We’ve been protecting homes throughout Amador County for years, and we understand what Ione homeowners face. Your home sits on California’s challenging soil conditions that can shift and settle, putting stress on the pipes running beneath your slab foundation.
We’re locally owned, fully insured, and every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing. When you call us, you’re not getting some fly-by-night operation or a guy in a truck with questionable credentials.

We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time, earning a 4.9-star rating from over 152 homeowners who trusted us with their most valuable investment.
First, we locate the exact source of your leak using advanced electronic detection equipment. No jackhammering your entire floor hoping to find the problem. Our acoustic systems and specialized cameras pinpoint the leak through your concrete slab without destroying your home.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes we can reroute the plumbing through your walls or attic, avoiding the slab entirely.

Finally, we complete the repair, test everything thoroughly, and clean up properly. You’ll get a detailed explanation of what we found, what we fixed, and how to prevent future problems. No mystery charges, no surprise fees, and no mess left behind.

Your slab leak repair includes everything you need to get your home back to normal. We start with precise leak detection using electronic equipment that locates problems without damaging your property. Our repair options include pipe rerouting, trenchless restoration, and direct access repairs when necessary.
Ione’s unique position in the Sierra Nevada foothills means your home deals with specific challenges. The area’s clay-rich soils can expand and contract with moisture changes, putting extra stress on foundation pipes. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly.
We also handle all the details that other companies might leave to you. That includes coordinating with your insurance company if needed, obtaining proper permits, and ensuring all work meets California building codes. You get a complete solution, not just a quick patch that fails in six months.
Slab leak repair typically costs between $630 and $4,400, with most Ione homeowners paying around $2,280 for a complete repair. The final cost depends on the leak’s location, severity, and the repair method we recommend.
Detection alone runs $150 to $400, but we include this in our total repair price. Rerouting pipes through walls or ceilings often costs less than breaking through your slab, typically ranging from $600 to $4,000. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Keep in mind that delaying repairs almost always increases costs. A small leak that costs $1,500 to fix today could result in $15,000 in water damage and foundation repairs if left untreated.
The most common early warning sign is an unexplained spike in your water bill. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has jumped significantly, you likely have a hidden leak somewhere.
You might also notice warm spots on your floor, especially if the leak is in a hot water line. Damp areas on carpets or floors, the sound of running water when everything’s turned off, or reduced water pressure throughout your home are other red flags.
Some Ione homeowners also report musty odors, cracks in their foundation, or doors and windows that suddenly don’t close properly. These can indicate that water has been undermining your foundation for some time. The sooner you address these signs, the less expensive and disruptive the repair will be.
Most slab leak repairs take one to three days, depending on the complexity and repair method. Simple rerouting jobs or trenchless repairs can often be completed in a single day.
If we need to break through your slab to access the pipes directly, expect the repair to take two to three days. This includes time for the concrete to properly cure after we patch the opening. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Emergency repairs can usually start within hours of your call. We understand that slab leaks don’t wait for convenient timing, so we’re available 24/7 to prevent further damage to your Ione home’s foundation.
Homeowners insurance typically covers slab leak repairs if the leak resulted from a covered event like an earthquake, severe weather, or sudden pipe failure. However, leaks caused by normal wear and tear or poor maintenance usually aren’t covered.
The good news is that insurance often covers the “tear-out and replacement” costs, which includes breaking through your slab, making repairs, and restoring your flooring. They may also cover water damage to your home’s structure and contents.
We work directly with insurance companies and can help document the damage properly for your claim. We’ll provide detailed photos, repair estimates, and technical explanations that insurance adjusters need. This takes the hassle off your shoulders during an already stressful situation.
Absolutely. We use advanced electronic leak detection equipment that locates slab leaks without any destructive digging or drilling. Our acoustic systems listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes beneath your concrete slab.
We also use specialized cameras that can be inserted into your existing plumbing lines to visually inspect pipes and identify problem areas. Ground-penetrating radar and thermal imaging help us map your plumbing layout and identify temperature differences that indicate leaks.
This technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of your leak before making any cuts or openings. When we do need to access the pipe, we make the smallest possible opening in the least visible location. No more guessing, no more unnecessary damage to your beautiful Ione home.
Ione’s unique location in the Sierra Nevada foothills creates specific conditions that can lead to slab leaks. The area’s clay-rich soils expand when wet and contract when dry, causing ground movement that stresses pipes beneath your foundation.
Corrosion is another major factor, especially in older homes with copper pipes. Chemicals in the soil and water can gradually eat away at pipe walls, creating pinhole leaks that grow over time. Poor installation during original construction can also lead to premature pipe failure.
Normal wear and tear plays a role too. Pipes naturally expand and contract with temperature changes, and the constant water flow creates vibration. Over decades, this normal stress can cause pipes to develop cracks or separate at joints. The key is catching these problems early before they cause serious foundation damage.
