Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Lake Elsinore

A leak in the water lines beneath your concrete foundation, known as a slab leak, can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage before you ever see a puddle. We use electronic and acoustic detection equipment to pinpoint exactly where it is, so we only open up what we have to.

For Lake Elsinore homeowners, that means we find the leak precisely and walk you through your options: spot repair, reroute, or repipe. Then we fix it with as little disruption to your floors and your life as possible.

Many homes here sit on a concrete slab with the water lines run underneath. The signs are a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water, or a meter that moves with every tap off. Homes in Murrieta and Temecula from the 1990s and 2000s are old enough now that a slab leak belongs on the list when the water bill jumps.

Slab leak work has two parts: finding the leak and fixing it. To find it, we use electronic and acoustic equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping under the concrete, so we can mark the spot before anyone cuts the floor.

Leaks that are not under the slab get the same approach. Leak Detection finds hidden leaks in walls, ceilings and yards when the water bill jumps or the meter moves with everything off. Ceiling Water Leak Repair tracks down the pipe or fixture above a stain and fixes it before the drywall gives out.

Once we know where the leak is, there are three ways to fix it. A spot repair opens the floor at the leak and replaces the damaged section. A reroute leaves the leaking line under the slab and runs a new one through the walls or attic. When the pipe is failing in more than one place, re-piping the house is the lasting fix. We lay out the options with prices, and you choose.

Before you call, check your water meter. Turn off every tap and watch it for a few minutes. If it moves, water is going somewhere. The EPA’s Fix a Leak Week page has more ways to spot household leaks. On site, we confirm the leak with a pressure test, locate it with our equipment and mark it on the floor. You get a price for each repair option before we cut anything, and after the repair we test the line again under pressure. Flooring and drywall repairs are done by other trades.

We find the leak before we cut, and you pick the repair with the prices in front of you. We will not push a re-pipe if a spot repair will hold, and we will tell you if it will not. A leak that is flooding the house gets a 24/7 response. We are licensed under CA License #1153282 and insured.
