Slab Leak Detection and Repair
If you are dealing with a slab leak, it means there is a water leak under your concrete foundation. These leaks can go unnoticed at first but can quickly lead to structural damage, flooring issues, and increased water bills.
Plumbing Solution Specialist provides professional leak detection services to accurately locate leaks without unnecessary damage to your home.
What Is a Slab Leak
A slab leak occurs when a water line running beneath your concrete foundation begins to leak due to corrosion, pressure, or pipe failure. These pipes are often copper or older materials that degrade over time.
Because the leak is under the slab, it cannot be seen directly, making proper detection critical before repairs begin.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
- High water bill with no visible leak
- Hot spots on floors
- Sound of running water when fixtures are off
- Cracks in flooring or walls
- Musty odors or moisture buildup
Many homeowners first notice unexpected water bill increases before discovering the leak.
How Slab Leaks Are Detected
We use advanced equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the leak without unnecessary demolition. This includes acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, and thermal imaging.

When Repair Is Not Enough
If multiple leaks occur or pipes are deteriorating, repair may only be temporary. In these cases, upgrading the system with PEX repiping or copper repiping provides a permanent solution.
Compare materials like PEX vs copper to understand the best option for your home.
