Under-Slab Leaks
Water or sewer lines running beneath concrete foundations can crack, corrode, or separate at joints. The leak erodes fill material and can undermine the slab before any surface sign appears.

What It Is
What It Is
Leak detection uses electronic listening equipment, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to pinpoint water and sewer leaks hidden behind walls, under slabs, and underground — without tearing out floors or digging up yards on a guess.
Once we locate the leak, we camera the line to confirm the cause and scope, then quote a targeted repair.
Where Leaks Hide
Problems We Solve & Who Needs It
Water Supply Line Leaks
The supply line from the meter to the home runs underground and can develop pinhole leaks, joint failures, or frost damage that inflate water bills and saturate soil.
Who Needs Detection
Homeowners with unexplained water bill spikes, damp spots, warm slab areas, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off. Detection before demolition saves time and money.
How We Do It
Our Process
01
Isolate the System
We shut off sections of the water or sewer line to narrow which segment is leaking.
02
Electronic Detection
We use acoustic and electronic equipment to pinpoint the leak location through the slab or soil.
03
Camera Confirm
Where applicable, we camera the sewer line to confirm the cause and extent of the leak.
04
Mark & Quote
We mark the exact location and quote the repair in writing before any demolition or excavation.
We isolate the system, use electronic equipment to narrow the location, confirm with a sewer camera where applicable, and mark the exact spot so the repair is surgical rather than exploratory.
What We Detect
Types of Leak Detection
01 Slab Leak Detection
Electronic detection of water and sewer leaks running beneath concrete foundations — located without jackhammering on a guess.

02 Water Line Leak Detection
Locating leaks in the water supply line between the meter and the home, underground or under hardscape, before excavating.
Water Line Leak Detection →How Much It Costs
Cost
Leak detection cost depends on the type of leak and the complexity of the system. We quote in writing after the initial assessment. The detection fee applies to pinpointing the location — any subsequent repair is quoted separately.

Risks of Waiting
Risks of Waiting
A hidden leak left undetected erodes foundations, feeds mold, inflates water bills, and worsens until the damage is far more expensive to fix than the leak itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak under a slab?
We use electronic acoustic equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak through the concrete. Once located, we mark the spot so the repair is a targeted opening, not exploratory demolition.
How much does leak detection cost?
The detection fee depends on the type of leak and the complexity of the system. We quote in writing after the initial assessment. Any subsequent repair is quoted separately.
Can you detect a water line leak underground?
Yes. We use electronic equipment to locate water supply line leaks between the meter and the home, even under landscaping or hardscape, before excavating.
Do you repair the leak after you find it?
Yes. Once we locate and confirm the cause, we quote the repair in writing. No work begins without your approval.
What signs indicate a hidden leak?
Unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp spots on floors or walls, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or warm spots on a concrete slab.
Think you have a leak?
Think you have a leak?
We locate it electronically, confirm the cause on camera, and quote the repair in writing.
