What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a water leak beneath the concrete foundation of your home. It occurs when the water supply lines or drain pipes running under the slab develop cracks, pinholes, or joint failures — often caused by aging copper pipes, shifting soil, high water pressure, or chemical reactions between the concrete and piping.
⚠️ Why This Is Urgent
Slab leaks lead to high water usage and high water bills. Customers on well supplied water leads to over usage of your well pump and equipment. Hot water line slab leaks result in over usage and possible damage to your water heater. Homes built before 1990 with original copper plumbing are most susceptible. If you notice any signs of a slab leak, schedule a repair as soon as possible.

Our 5-Step Slab Leak Repair Process
We've refined this process over 48 years of repairing slab leaks across Citrus County:
1
Confirm the Leak
We recommend a professional leak detection company — we work closely with American Leak Detection — to confirm the leak location using electronic and acoustic equipment.
2
Pinpoint & Plan the Repair
After detection, we review findings with you and plan the most effective approach: direct pipe repair, reroute above the slab, or whole-home repipe if multiple leaks exist.
3
Access & Repair the Pipe
Our licensed plumbers carefully cut through the concrete slab, access the leaking pipe, and repair or reroute the water line using durable modern materials.
4
Patch & Restore the Slab
We patch the concrete floor and clean the job site. Our team takes care to minimize disruption to your home's flooring and living space.
5
Test & Verify
We test the repaired line to ensure restored water flow and safe pressure — verifying there are no further leaks before completing the job.
Our Slab Leak Repair Services
□ Slab Access & Pipe Repair
Careful concrete cutting to access and repair the leaking line — copper, CPVC, or PEX pinhole leaks, joint failures, and cracked pipes.
□ Water Line Rerouting
Reroute pipes above the slab or through the attic where appropriate — avoids future under-slab issues and may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
□ Whole-Home Repiping
If multiple leaks are found, a full repipe may be the best long-term solution. We offer free estimates for repipes in both traditional homes and mobile homes.
□ Concrete Patching & Restoration
Clean restoration of the slab area after repairs. We patch the concrete, restore access points, and clean the job site.
□ Leak Detection Coordination
We connect you with trusted detection partners like American Leak Detection for precise electronic and acoustic pinpointing before we begin work.
□ We Work With Your Insurance
Some Florida homeowners insurance policies cover water damage caused by slab leaks — including flooring, drywall, and mold remediation.
