Pressure and listening tests
With the water isolated, the provider watches for a drop in pressure. Listening gear then picks up the sound of escaping water and points to the spot.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in National City
A leak you can watch drip is easy to follow. One inside a wall, under a floor or below a slab needs equipment, which a provider uses to find it before any digging.
The work ends with a repair of the pipe that failed, whether the leak was under the slab, in a wall or along a line in the yard.
How leaks get found and fixed
Leaks under a slab
Under a concrete floor, a leaking pipe soaks the ground beneath. The plumber marks the spot, opens a small patch of slab and mends the pipe there.
Rerouting a failed line
A line under the slab that cannot be saved can stay where it is while a new one runs overhead through the walls or attic, which breaks less floor.
Yard line leaks
A line buried outside may leak with only a soggy patch or a higher water bill to show for it. The plumber follows the line and repairs the break.
Signs worth a call
A leak may show as a higher bill with no change in how you live, running water heard when everything is off, a warm spot on the floor or damp drywall.
Anything more serious may call for repiping or an emergency call, and the homepage covers the other plumbing work this site offers.
