— What's included

Every job. Same scope.

No upsells. No "extras." Quoted up-front, completed in full.

SCOPE.01
Electronic detection

We use acoustic and electromagnetic equipment to pinpoint the leak without excavation. This saves you thousands in unnecessary demolition and guesswork.

SCOPE.02
Minimal disruption

Strategic access points mean we fix the leak with the least possible impact to your floors. We plan the entry point to minimize cosmetic damage and restoration costs.

SCOPE.03
Full pipe repair

Code-compliant materials matched to your system. No temporary patches -- every repair is built to last the life of your home.

SCOPE.04
Pressure verification

Every repair is pressure-tested before we close up to ensure zero residual leaks. We run a 30-minute static test and document the results for your records.

— How it works

Three steps. One day.

01
Detect

Electronic leak detection pinpoints the exact location beneath your foundation. We mark the surface so you can see exactly where we'll need access.

02
Access + repair

Minimal opening, permanent repair with code-compliant materials. We use the smallest access point that allows a proper, lasting fix.

03
Test + restore

Pressure-tested for 30 minutes, surface patched, and fully documented for your records. You get photos, test results, and warranty paperwork.

— Common questions

Slab Leak Repair, answered.

How do you find the leak?
Acoustic listening devices and electromagnetic equipment detect leaks through concrete without demolition. We can pinpoint the leak location within inches before making a single cut.
Will you damage my floors?
We make the smallest opening possible -- most repairs require a 2x2 foot access point. We patch the concrete afterward and can coordinate with flooring specialists for finish restoration.
Is rerouting better than repairing?
Sometimes. If the pipe is old and likely to fail elsewhere, rerouting a new line is more cost-effective long-term. We'll give you an honest assessment of both options with transparent pricing.
How long does it take?
Detection takes 1-2 hours. A full repair with detection is typically completed in one day, meaning you're back to normal by evening.
