Hear from Our Customers
You get precise leak location without tearing up your entire slab. Our thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment pinpoints exactly where water is escaping beneath your Georgetown home’s foundation.
That means targeted repairs instead of exploratory demolition. You save money on unnecessary concrete work and get back to normal faster. Your floors, landscaping, and daily routine stay intact while we handle the real problem underneath.
When the repair is complete, you’ll know the leak is actually fixed—not just patched over. That’s the difference between a quick fix and a lasting solution.
CG Plumbing has been serving Georgetown and the surrounding El Dorado County area with reliable plumbing solutions. We’re locally owned, fully licensed and insured, with an A+ BBB rating that reflects our commitment to quality work.
Georgetown’s older homes and mountain location create specific plumbing challenges that require local knowledge. We’ve worked extensively throughout the area, dealing with everything from cast iron pipe issues to foundation shifts that affect underground lines.
Our team is fully vetted with background checks and drug testing. When we give you an upfront quote and arrival time, you can count on it. That’s how we’ve built our reputation as Georgetown’s go-to plumbing company.
First, we use specialized detection equipment to locate the exact source of your leak. Thermal imaging cameras and acoustic sensors pinpoint the problem without guessing or unnecessary digging.
Once we’ve identified the leak location, we’ll discuss your repair options. For many Georgetown homes, we can reroute the plumbing through walls or ceilings, completely bypassing the problem area under your slab. This prevents future leaks in that section and avoids major concrete work.
For leaks that need direct access, we make the smallest possible opening to reach the damaged pipe. After the repair, we test the system to ensure proper function and restore your concrete and flooring. You get a warranty on our work and practical advice to prevent future issues.

Your slab leak repair includes thorough detection using the latest technology, targeted repair work, and system testing to ensure the problem is completely resolved. We don’t just fix the immediate leak—we address the underlying cause.
Georgetown’s seismic activity and soil conditions put extra stress on foundation plumbing. That’s why many of our repairs involve rerouting pipes to more accessible locations, protecting your investment from future problems. This approach is often more cost-effective than repeated under-slab repairs.
We also provide emergency services for urgent situations. A slab leak can cause serious foundation damage if left untreated, so we respond quickly to minimize the impact on your home and your budget.
We use non-invasive detection methods including thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint leaks beneath your concrete slab. The thermal cameras detect heat signatures from hot water leaks, while acoustic equipment can hear running water through concrete and flooring.
This technology lets us identify the exact location of the problem before making any cuts. Instead of guessing and potentially damaging multiple areas of your slab, we know precisely where to access the leak. This saves you money on unnecessary concrete repair and gets the job done faster with minimal disruption to your home.
Georgetown’s location creates several factors that contribute to slab leaks. Ground movement from seismic activity puts stress on underground pipes, causing them to crack or shift. The area’s older homes often have cast iron or galvanized pipes that corrode over time, especially when exposed to certain soil conditions.
Poor original installation can also lead to problems years later, as pipes settle or connections loosen. Changes in water pressure and temperature cycles cause expansion and contraction that eventually weakens pipe joints. Georgetown’s mountain location means foundation settling is common, which can strain rigid plumbing lines beneath the slab.
Slab leak repair costs vary depending on the leak location, detection requirements, and repair method needed. Simple spot repairs might cost around $1,500, while more complex repairs can reach $4,500 or more. The key factor is whether we can reroute the plumbing or need to access pipes directly under the slab.
We provide upfront estimates after detecting the leak location, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Many Georgetown homeowners find that investing in a permanent reroute solution costs less in the long run than repeated under-slab repairs. We’ll explain all your options and help you choose the most cost-effective approach for your situation.
In many cases, yes. Our preferred approach for Georgetown homes is rerouting the damaged pipe through walls or ceilings, completely bypassing the problem area under your slab. This method requires no concrete cutting and actually prevents future leaks in that section.
When direct slab access is necessary, we use precise detection to make the smallest possible opening. We’ll discuss the repair method that makes the most sense for your specific situation and home layout. Our goal is always to minimize disruption while ensuring a lasting repair that won’t cause problems down the road.
We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent slab leak situations because we understand these problems can cause serious foundation damage if left untreated. For emergency calls, we typically respond within hours to assess the situation and stop further damage.
Even for non-emergency situations, we prioritize slab leak calls because early detection and repair prevent much more expensive problems later. We’ll work with your schedule to minimize disruption to your daily routine while addressing the leak promptly. Georgetown residents can count on us to respond quickly when you need help most.
Insurance coverage for slab leaks depends on the cause and your specific policy. Sudden pipe bursts caused by covered events like earthquakes or freezing may be covered, but gradual leaks from normal wear and tear typically aren’t. We recommend checking with your insurance company about your specific situation.
We can provide detailed documentation of the leak cause and repair work to support any insurance claim you file. Our experience with Georgetown’s common slab leak causes helps us identify whether the damage resulted from a covered event or normal aging. We’re happy to work with your insurance adjuster to explain the repair process and costs involved.
