Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak or Slab Leak in San Clemente
- An unexplained increase in your water bill
- The sound of running water when all fixtures are off
- Warm spots on the floor (often a sign of a hot water slab leak)
- Damp carpet, flooring, or baseboards without an obvious cause
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Cracks in walls, flooring, or the foundation
Leak Detection for San Clemente’s Older & Newer Homes
- Older homes near downtown and the pier: Original plumbing in San Clemente’s older neighborhoods is more prone to corrosion-related leaks, both under slabs and behind walls.
- Coastal and hillside properties: Shifting terrain near the coast and on the bluffs can contribute to pipe stress and slab leaks over time.
- Talega, Forster Ranch, and Rancho San Clemente: Even newer homes can develop leaks from installation issues or ground movement, and early detection helps limit water damage.
What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a leak in one of the water or sewer lines running underneath your home’s concrete foundation. Slab leaks are typically caused by pipe corrosion, ground shifting, abrasion against the concrete or nearby gravel, or poor original installation. Because the pipe is buried under the slab, a slab leak can go unnoticed for a while, quietly causing water damage or foundation issues until it’s identified and repaired.
Our Leak Detection Process
- Assessment: We ask about the symptoms you’re noticing and review your water usage or meter readings.
- Electronic leak detection: We use acoustic listening equipment and other electronic tools to narrow down the leak’s location without unnecessary digging or demolition.
- Camera and pressure testing (when needed): For sewer or drain line leaks, we can pair leak detection with a camera inspection or water pressure testing to confirm the source.
- Upfront pricing: Once we’ve located the leak, you’ll know the cost of the repair before we begin any work.

Cost depends on the type of leak, how accessible the area is, and whether additional diagnostics like a camera inspection are needed. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, and free estimates are available.
How urgent is a slab leak?
Slab leaks should be addressed as soon as possible. Left unaddressed, they can lead to water damage, mold growth, and in some cases foundation issues. If you notice warm spots on the floor, unexplained water bill increases, or the sound of running water, it’s worth having it checked promptly.
