Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Metro Atlanta
A leak under a concrete slab hides until it warms a floor, spikes a water bill, or pushes moisture up through flooring. We locate it acoustically and thermally before any concrete is opened, then repair or reroute the line and dry what the water already reached.

Know the signs
Symptoms of a slab leak
If any of these sound familiar, the problem is usually cheaper to fix now than after it spreads.
Warm spot on a floor with no heating source below
Water bill up sharply with no change in habits
Sound of running water when everything is off
Cracked, cupping, or lifting flooring over concrete
Musty smell or mildew along a baseboard
Pressure loss with no visible leak anywhere
How we work
How we handle a slab leak
- 1
Isolate and confirm
We isolate supply and drain lines to confirm the leak is under the slab and identify whether it is hot or cold side.
- 2
Pinpoint before cutting
Acoustic listening and thermal imaging mark the leak location so access is a small targeted opening, not an exploratory dig.
- 3
Repair or reroute
A single break in sound pipe gets a spot repair. A deteriorating line often costs less to reroute overhead or through walls than to keep chasing under concrete.
- 4
Patch, dry, document
We patch the slab, dry the affected flooring and framing, and photograph and log moisture readings for your insurer.
The details
Why slab leaks get expensive when they wait
Water under a slab has nowhere to go but out and up. It moves along the pipe trench, saturates the subgrade, and wicks into flooring, baseboards, and framing. What starts as a repair with a small concrete patch turns into flooring replacement and mold remediation once that moisture has weeks to spread.
Georgia clay compounds it. Saturated expansive soil under a slab moves, and that movement stresses the concrete and the rest of the plumbing in it. Locating and repairing quickly is meaningfully cheaper than restoring the damage afterward.
Repair and drying handled by one crew
Most plumbing companies fix the pipe and hand you to a restoration contractor, which leaves wet materials sitting while two schedules get coordinated. We do both, so extraction and structural drying start the same day the leak is stopped.
That also keeps the documentation consistent. One crew records the cause, the repair, and the moisture readings, which is exactly the chain adjusters look for.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you find a slab leak without breaking the floor?+
Yes. Locating is non-destructive: we use pressure isolation, acoustic listening, and thermal imaging. Concrete is only opened at the confirmed leak point.
Is a reroute better than repairing under the slab?+
Often, yes. If the pipe is old or has already leaked more than once, rerouting the run overhead or through walls avoids repeat concrete work and usually costs less over time.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?+
Policies commonly cover resulting damage even when the pipe repair itself is excluded. We document moisture readings and take photos throughout so your claim has what the adjuster needs.
How soon should this be addressed?+
Immediately. Under-slab water spreads through subgrade and flooring continuously, and drying costs rise every day it sits.
