Slab Leak Repair in Orange County: Fix It Once
Wet floor or warm spot? Request service or call us now.
Signs of a Slab Leak
Many Orange County homes are built on concrete slabs, so the pipes are out of sight. Watch for these:
- A water bill that jumps with no change in how you use water
- The sound of running water when everything is turned off
- Warm or hot spots on the floor, which can mean a leaking hot water line
- Damp, discolored or lifting flooring, or a musty smell
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Cracks or wet spots along the foundation or outside walls
A quick check: Turn off every faucet and appliance that uses water, then look at your water meter. If the dial or leak indicator is still moving, water is going somewhere. Call us.

How We Find the Leak
We confirm where the leak is before we open anything, so the repair is as small as it can be. Then we explain what we found and give you your options and a price.
Repair or Reroute: Which Makes Sense?
There are two good ways to fix a slab leak. We'll recommend the one that fits your house, even when it's not the bigger job.
| Spot repair | Reroute above ground | |
|---|---|---|
| What we do | Open the slab at the leak and repair or replace that section of line | Abandon the underground line and run a new one through walls, attic or above ground |
| Best when | One leak, and the rest of the pipe is in good shape | Old pipe, repeat leaks or hard-to-reach lines |
| Slab damage | Some slab opening | Little or none |
| Long term | Other underground sections can still leak later | Removes the underground line from the equation |
| Cost | Usually lower up front | Usually higher up front |
If your whole house has old pipe, repiping can solve the leak and everything behind it at once.

Slab Leaks We've Fixed
A Reroute in Anaheim
A homeowner in Anaheim had a slab leak. We pulled the old water lines out of the ground and ran them above ground, so they can't leak underground again.
A Leak Under a Parking Lot
We repaired a leak on a 1½" water line under a parking lot.
Slab Leaks and Insurance
Ask your insurance company whether your policy covers slab leaks and the damage they cause. Photos of the damage, your water bills and a written description of the repair can help.
Slab Leaks in Commercial Buildings and Parking Lots
Property managers and business owners have slab leaks too, often under parking lots, walkways or ground-floor units. We schedule work around your tenants and operating hours, and we send photo documentation and a clear invoice when we're done.
