"I manage a few rentals in the OC and had a pipe burst recently. Called White Glove Plumbing and Joe came right out—super quick, professional, and kept me updated the whole time. As a property manager, reliable vendors are everything—and White Glove Plumbing really delivered. Great service and definitely my go-to from now on."

"Our water heater leaked out of nowhere and we were freaking out. Luckily, Joe showed up fast and took care of it. He was super friendly, explained what was going on, and had everything fixed up way quicker than I expected. Honestly, such a relief—definitely calling White Glove Plumbing again if we ever need plumbing help."

Slab Leak Detection & Repair


Ideal for

  • Warm areas on floors or meter spinning with fixtures off

  • Cupped hardwood, lifting tile, or damp carpet/baseboards

  • Hissing/running-water sounds and high gas/electric from hot-line leaks

  • Repeat pinhole patches on older copper or mixed-metal joints


What we do/install

  • Acoustic & thermal imaging + pressure isolation to pinpoint within inches

  • Repair options: targeted slab open/repair, overhead PEX-A reroute, or section replacement

  • PRV test & set (typically 55–65 psi) to reduce future leaks

  • Dry-out & restoration: dehumidifiers, containment, floor/wall repair and paint match


Why this neighborhood benefits

  • Historic slabs + copper are prone to pinholes; precise locating avoids unnecessary demo

  • Overhead reroutes protect original hardwood, terrazzo, and vintage tile


Typical timeline

  • Detection same day; most repairs/reroutes 1 day (complex finishes 1–2 days with coordinated restoration)


Sewer Camera & Trenchless Spot Repair


When we recommend it: Camera confirms cracks/offsets/roots in older clay laterals—common under tree-lined side yards.What it includes: Hydro-jet & descale, electronic locate, then CIPP spot liner or short pipe burst, plus discreet two-way cleanouts and City of Santa Ana permit/inspection.Why it fits here: Fixes the structural cause of backups while preserving decorative concrete, brick ribbons, and heritage trees.


Neighborhood Issues We See Most


  • Pinhole copper leaks under kitchens/baths and additions

  • High pressure / PRV drift accelerating leaks and fixture wear

  • Cast-iron scale near garage/mechanical transitions

  • Root intrusion at clay joints on long, low-slope laterals

  • Long hot-water runs to additions causing heat-loop leaks


Recent Jobs Nearby


  • Washington Ave / Freeman pocket: Warm hallway slab; overhead PEX-A reroute, hardwood preserved; PRV dialed to 60 psi.

  • Olive St bungalow: Musty baseboards; isolated hot loop, targeted slab open/repair + same-day dry-out; walls restored to match.

  • Near Lowell St: Holiday slow drains; scope showed offset at 74’. Jet + spot liner installed; driveway and brick ribbons untouched.


How We Work


  • Scope first, fix right: locate, pressure-test, and photograph before cuts

  • Floor/wall protection, clean containments, quiet jobsite, daily tidy-ups

  • One team for plumbing + water-damage & mold restoration

  • Historic-home friendly access and like-kind build-back

  • Permits/inspections handled; clear warranties and pressure logs on closeout


Frequently Asked Questions


Will you have to tear up my floors?


We prioritize overhead/through-wall reroutes using closets/soffits. If slab access is needed, cuts are small and restoration-ready.


How do you find the exact leak?


We combine acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to triangulate within inches, then confirm before opening.


Repair the leak or repipe the whole house?


If piping is mostly sound, a targeted repair is cost-effective. With multiple pinholes or mixed metals, a whole-home repipe prevents repeat damage.


What water pressure should my home run at?


Most Washington Square homes perform best at 55–65 psi. We test and set your PRV and document readings.


Can you handle the water damage too?


Yes. We provide dry-out, containment, and mold remediation, then restore drywall/floors so you’re back to normal quickly.

From our Santa Ana hub, we reach Washington Square via I-5 → 17th / Main / Washington in 10–20 minutes, traffic permitting. Primary coverage: 92706 and adjacent Santa Ana streets.
