That unexplained spike in your water bill isn’t going away on its own. Neither is the wet spot you’ve been ignoring or the settling you’re starting to notice.
Slab leaks don’t announce themselves with dramatic floods. They work quietly, steadily undermining your foundation and inflating your water costs month after month. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes.
When we locate and repair your slab leak properly, your water bills drop back to normal. Your foundation stops settling. You stop wondering if that damp spot is going to turn into something worse. The constant worry about hidden damage? Gone.
We’ve been handling foundation leak repair across El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties for years. We know how California’s soil conditions affect slab foundations, especially in areas like Camanche North Shore where ground movement and settling are common concerns.
Every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing. We show up when we say we will, give you upfront quotes, and focus on fixing the actual problem instead of selling you services you don’t need.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for accurate leak detection, proper repairs, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job was done right the first time.
First, we use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint exactly where your slab leak is located. No guessing, no unnecessary digging. We map out your plumbing lines and identify the precise leak location before any repair work begins.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain your repair options. Depending on the location and severity, we might recommend spot repair, rerouting the line, or other solutions. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why before we start.
The actual repair process varies, but our goal is always minimal disruption to your property. We work efficiently, clean up thoroughly, and test everything to make sure the leak is completely resolved. You’ll know the job is done when your water pressure is restored and your meter stops spinning when no water is running.

Professional slab leak detection and repair involves more than just fixing the immediate problem. We start with comprehensive leak detection using electronic equipment that can locate leaks without destructive digging.
In Camanche North Shore, soil conditions and seasonal ground movement create specific challenges for slab foundations. We account for these local factors when recommending repair methods. Sometimes a simple spot repair works. Other times, rerouting the line away from problematic soil conditions makes more sense long-term.
Every repair includes pressure testing to confirm the leak is completely resolved. We also check for additional weak spots in your plumbing system that might cause problems later. The goal is solving your current leak and preventing future ones in the same area.
The most common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, wet or warm spots on your floor, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, or cracks appearing in your walls or foundation. You might also notice reduced water pressure or your water meter spinning even when no water is being used.
Some slab leaks are obvious – you’ll see water pooling or feel warm spots where hot water lines have leaked. Others are subtle and only show up as gradually increasing water bills over several months. If your water usage has increased without explanation, it’s worth having a professional leak detection service investigate.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll resolve themselves. Slab leaks only get worse over time, and the longer you wait, the more damage occurs to your foundation and the higher your water bills climb.
Slab leak repair costs vary significantly based on the leak’s location, the type of repair needed, and how accessible the problem area is. Simple spot repairs might cost less than major rerouting projects, but the “cheapest” option isn’t always the best long-term solution.
We provide upfront quotes after locating the exact problem, so you know what you’re paying before any work begins. The cost of professional repair is almost always less than the cost of ignoring the problem – especially when you factor in continued water waste, potential foundation damage, and the possibility of more extensive repairs later.
Many homeowners find that their water bill savings after repair help offset the repair cost over time. A slab leak that’s adding $50-100 to your monthly water bill costs you $600-1200 per year in wasted water alone.
Not necessarily. Modern leak detection equipment allows us to pinpoint leak locations precisely, which means we only access the areas that actually need repair. In many cases, we can reach the leak through small, targeted access points rather than tearing up large sections of flooring.
The repair method depends on several factors: where the leak is located, what type of flooring you have, and whether rerouting the line makes more sense than direct repair. Sometimes we can reroute plumbing lines through walls or ceilings to avoid floor damage entirely.
When floor removal is necessary, we work to minimize the affected area and coordinate with you on timing. Many homeowners are surprised at how small the actual work area ends up being compared to what they expected.
Most slab leak repairs take one to three days to complete, depending on the complexity of the job and the repair method chosen. Simple spot repairs on accessible lines can often be completed in a single day, while more complex rerouting projects might take longer.
The leak detection process itself usually takes a few hours. Once we’ve located the problem and explained your options, the actual repair timeline becomes clear. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If you’re dealing with active water damage or a leak that’s causing immediate problems, we can often begin work the same day. Our 24/7 availability means you don’t have to wait until business hours to get help with urgent leaks.
Properly repaired slab leaks shouldn’t recur in the same location. However, if your home has one slab leak, there’s a possibility that other sections of your under-slab plumbing could develop leaks over time, especially if the original installation used materials or methods that are now outdated.
This is why we inspect your entire plumbing system during the repair process, looking for other potential weak spots or signs of corrosion. We’ll let you know if we see conditions that suggest other leaks might develop and discuss preventive options.
Some homes benefit from partial or complete repiping to avoid repeated slab leak problems. While this is a larger investment upfront, it eliminates the ongoing risk of future leaks and the associated water damage, high bills, and repair costs.
Contact your insurance company as soon as you suspect a slab leak, but understand that coverage varies significantly between policies. Some insurance policies cover the cost of accessing and repairing the leak, while others only cover resulting damage to your home’s structure or contents.
Many policies don’t cover the leak repair itself, considering it a maintenance issue, but they may cover damage caused by the leak such as flooring replacement or foundation repairs. The key is documenting everything and getting professional assessment of both the leak and any damage it has caused.
We can provide detailed reports and documentation that insurance companies typically require for claims. Even if your insurance doesn’t cover the repair costs, addressing the leak quickly can prevent more extensive damage that would be much more expensive to fix later.
