Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak or Slab Leak

Leaks aren’t always obvious. Watch for these common warning signs:

  • 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
  • A musty or mildew smell without a visible source
  • Your water meter continuing to run even when no water is being used

If you’re noticing any of these, it’s worth having a professional locate the source before the damage gets worse.

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.
  • Targeted repair: We repair the leak with the least invasive approach possible for the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection & Slab Leaks

How much does leak detection cost in Orange County?

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.

How do you find a leak without tearing up my floors or walls?

We use electronic leak detection equipment, including acoustic listening tools, to narrow down the leak’s location before any digging or demolition. This lets us target the repair precisely instead of guessing.

How is a slab leak repaired?

Depending on the situation, a slab leak can be repaired by accessing the pipe through the slab directly or by rerouting the water line around the affected section. We’ll walk you through the best option for your specific situation and budget.

Is slab leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?

Coverage varies by policy and the cause of the leak. We recommend checking with your insurance provider, and we’re happy to provide documentation of our findings to support a claim.
