Slab Leak Repair & Rerouting in Tucson, AZ

A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under or inside your home's concrete foundation. Most Tucson homes are built slab-on-grade, so supply lines often run beneath the floor where you can't see them.

We start with pressure testing to confirm a leak exists, then isolate hot and cold lines and use non-invasive leak detection to narrow down the location before recommending any repair.

It depends on the pipe's condition, the leak location, and whether there have been earlier leaks. A single leak in otherwise sound pipe can often be spot-repaired; repeat leaks or aging pipe usually make rerouting the line through the attic or walls the more reliable option. We explain both before any work starts.

Common causes include aging copper, hard water wear, pipe rubbing against concrete or gravel, soil movement, and high water pressure. Hot water lines tend to wear faster.

Check your water meter with every fixture off. If it keeps moving, call us. If water is pooling or the leak is severe, shut off the main valve and call right away.

Coverage varies by policy. Many policies treat access and resulting damage differently from the pipe repair itself. We can document what we find so you can discuss it with your insurer.
