Slab leak repair in the SGV
Postwar slab homes are everywhere in the valley, and their under-floor lines are reaching an age where leaks show up. Text (310) 628-9399.
A valley of slab homes
Much of the SGV's housing went up between the 1940s and 1960s, and many of those homes sit on concrete with copper below.
We confirm a leak with the meter test, then isolate hot and cold.
Finding it
Acoustic and thermal methods mark the leak on the floor before any concrete is opened.
Repairing it
Spot repairs suit a single leak. Rerouting overhead suits lines with repeated failures.
We go over both before starting.
Condos and townhomes
Shared walls and stacked units add steps to locating a leak. We coordinate with the HOA when needed.
Access to neighboring units is arranged ahead of time.
Questions we hear around the valley
How do I test for a leak myself?
Turn off all water and watch the meter for movement.
Do condos get slab leaks?
Yes, especially ground-floor units.
