Slab Leak Repair
A leak under your foundation won't fix itself. We pinpoint where it is, then reroute or repair the line so the water stops and your floors stay intact.
Signs you may have a slab leak
- A warm or hot spot on the floor, often in a hallway, kitchen or bathroom
- The sound of running water when every fixture is off
- A water bill that jumped for no reason, or a water meter that keeps moving
- Damp carpet, warped wood floors or cracked tile with no leak in sight
- Low water pressure, or a water heater that runs constantly (hot-side leak)
Step one: find the leak
We start with electronic leak detection to confirm there is a leak, tell whether it's on the hot or cold side, and pinpoint where it sits under the slab. Knowing exactly where it is lets us recommend the repair that makes the most sense instead of guessing.
Step two: reroute or spot repair
Reroute (most common). Instead of breaking through your floor, we abandon the leaking section under the slab and run a new line through the walls or attic, usually in PEX. It avoids jackhammering floors and moving furniture, and the new line is out from under the slab for good.
Spot repair. When the leak is in an accessible spot and the rest of the pipe is in good shape, we can open the floor at that one location, repair the pipe and close it back up. We'll tell you plainly when this is the better value.
If your home has had more than one slab leak, the pipes under the slab may be wearing out across the board. In that case we'll talk through repiping so you aren't paying for leak after leak.
What to do right now
If you suspect a slab leak, find your main water shutoff and turn it off if water is pooling or the meter is spinning fast. For a hot-side leak, turning off the cold supply to the water heater also stops it. Then call us at 951-696-7100. Our phones are answered 24/7.

Frequently asked questions
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
It depends on your policy. Many policies cover the cost of accessing the leak and the water damage, but not the pipe repair itself. Call your insurer, and we can provide photos and a written description of the repair for your claim.
Is rerouting better than fixing the pipe under the slab?
Often, yes. A reroute avoids breaking up your floor and takes the line out from under the slab permanently. A spot repair can make sense for a single, easy-to-reach leak on pipe that's otherwise in good shape. We'll explain both options.
How long does a slab leak reroute take?
Most single-line reroutes are finished in a day. Larger reroutes can take longer, and we'll give you a timeline with your estimate.
Will you have to cut drywall?
Usually a few small openings are needed to run the new line. We keep them as small as we can and leave them ready for drywall patching.
