Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Wilshire Square, Santa Ana

Slab Leak Detection & Repair

Ideal for

• Warm areas on floors; meter spinning with fixtures off

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

• Hissing/running-water sounds in quiet rooms

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

What we do/install

• Acoustic listening + thermal imaging to pinpoint within inches

• Pressure isolation by zone; map hot/cold/domestic runs before opening

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

• PRV test & set (typically 55–65 psi) and expansion control where required

• Dry-out & restoration: containment, dehumidifiers/air scrubbers, flooring/wall repairs, paint match

Why this neighborhood benefits

• Slab-on-grade + premium finishes demand small, strategic access; overhead reroutes preserve hardwood and vintage tile while stopping damage fast.

Typical timeline

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

Whole-Home Repipe & PRV

When we recommend it: Multiple pinholes or mixed galvanized→copper runs where spot fixes won’t last.What it includes: PEX-A home-runs or Type L copper (as appropriate), new PRV set to spec, isolation valves, angle stops/supplies, and restoration-ready close-ups.Why it fits here: Stabilizes pressure, eliminates brittle runs, and reduces future leaks in older bungalows with additions.

Neighborhood Issues We See Most

• Pinhole copper leaks under kitchens/baths and hallway loops

• PRV drift → 80–100+ psi spikes stressing pipes and fixtures

• Cast-iron scale near garage/mechanical transitions slowing drains

• Long hot-water runs to additions → temperature lag and heat-loop leaks

• Past “patch-and-paint” without true dry-out → lingering odors/mold

Recent Jobs Nearby

• Wilshire Ave near Flower: Warm hallway plank; thermal/acoustic locate → overhead PEX-A reroute via closet. Hardwood saved; PRV set to 60 psi.

• Baker St pocket: Musty baseboards by primary bath; targeted slab open/repair + same-day dry-out; walls repainted to match.

• Main & Edinger corridor: Repeat pinholes over 12 months; completed whole-home PEX-A repipe with isolation manifold—steady pressure, no leaks since.

How We Work

• Floor/wall protection, dust containment, quiet tools, tidy daily cleanup

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

• Permit/inspection handling; clear warranty and pressure logs at closeout

• Historic-home care: minimal, restoration-ready access

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you have to tear up my floors?

Often no. 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 without guessing?

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

Should I repair the leak or repipe the whole house?

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

What pressure should my home run at?

Most Wilshire Square homes perform best at 55–65 psi. We test and set your PRV and document readings to reduce future leak risk.

Can you handle the water damage and insurance?

Yes. We provide dry-out, containment, mold remediation, and direct insurance documentation (photos, moisture logs, estimates) plus full build-back.
