Next, we use electronic detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of your leak without tearing up your floors unnecessarily. We can hear water moving through concrete and locate the problem spot within inches.

You get complete leak detection using professional-grade electronic equipment that can pinpoint leaks through concrete without guesswork. We don’t start digging until we know exactly where the problem is.
The repair includes accessing the leak with minimal floor damage, replacing the damaged pipe section with quality materials, and pressure testing to ensure the fix holds. We also restore your flooring to match the existing surface as closely as possible.
In Carmichael, we see slab leaks most often in homes built between the 1960s and 1980s, where original copper pipes are reaching the end of their lifespan. The alkaline soil conditions here can accelerate pipe corrosion, making early detection crucial for preventing major foundation issues.
The most common signs are unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, and warm or damp spots on your floors. You might also notice reduced water pressure or cracks appearing in your walls or floors.
Some homeowners in Carmichael notice their water heater running more frequently than usual, which happens when hot water lines leak under the slab. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s worth having a professional inspection.
The sooner you catch a slab leak, the less damage it causes to your foundation and the lower your repair costs will be.
No, we use electronic detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of your leak before we start any work. This means we only need to access a small area of your floor, typically just a few square feet.
Our detection technology can locate leaks through concrete within inches of the actual problem. We mark the spot, cut a precise access hole, and make the repair with minimal disruption to your flooring.
After the repair is complete, we restore the flooring in the affected area. Most customers are surprised at how small the work area actually is compared to what they expected.
The cost depends on the location of the leak, the type of pipe, and how accessible it is, but most slab leak repairs in Carmichael range from $1,500 to $4,000. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying.
Factors that affect cost include whether it’s a hot or cold water line, the depth of the pipe, and the type of flooring that needs to be restored. Leaks under tile or hardwood floors typically cost more to restore than those under carpet.
The important thing to remember is that delaying repair almost always increases the total cost. Foundation damage from ongoing leaks can cost tens of thousands to repair, making prompt action the most economical choice.
Most slab leak repairs take one full day from start to finish, including detection, repair, and floor restoration. Simple repairs on easily accessible pipes might be completed in a few hours, while more complex situations could extend into a second day.
The detection phase usually takes 1-2 hours, the actual repair work takes 2-4 hours depending on complexity, and floor restoration adds another hour or two. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
You’ll have water service restored as soon as the repair is complete and tested. We don’t leave you without water overnight unless there’s an emergency situation that requires additional work the following day.
Yes, ongoing slab leaks can cause serious foundation problems if left untreated. The constant water flow can wash away soil under your foundation, creating voids that lead to settling and cracking.
In Carmichael’s clay soil conditions, water from slab leaks can cause the soil to expand and contract dramatically, putting additional stress on your foundation. This can result in cracks in walls, uneven floors, and doors or windows that don’t close properly.
The good news is that catching and repairing slab leaks early prevents this type of damage. Once the water source is eliminated, the soil stabilizes and no further foundation damage occurs from that particular leak.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency slab leak repair services throughout Carmichael and surrounding areas. Slab leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include major leaks causing flooding, leaks affecting your home’s electrical systems, or situations where the main water line needs to be shut off. We respond quickly to minimize water damage and get your water service restored.
For emergency calls, we can often provide temporary solutions to stop immediate damage while scheduling the complete repair for the next business day. Our emergency response includes weekends and holidays when you need us most.
