What are common signs of a hidden leak?

Unexplained increases in water bills, damp spots, warm areas on floors, mold growth, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off.

What is a slab leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe beneath the concrete foundation begins leaking. These leaks can cause damage to flooring, foundations, and surrounding structures if not addressed.

Do slab leaks always require breaking the slab?

Not always. In some cases, re-routing the line or accessing the pipe from another location may be the better option. We’ll explain what makes sense once the leak is located.

How long does leak detection take?

Most leak detection visits can be completed in a single appointment, depending on the complexity of the issue.

Is leak detection an emergency service?

Active leaks or signs of ongoing damage should be addressed quickly. We offer 24/7 service for urgent leak situations.
