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. Common causes include 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 water may experience overuse of well pump and equipment. Hot water line slab leaks result in overuse 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 have 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 who use electronic and acoustic equipment to confirm the leak location.
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.
