Hear from Our Customers
You hear water running when nothing’s on. Your water bill jumped for no reason. There’s a warm spot on your floor that shouldn’t be there.
These aren’t mysteries—they’re warnings. Slab leaks happen when water pipes beneath your concrete foundation start leaking, and they don’t announce themselves until the damage is already spreading.
Here’s what changes when we fix it right: Your water bills drop back to normal. That constant worry about foundation damage disappears. You sleep better knowing your Gold River home’s structure is protected from the hidden water that could undermine everything you’ve built.
We’ve been solving Gold River’s plumbing challenges since 2012, and we know exactly what homeowners here face. Your neighborhood has specific soil conditions, home construction patterns, and water quality issues that affect how slab leaks develop.
Every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing before they ever step foot in your home. We show up when promised, quote upfront pricing before any work begins, and treat your property with the respect it deserves.
Gold River homeowners choose us because we understand what’s at stake—your home is likely your largest investment, and protecting it requires more than quick fixes.
First, we confirm you actually have a slab leak using pressure testing and electronic listening equipment. No guesswork, no assumptions—just accurate diagnosis of what’s happening beneath your foundation.
Next, we pinpoint the exact location using thermal imaging cameras for hot water leaks or specialized acoustic equipment for cold water issues. This precision means we access only the area that needs repair, not your entire floor.
Then we present your options: direct repair for isolated leaks, pipe rerouting to bypass problem areas, or epoxy lining for smaller issues. We explain each approach clearly so you can make the right choice for your situation and budget.

Your slab leak repair includes comprehensive detection using non-invasive technology, precise location mapping, and repair options designed to minimize disruption to your Gold River home.
Gold River’s unique challenges—from soil movement due to seasonal weather changes to the aging copper pipes common in homes built in the 1990s—require specialized knowledge. We’ve seen how the area’s hard water accelerates pipe corrosion and how foundation settling affects pipe integrity.
Our service covers pressure testing to confirm leaks, thermal imaging for accurate location, professional repair using quality materials, and post-repair testing to ensure the problem is completely resolved. You get upfront pricing, clean work practices, and the confidence that comes from working with licensed, insured professionals who understand your neighborhood.
Watch for these specific signs: unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm or cold spots on your floor, or moisture appearing where it shouldn’t.
In Gold River homes, you might also notice your water pressure dropping or hear water running beneath your feet when walking across certain areas. Many homeowners first notice puddles forming outside near their foundation or soft, mushy spots in their yard.
The most reliable test is checking your water meter—turn off all water in your home, then see if the meter is still moving. If it is, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system.
Several factors common to Gold River create slab leak conditions. Many homes here were built in the 1990s with copper pipes that are now reaching the age where corrosion becomes an issue.
The area’s hard water accelerates this corrosion process, creating pinhole leaks over time. Soil movement from seasonal weather changes puts pressure on pipes beneath your foundation, and even minor ground shifting can cause pipes to crack or separate at joints.
Poor installation during original construction, high water pressure, or abrasion from pipes rubbing against concrete can also contribute. The combination of these factors makes Gold River homes particularly susceptible to slab leaks as they age.
Slab leak repair costs vary significantly based on the leak’s location, severity, and your chosen repair method. Simple spot repairs might run $1,500-$3,000, while more complex rerouting could cost $3,000-$6,000.
The key is catching the problem early. A small leak detected quickly requires minimal work, while a leak that’s been running for months might need extensive foundation repair, floor replacement, or even structural work.
We provide upfront pricing after our diagnostic process, so you know exactly what you’re investing before any work begins. Many Gold River homeowners find that addressing slab leaks promptly actually saves money compared to the alternative—foundation damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs that can cost tens of thousands.
Yes, our detection process is completely non-invasive. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing to locate leaks without breaking through your floors or walls.
For hot water leaks, thermal imaging shows temperature differences in your slab. For cold water leaks, we use acoustic equipment that detects the sound of escaping water. Pressure testing helps us isolate which section of your plumbing system has the leak.
This technology means we only access the exact area that needs repair, preserving your flooring, landscaping, and home’s interior. Most Gold River homeowners are surprised by how precisely we can locate problems without any exploratory digging or cutting.
Most slab leak repairs are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity and repair method chosen. Simple spot repairs often take just a few hours once we’ve located the leak.
The detection process typically takes 1-2 hours, during which we locate the exact problem area and determine the best repair approach. Direct repairs involving small sections of pipe can often be completed the same day.
More extensive repairs like pipe rerouting might take 1-2 days but offer long-term solutions that prevent future issues. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the repair is done correctly the first time.
Insurance coverage for slab leaks varies significantly depending on your policy and the cause of the leak. Many policies cover the damage caused by sudden, accidental leaks but not the cost of accessing and repairing the leak itself.
If the leak caused damage to your floors, walls, or belongings, that damage might be covered. However, the actual plumbing repair—breaking through the slab and fixing the pipe—is often considered maintenance and may not be covered.
We recommend contacting your insurance company as soon as you suspect a slab leak. We can work directly with insurance adjusters and provide detailed documentation of the damage and necessary repairs. Some Gold River homeowners have successfully claimed coverage, especially when the leak caused significant secondary damage.
