What causes slab leaks? Typically slab leaks are copper pipes that have corroded over time. We have repaired copper pipes as young as 10 years and as old as 40 years. The rate of corrosion depends on the thickness of the copper as well as the soil conditions. We have even seen holes in pipes from lightning strikes.
How is a slab leak fixed? There are two ways a slab leak is fixed. The first way is to locate the leak with our state of the art equipment, break the concrete, and repair the pipe. The second way is to identify the pipe that is leaking, the fixtures it is serving, and disconnect that pipe from the rest of the system at it's point of disbursement. After assessing your particular situation we will present you with the best option to fit your lifestyle and budget. We will always let you know what we would do in our own house.
We're sorry that you may have a slab leak but when disaster strikes call a company that can attack the problem with care, expertise, and efficiency.
