Slab Leak Detection and Repair in Clearwater, FL

A leak under the slab is the repair homeowners dread most, and the fear is usually about the unknown rather than the work. Florida homes on slab foundations have supply lines running through or beneath the concrete, and when one of those fails the water has nowhere obvious to go. Finding it precisely is most of the job.

Locating the leak before anything is opened

We use acoustic and pressure equipment to pinpoint the leak rather than guessing at it. Getting the location right is the difference between opening one square of floor and opening a room.

• Acoustic listening and line tracing
• Pressure isolation to confirm which line has failed
• Marking the location and depth on the surface before any cutting
• Written findings you can hand to your insurance carrier

Spot repair or reroute

Once we know where it is, there are two honest options. A spot repair opens the slab at that point and fixes the failed section, which is usually cheaper if the pipe is otherwise sound. A reroute abandons the line under the slab and runs new pipe overhead or through the walls, which costs more but ends the problem for that run permanently. We will give you the real cost of each rather than pushing the bigger job.

Signs it is time to call

• A warm or damp patch on the floor
• The sound of running water with every fixture off
• A water bill that jumped with no change in use
• New cracks in tile or the foundation
