Slab Leak Detection in Weber County

A slab leak hides beneath your foundation. Rhino Rooter uses electronic detection to pinpoint it through the concrete, so the repair is a targeted opening — not exploratory demolition.

What slab leak detection is
What It Is

What It Is

Slab leak detection uses acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing to locate water or sewer leaks running beneath a concrete foundation. We pinpoint the leak through the slab so the repair opening is surgical — jackhammer only where the leak is, not everywhere it might be.

The Signs

When You Need It

Signs You Have a Slab Leak

Warm or damp spots on the floor, unexplained water bill spikes, the sound of running water when nothing is on, cracks in the foundation, or mold and mildew in areas near the slab. Any of these warrants a detection before digging begins.

How We Do It

Our Process

01

Isolate

We shut off sections of the system to determine which line is leaking.

02

Listen & Detect

We use acoustic and electronic equipment to locate the leak through the slab.

03

Pressure Test

We pressure-test the isolated section to confirm the leak location and severity.

04

Mark & Quote

We mark the exact spot and quote the repair in writing before any concrete is opened.

We isolate the water or sewer system, use electronic equipment to listen through the slab and narrow the location, confirm with pressure testing, and mark the exact spot for a targeted repair.

How Much It Costs

Cost

Slab leak detection cost depends on the home's plumbing layout and the complexity of the system. We quote in writing after the initial assessment. The repair itself is quoted separately once the leak is located.

Risks of Waiting

Risks of Waiting

A slab leak left undetected erodes fill material beneath the foundation, feeds mold growth, and inflates water bills. The longer it runs, the more concrete has to come up and the more structural damage accumulates.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you detect a slab leak without jackhammering?

We use electronic acoustic equipment that listens through the concrete to pinpoint the leak. We mark the spot so only that area is opened for repair.

What causes slab leaks?

Copper corrosion, shifting soil, poor original installation, and age. Northern Utah's freeze-thaw cycles and alkaline soil accelerate pipe degradation under slabs.

How do I know I have a slab leak?

Warm or damp spots on the floor, unexplained water bill increases, running water sounds with all fixtures off, or foundation cracks near plumbing runs.

Do you fix slab leaks after detecting them?

Yes. Once we locate and confirm the leak, we quote the repair in writing. No work begins without your approval.
