Slab & Hidden Leaks
Hidden leaks run under slabs, inside walls and in ceilings, where you only see the water bill or a warm spot on the floor. Finding them without guesswork comes first; then a spot repair, reroute or repipe.

Slab Leak Detection
Slab leak detection finds a leak in a water line under or inside the concrete slab without guessing. A plumber confirms the leak at the meter, isolates hot from cold, then pinpoints it with acoustic listening and thermal imaging so only one small spot is opened, or none at all if a reroute is the better repair.
Slab Leak Repair & Reroutes
There are three ways to fix a slab leak: open the floor and repair the pipe in place, abandon the leaking line and reroute a new one through the attic or walls, or repipe the house if several lines are failing. A reroute is often the lasting choice because it takes the line out of the slab entirely.
Pinhole Leak Repair
Pinhole leaks are tiny holes that corrode through copper pipe from the inside, often showing up as a stain, a drip or a spray inside a wall. A plumber opens the wall, cuts out the damaged section and replaces it, and checks nearby pipe. If pinholes keep appearing, a repipe usually costs less than chasing them.

Slab & Hidden Leaks FAQ
How do plumbers find a hidden leak?
They confirm it at the meter, isolate hot from cold and branch lines, then pinpoint it with acoustic listening and thermal imaging so only a small area is opened.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
Policies vary. Many cover the cost of accessing the leak and the resulting damage, but not replacing the pipe itself. Check your policy and document everything before repairs.
Is rerouting better than a spot repair?
Often, yes. A reroute removes the line from the slab so the same problem can't return there. A spot repair is quicker when the pipe is otherwise in good shape.
How many pinhole leaks before I should repipe?
Many plumbers suggest looking at a repipe after two or three pinholes in different locations, because more usually follow.
