Hear from Our Customers
When you catch a slab leak early, you’re looking at a manageable repair instead of a home renovation project. Most of our Dollar Point customers get back to normal life within a day, with their foundation secure and their water bills back where they should be.
No more wondering if that warm spot on your floor means trouble. No more watching your water meter spin when nothing’s running. Just reliable plumbing under your foundation and the confidence that comes with knowing the problem is actually fixed.
The difference between catching a slab leak now versus six months from now can be thousands of dollars and weeks of disruption. We help you stay on the right side of that equation.
We’ve been serving Dollar Point and the broader Lake Tahoe area for years, understanding exactly how seasonal weather changes and mountain terrain affect your home’s plumbing systems. We’re locally owned, fully insured, and serve El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties.
Every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing because we know you’re trusting us with your biggest investment. We show up on time, give you upfront pricing, and clean up after ourselves.
Dollar Point homes face unique challenges with foundation settling and seasonal ground movement. We’ve seen it all and know how to fix it right the first time.
First, we use specialized listening equipment and pressure sensors to pinpoint exactly where your leak is located. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging. We know where the problem is before we start any repair work.
Once we’ve located the leak, we discuss your options. Sometimes we can access the pipe directly for a quick repair. Other times, especially under expensive flooring or when multiple leaks are present, we’ll recommend rerouting the line through your walls or attic.
For certain situations, we use trenchless epoxy restoration technology that fixes the pipe from the inside without breaking through your foundation. We choose the method that makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
After the repair, we test everything thoroughly to make sure the leak is completely resolved and your water pressure is back to normal.

Your slab leak repair includes complete leak detection using electronic equipment, full diagnosis of the problem, and repair using the most appropriate method for your situation. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Dollar Point’s location in the Sierra Nevada mountains means your home deals with seasonal ground movement and temperature fluctuations that can stress underground pipes. We factor these local conditions into our repair approach, ensuring solutions that last through mountain winters and dry summers.
Most insurance policies cover slab leak repairs, and we work directly with insurance companies to help streamline your claim process. We document everything thoroughly and provide the detailed reports insurers need.
Whether it’s a pinhole leak or a completely broken pipe section, we have the tools and experience to handle it efficiently while protecting your home’s interior from unnecessary damage.
The most common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or hot spots on your floors, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and wet areas appearing on floors or carpets. In Dollar Point’s mountain climate, you might also notice your foundation settling differently or cracks appearing in walls or floors.
If your water meter keeps running even when you’re not using water anywhere in the house, that’s a clear indicator of a leak somewhere in your system. Don’t wait to investigate – slab leaks get worse over time and can cause serious structural damage to your foundation.
Repair costs depend on the location of the leak, the method needed to fix it, and how much damage has already occurred. Direct access repairs typically range from $950 to $2,800, while pipe rerouting can cost $1,500 to $4,500. The good news is that most homeowner’s insurance policies cover slab leak repairs.
Early detection is key to keeping costs manageable. A small leak caught quickly might cost under $1,000 to fix, while a leak that’s been running for months can lead to thousands in additional foundation and flooring damage. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re facing before any work begins.
Absolutely. We use electronic leak detection equipment including specialized microphones that can hear water moving beneath your foundation, pressure sensors that detect changes in your plumbing system, and cameras that let us see inside pipes without exposing them.
This technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of your leak before we do any cutting or digging. When we do need to access the pipe, we make the smallest possible opening in the most inconspicuous location. Most of our Dollar Point customers are surprised at how little disruption the detection and repair process actually involves.
Most slab leak repairs are completed within a single day. Simple direct access repairs can be done in just a few hours, while more complex situations like pipe rerouting might take a full day or extend into a second day depending on your home’s layout.
The detection process itself usually takes 1-2 hours. Once we know exactly where the leak is and what repair method we’re using, we can give you an accurate timeline. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while making sure the job is done right the first time.
Dollar Point’s location in the Sierra Nevada creates several factors that contribute to slab leaks. Seasonal ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles puts stress on underground pipes, while the area’s seismic activity can cause foundation settling that damages plumbing lines.
Older copper pipes naturally corrode over time, especially when they come into contact with certain soil conditions common in mountain areas. Poor installation during original construction can also lead to problems years later. The combination of mountain weather, ground movement, and aging infrastructure makes slab leaks more common in areas like Dollar Point than in more stable geological regions.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Dollar Point and the Lake Tahoe area. Slab leaks can cause serious damage quickly, especially if they’re affecting your home’s foundation or causing flooding inside your house.
