When we fix your slab leak, you’re not just stopping water damage. You’re preventing the foundation cracks, structural shifts, and five-figure repair bills that come when these leaks go unchecked.
No more watching your water bill climb month after month. No more wondering if that damp spot on your floor means disaster lurking beneath your concrete. No more losing sleep over whether your home’s foundation is slowly deteriorating.
You get a properly functioning plumbing system, a dry foundation, and the confidence that comes from knowing the job was done right the first time. Your home stays structurally sound, your water bills return to normal, and you can focus on what matters instead of worrying about hidden damage spreading under your feet.
We’ve been serving Camino and El Dorado County for years, and we know exactly what your home is up against. California’s shifting soil, seasonal ground movement, and hard water don’t just affect your pipes randomly—they create predictable stress points that we’ve learned to identify and address.
We’re not a big corporate outfit that treats every job the same. We’re your neighbors, licensed and insured, with every technician background-checked and drug-tested. We understand that rural El Dorado County properties often deal with septic systems, well water, and unique foundation challenges that require local expertise.
When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who’ve seen what Camino’s soil conditions do to pipes over time, and we know how to fix it permanently instead of just patching the problem.
First, we use electronic leak detection and infrared imaging to pinpoint exactly where your leak is located. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging, no multiple attempts that drive up your costs. Our specialized equipment finds the problem fast.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes a pipe reroute through your walls or ceiling is more cost-effective than breaking through your slab. Sometimes a targeted repair is the right call. We give you the facts and let you decide.
Then we execute the repair using proven techniques and quality materials. We’re not interested in temporary fixes that bring us back to your house in six months. We want this problem solved permanently so you can move on with your life.

Your slab leak repair includes professional leak detection, detailed repair options, and permanent solutions designed for El Dorado County’s specific conditions. We handle both hot and cold water line leaks, whether they’re caused by ground movement, pipe corrosion, or the mineral-heavy water common in our area.
Camino’s rural location means many homes were built with unique plumbing configurations, and we’ve worked on everything from standard residential slabs to custom foundation designs. We understand how seasonal temperature changes affect your pipes and how the area’s hard water accelerates wear on copper and other materials.
Every repair comes with upfront pricing—no hidden fees or surprise charges after we start the work. We show up on time, work efficiently, and clean up after ourselves. Most importantly, we fix the underlying problem, not just the symptom, so you don’t end up dealing with the same issue in a different spot six months from now.
Slab leak repair costs in Camino typically range from $630 to $4,400, with most homeowners paying around $2,280. The final cost depends on the leak’s location, how accessible it is, and whether we can reroute pipes instead of breaking through your slab.
Detection alone runs $150-$400, but this upfront investment saves you from the guesswork and multiple repair attempts that can push costs into five figures. We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The key is catching slab leaks early. The longer they go undetected, the more damage they cause to your foundation, and the more expensive repairs become.
The most common sign is an unexplained spike in your water bill. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has jumped significantly, there’s likely water escaping somewhere under your slab.
You might also notice damp or wet spots on your floors, especially on ground level areas. Hot water slab leaks often create warm spots on your floor that you can feel with your bare feet. Some homeowners hear the sound of running water when all taps are turned off.
Other warning signs include low water pressure, cracks appearing in your walls or floors, or areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy. If you notice any of these symptoms, call us immediately—early detection prevents major foundation damage.
Yes, pipe rerouting is often our preferred solution because it’s less invasive and frequently more cost-effective than traditional slab repairs. Instead of jackhammering through your concrete, we run new pipes through your walls, ceiling, or attic space.
This approach completely bypasses the problematic area under your slab and eliminates the possibility of future leaks in that location. It also means no major disruption to your flooring, no concrete dust throughout your home, and no need to restore your slab afterward.
We evaluate every situation individually and explain both options clearly. Sometimes a targeted slab repair makes more sense, but rerouting is often the smarter long-term solution, especially for older homes where multiple slab leaks are likely over time.
Most slab leak repairs take between one and three days, depending on the complexity of the job and the repair method we use. Leak detection usually takes a few hours, and we can often complete pipe rerouting in a single day.
Traditional slab repairs that require breaking through concrete typically take longer because we need time for the concrete to cure properly after we restore your slab. However, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If your slab leak is causing active damage or you’ve lost water pressure, we’ll respond the same day to at least stop the immediate problem, even if the complete repair takes a bit longer to finish properly.
Homeowner’s insurance sometimes covers slab leak repairs, but it depends on what caused the leak and your specific policy terms. If the leak resulted from a covered event like an earthquake or sudden pipe failure, you’re more likely to have coverage.
Insurance typically won’t cover leaks caused by normal wear and tear, poor maintenance, or gradual deterioration. However, they might cover the resulting damage to your floors, walls, or belongings even if they don’t pay for the actual plumbing repair.
We recommend calling your insurance company as soon as you discover a slab leak to understand your coverage. We can provide detailed documentation of the damage and repair work needed to support your claim. Some policies have specific requirements about how quickly you must report the problem, so don’t delay.
Camino’s location in El Dorado County creates specific conditions that stress your plumbing system. California’s shifting soil and occasional seismic activity put constant pressure on pipes under your slab, causing them to crack or separate at joints over time.
The area’s hard water, with high mineral content, accelerates corrosion in copper pipes and creates buildup that restricts water flow. Seasonal temperature changes cause pipes to expand and contract, and the friction against your concrete slab gradually wears through the pipe walls.
Many Camino homes were also built during periods when plumbing installation standards were different, and some pipes may have been installed too close to the concrete or without adequate protection. These factors combine to make slab leaks more common here than in areas with stable soil and softer water.
