That unexplained spike in your water bill isn’t going away on its own. Neither is the warm spot on your floor or that sound of running water when everything’s turned off. These aren’t minor inconveniences—they’re warning signs of a slab leak that’s already costing you money and threatening your home’s foundation.
When we fix your slab leak properly, you get your peace of mind back. No more wondering if that small problem is becoming a big one. No more watching your water bill climb month after month. Just a solid repair that stops the damage, protects your investment, and lets you get back to living in your home instead of worrying about it.
The difference between catching this early and waiting? Thousands of dollars and weeks of disruption. We’ve seen homeowners face $3,000+ in water damage because they hoped the problem would resolve itself. It won’t.
We’ve been serving Granite Bay and the surrounding areas since 2012. We understand the unique challenges that come with this area’s aging homes and the slab foundation construction common throughout Northern California.
Our team knows Granite Bay’s established neighborhoods, where many homes feature plumbing systems that are showing their age. We’ve seen the Kitec piping issues, the water quality problems, and the soil conditions that put extra stress on underground pipes. This local knowledge means we can diagnose problems faster and recommend solutions that actually work for your specific situation.
Every technician on our team is background-checked and drug-tested. We show up when we say we will, give you the real price upfront, and treat your home like it’s our own.
First, we locate the exact source of your leak using specialized electronic equipment and thermal imaging. This isn’t guesswork—we pinpoint the problem without unnecessary digging or breaking up your foundation. Most detection takes 1-2 hours, and you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before any repair work begins.
Once we’ve found the leak, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes we can reroute the plumbing through walls or attics, avoiding your foundation entirely. Other times, a targeted repair through the slab is the most cost-effective approach. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each method so you can make an informed decision.
During the repair, we contain the problem immediately to prevent further damage. Our goal is to get your water flowing properly again while causing the least possible disruption to your daily routine. Most repairs are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the job.

Our slab leak repair service includes everything you need to solve the problem permanently. We start with precise leak detection using advanced listening devices and thermal imaging cameras. This technology allows us to locate leaks without the guesswork that leads to unnecessary foundation damage.
For Granite Bay homeowners, we offer several repair approaches depending on your specific situation. Direct access repairs work well when the leak is in an easily accessible location. Pipe rerouting is often the best long-term solution, especially for homes with multiple aging pipes that could fail in the future. We also provide trenchless repair options when conditions allow.
What sets our service apart in Granite Bay is our understanding of local conditions. We know which neighborhoods have expansive clay soils that put extra stress on underground pipes. We’re familiar with the water quality issues that accelerate copper pipe corrosion in certain areas. This local expertise helps us recommend solutions that prevent future problems, not just fix today’s leak.
Slab leak repair costs in Granite Bay typically range from $630 to $4,400, with most homeowners paying around $2,280. The final cost depends on several factors: the leak’s location, the repair method needed, and whether we can access the pipe easily or need to break through foundation.
Detection alone costs $150 to $400, but this upfront investment saves money by pinpointing the exact problem location. We’ve seen homeowners spend thousands more when contractors have to guess where the leak is located.
The most cost-effective approach is often pipe rerouting, where we abandon the leaking line and run new plumbing through walls or attics. This prevents future slab leaks and typically costs less than repeated repairs to aging underground pipes.
The most common early warning signs include an unexplained spike in your water bill, warm spots on your floor, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. You might also notice wet spots on floors, decreased water pressure, or areas where your foundation feels warm to the touch.
Outside your home, look for saturated ground around your foundation, especially areas that stay wet even during dry weather. Some homeowners notice cracks in their foundation or walls, which can indicate that water has been undermining the soil beneath their home.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll resolve themselves. Slab leaks typically get worse over time, and the longer you wait, the more expensive the repair becomes. Early detection and repair can save thousands in water damage and foundation problems.
Most slab leak repairs in Granite Bay take 1 to 3 days to complete, depending on the leak’s location and the repair method we use. Detection usually takes 1-2 hours, and we can often start repairs the same day.
Direct access repairs, where we break through the foundation to reach the pipe, typically take 1-2 days. Pipe rerouting, where we run new lines through walls or attics, might take 2-3 days but provides a more permanent solution.
The timeline can extend if we discover additional water damage that needs addressing or if your flooring needs to be removed and replaced. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the repair process.
Yes, untreated slab leaks can cause serious foundation damage over time. Water from the leak saturates the soil beneath your foundation, which can cause settling, shifting, or erosion that undermines your home’s structural integrity.
In Granite Bay’s clay soils, this problem can be especially severe. Clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating ongoing stress on your foundation. A persistent leak can accelerate this cycle and lead to foundation cracks, uneven floors, or structural settling.
The good news is that catching and repairing slab leaks early prevents most foundation damage. We’ve helped many Granite Bay homeowners avoid expensive foundation repairs by addressing their slab leaks promptly. The key is acting quickly when you notice the warning signs.
No, slab leak repair is not a DIY project. The repair requires specialized detection equipment to locate the leak precisely, and accessing pipes beneath your foundation involves breaking through concrete—work that requires professional tools and expertise.
Attempting DIY repairs often leads to more expensive problems. We’ve seen homeowners cause additional foundation damage, flood their homes, or create electrical hazards by hitting utility lines. Professional plumbers carry insurance and have the training to avoid these costly mistakes.
The detection process alone requires electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing equipment that most homeowners don’t have access to. Professional repair also ensures the work meets local building codes and won’t cause problems when you sell your home.
Homeowner’s insurance coverage for slab leaks varies significantly by policy and the cause of the leak. If the leak resulted from a covered event like an earthquake, frozen pipes, or sudden pipe failure, your insurance may cover the repair costs and water damage.
However, most policies don’t cover leaks caused by normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration, or poor maintenance. The foundation demolition and pipe repair might be covered, but associated costs like flooring replacement, painting, or temporary housing often aren’t.
We recommend calling your insurance company as soon as you suspect a slab leak to understand what’s covered under your specific policy. Getting approval before starting repairs increases your chances of coverage. We can work with your insurance adjuster and provide detailed documentation of the damage and repair process.
