What Is Slab Leak Repair?
A slab leak is a water or sewer line leak beneath the concrete foundation. In Orange County, slab-on-grade construction was common from the 1960s through the 1990s, so many Santa Ana and OC homes have copper or other supply and drain lines under the slab. Leaks can be caused by corrosion, shifting soil, or age. Detection is done with electronic and acoustic equipment to limit unnecessary demolition.

Our Slab Leak Repair Process
Electronic Leak Detection
We use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak's exact location under your slab without unnecessary demolition.
Repair Strategy Consultation
Based on the pipe material, leak location, and your home's layout, we recommend spot repair, a partial or full reroute, or epoxy pipe lining—explaining costs and timelines for each.
Precision Repair Execution
If spot-repairing, we open a small section of slab, replace the failed pipe, and pour back the concrete. For reroutes, new lines are run through walls or the attic to bypass the slab entirely.
Leak-Free Verification
The repaired or rerouted line is pressure-tested, all access points are sealed, and we walk you through warranty coverage and any follow-up flooring work that may be needed.

Costs & Timelines — What to Expect
Slab leak repair cost depends on detection results, chosen method (epoxy, reroute, or direct access), and access. We give a clear quote after detection. Many repairs are completed in one to two days.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
We use professional leak detection equipment (acoustic, electromagnetic, thermal when helpful) to locate leaks under concrete. Repair methods include epoxy pipe lining where suitable, rerouting lines above the slab to avoid slab work, and controlled jackhammer access for direct repair. Materials and methods meet current code.

Risks of Waiting

- Unrepaired slab leaks drive up water bills and can cause additional pipe failures
Slab Leak Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
We use electronic and acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the leak location under the slab. That allows us to minimize the area we need to open for repair.
We offer epoxy lining where the pipe is suitable, rerouting the line above the slab to avoid slab work, or direct access with controlled demolition and pipe replacement.
Many Orange County homes from the 1960s–1990s were built slab-on-grade with copper or other lines under the foundation. Age and soil conditions can lead to leaks in those lines.
Not always. We prefer epoxy or reroute when possible. When we do need direct access, we limit the opening to the area identified by our detection equipment.
