Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Slab leaks are common in older Palm Beach County homes with copper water lines run under the concrete. Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, or the sound of running water when nothing is on are all classic tells. We locate the leak with acoustic and thermal equipment, then walk you through the three real repair options.
Signs of a Slab Leak
- Warm or damp spot on a tile or concrete floor
- Water bill spiked with no new usage
- Sound of running water inside walls or under the floor
- Cracks in flooring or baseboards near a bathroom or kitchen
- Mildew smell in a closet on a slab
Repair Options
- Spot repair — open a small area of slab, fix the leak, close up. Best for a single, well-located leak in a line that is otherwise healthy.
- Reroute — abandon the leaking section, run a new line overhead through the attic. Faster and less disruption than opening the slab.
- Repipe — for homes with multiple slab leaks in the last few years, a full repipe usually costs less over 5 years than chasing spot repairs.
We give you a straight price for all three and let you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my leak is under the slab?
We test the system first. Sometimes what looks like a slab leak is actually a wall leak or an irrigation issue — better to confirm than to break concrete.
Is my homeowner insurance going to cover this?
Access and drywall/floor repair are commonly covered even when the pipe itself is not. We provide reports for your adjuster.
How long does a slab leak repair take?
A reroute is usually one day. A spot repair is a half-day plus concrete cure time.
