Slab leak repair with minimal disruption to your floor.

Slab leaks happen when water or sewer lines embedded in or below a concrete foundation start leaking. In the North State, hard water, soil movement, and older copper or galvanized systems make slab leaks more common in homes built before modern plumbing standards. The signs are easy to miss until damage is visible: warm spots on the floor, wet carpet, mildew, cracks, or a water heater that runs constantly.

Attaboy Plumbing starts with pressure testing and electronic leak detection to confirm whether the leak is on the hot or cold side and where the strongest signal is under the slab. We mark the location, then choose the repair path that fits the home. A direct access repair removes a small section of concrete, fixes the damaged pipe, and patches the floor. A reroute abandons the failed line under the slab and runs a new line through walls or ceilings, avoiding repeated concrete work when the line is in bad shape.

For sewer leaks under a slab, we often use camera inspection first to see whether the issue is a crack, offset, or root intrusion, then recommend spot repair, lining, or replacement depending on the pipe material and length of damage.

If you have damp floors, unexplained warmth, or a musty smell that keeps returning, schedule slab leak detection before the foundation or flooring takes more damage. Call (530) 405-9708.
