Do you have to break the concrete to fix a slab leak?

Not always. Pipe rerouting bypasses the slab entirely by running new supply lines through the walls — no jackhammering. Epoxy lining can seal the leaking section from inside without breaking the slab. We present all options before you choose.

How long does slab leak repair take?

Pipe rerouting takes 1–2 days. Jackhammer-and-repair takes 2–3 days plus any concrete restoration time. Epoxy lining takes 1 day. Timeline depends heavily on which repair method is chosen.

Is a slab leak covered by homeowner's insurance?

Many policies cover sudden slab leaks and the cost of accessing the pipe (concrete cutting). Long-term slow leaks are often excluded. We provide full documentation of the leak cause, detection method, and repair for your insurance claim.

What are the signs of a slab leak?

Key signs: a warm spot on the floor (hot supply line leaking under slab), the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, a water bill spike with no usage change, damp or soft spots in flooring over the slab, and in advanced cases, a crack or heave in the concrete floor itself.
