A slab leak – a leak in the water pipes beneath your home’s concrete foundation – can go unnoticed until it causes significant damage. Signs include unexplained water on floors, warm spots on concrete (from a hot water line leak), the sound of running water when pipes are not in use, or a spike in your water bill. Branded Tomorrow Plumbing specializes in slab leak detection and repair, helping you address these hidden leaks quickly to protect your property.
Accurate Leak Detection: Finding a leak under a slab without tearing up your floors is a job for professionals. Our team uses electronic leak detection equipment and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint the leak’s location within a few inches. For hot water line leaks, we may also use thermal imaging to trace the heat signature. This precise approach means we only open the slab where absolutely necessary.
Targeted Repair Techniques: Once we locate the leak, we determine the best repair method. Often we can jackhammer a small section of the slab and repair the pipe directly at the leak point (for example, replacing a section of copper pipe that has pinhole leaks). In some cases, rerouting the pipe is preferable – we cap off the leaking line under the slab and run a new line through walls or attic to bypass the bad section. We always discuss options with you to choose the least disruptive, most effective solution.
Preventing Future Leaks: Slab leaks can be a symptom of systemic pipe issues, especially in older homes with galvanized or copper pipes that have begun corroding. After fixing the immediate leak, we will assess the condition of your plumbing. If multiple leaks are likely, we might recommend a more permanent solution like a whole-home repipe to replace all old under-slab lines with new overhead lines. We can also apply trenchless pipe repair epoxy lining in certain situations to rehabilitate pipes without excavation.
Our crew works efficiently to repair slab leaks and will have your water running again as soon as possible. We also coordinate with restoration professionals if needed to dry out any water damage.
