Nearly every home here sits on a concrete slab over ground that moves — expansive soil swelling and shrinking through drought-and-storm cycles, working on the copper lines beneath the foundation. Add hard water attacking pipe walls from the inside and decades of hot-line expansion cycles, and slab leaks become a when-not-if issue for older stock.
The tells: a bill that jumps with no lifestyle change, the meter creeping with every fixture off, warm floor patches (hot-line leaks are most common), running-water sounds in silent rooms, musty baseboards.
Detection is non-destructive now — electronic listening gear, pressure isolation, thermal imaging — locating the leak within a small area before anyone cuts anything. The fix becomes a targeted opening, not exploratory demolition.
A first leak in a sound system often warrants a spot repair — or, frequently smarter, rerouting that line overhead through the attic in PEX and abandoning the under-slab run entirely. A second or third leak changes the conversation: whole-home repiping usually beats paying for detections and floor repairs one leak at a time.
Detection plus a spot repair or reroute typically runs low-to-mid four figures; whole-home repipes run higher and are quoted per house. Homeowner's insurance often covers access and detection even when the pipe itself isn't covered — the pros we match document everything so your claim has what it needs. Numbers first, always.
