regulators with stainless steel strainers to protect fixtures and lines.
Drywall & Texture Match
Turnkey restoration including drywall patching, taping, texturing, and clean handover.
PRV Pressure Regulation & Foundation Defense
Prevent catastrophic slab breaches by regulating municipal water spikes and catching micro-leaks before they fracture concrete foundations.
Static Pressure Below 75 PSI
Excessive city water surges cause premature pinholes in soft copper lines beneath your concrete slab.
Early Acoustic Leak Auditing
Sub-surface ultrasonic listening identifies minor subterranean pipe friction long before floors feel warm or drywall damp.
Insurance Diagnostic Reports
We provide full acoustic and pressure test documentation directly compatible with major homeowners insurance adjusters.
Slab Leak & Repiping FAQs
Clear, honest answers from North San Diego County’s master plumbing specialists.
What are the most common warning signs of a slab leak?
Common indicators include warm or hot spots on your flooring, the sound of rushing water when all fixtures are turned off, unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp baseboards, reduced water pressure, or the water meter dial spinning continuously.
Will you have to break up my flooring to find the leak?
No. We utilize non-invasive acoustic sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint the exact location through the concrete foundation before any physical work begins, completely avoiding random exploratory jackhammering.
Should I repair the single leak or repipe the house?
If your home has original builder-grade copper from 15–20+ years ago, acidic soil and hard water often cause multiple pinholes across the same pipe run. In such cases, an overhead Uponor PEX reroute is far more permanent, cost-effective, and prevents future slab leaks.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover slab leak detection and repair?
Most homeowner policies cover the cost of locating the leak (leak detection) and repairing resultant water damage to flooring, walls, and drywall. We provide full itemized diagnostic reports with photographic evidence for your insurance adjuster.
