Non-Invasive Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Santa Ana, CA

Common indicators include unexplained spikes in your water bill, hot spots on tile or hardwood floors, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, damp baseboards, foundation cracks, and spinning water meter dials.

We utilize non-destructive diagnostic technology including ultrasonic acoustic microphones that detect pipe hissing beneath concrete, thermal imaging cameras to track hot-water thermal plumes, and helium tracer gas detection to pinpoint leaks within inches.

For older homes with multiple pinhole leaks in corroded copper, an overhead PEX reroute through the attic or walls is usually the most cost-effective and permanent solution because it completely bypasses the corroded underground line without breaking up finished flooring. For newer pipes with a single localized puncture, direct spot repair under the slab may be recommended.

Most homeowner policies cover "tear-out and access" costs to expose the leak, as well as resultant water damage restoration to floors and walls. The cost to repair the plumbing pipe itself is typically the homeowner's responsibility. We provide itemized insurance-compliant reports.

Orange County municipal water contains higher mineral content and chloramines that create pitting corrosion in subterranean copper pipes. Combined with shifting expansive clay soils and direct contact with acidic soil under concrete slabs, pinhole leaks frequently develop over time.
