You’re not imagining that sound of running water when everything’s turned off. That spike in your water bill isn’t a mistake from the utility company. And those warm spots on your floor aren’t normal.
When slab leaks strike Rio Linda homes, they don’t announce themselves with obvious flooding. They work quietly beneath your foundation, wasting hundreds of gallons of water while slowly undermining your home’s structural integrity. Every day you wait, the damage spreads.
Our advanced leak detection equipment pinpoints the exact location of your slab leak without tearing up your floors or landscaping. We stop the leak, stop the waste, and stop the worry – usually within the same day you call.
CG Plumbing has been solving plumbing emergencies across Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, El Dorado, and Amador counties for years. We’re the locally owned company Rio Linda residents call when they need real solutions, not run-around.
Every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing. We show up on time with upfront quotes and clean up after ourselves. No surprises, no excuses, no amateur hour.
When your foundation is at risk, you need plumbers who understand California’s unique challenges – from shifting soil to aging infrastructure. We’ve seen it all in Rio Linda, and we know exactly how to fix it.
First, we perform a comprehensive inspection using electronic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging. No guesswork – we locate the exact source of your slab leak without damaging your property.
Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, we explain your repair options clearly. For minor leaks in accessible areas, we can often perform spot repairs with minimal disruption. For extensive damage or multiple leak points, we may recommend pipe rerouting through walls or attic spaces using durable PEX piping.
Throughout the process, we protect your home and belongings. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the repair will last. Most slab leak repairs are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity and location of the damage.

Your slab leak repair includes comprehensive detection using the latest electronic equipment, detailed assessment of damage extent, and multiple repair options tailored to your specific situation and budget.
Rio Linda’s clay soil and seasonal weather changes put extra stress on foundation pipes. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly. Whether your home was built in the 1960s with original copper lines or you’re dealing with a newer construction issue, we have the right solution.
Our service includes post-repair testing to ensure the leak is completely eliminated, restoration of any affected areas, and recommendations for preventing future issues. We also coordinate with your insurance company when coverage applies, helping you navigate the claims process smoothly.
The most common early warning sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, sometimes doubling or tripling normal usage. You might also hear the sound of running water when all faucets and appliances are turned off.
Physical signs include warm or damp spots on your floors, reduced water pressure throughout the house, or cracks appearing in walls or floors. Some homeowners notice their water heater running more frequently as it works to replace hot water lost through the leak.
If you suspect a slab leak, turn off all water sources in your home and check your water meter. If the meter is still moving, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system that requires immediate professional attention.
Slab leak repair costs vary significantly depending on the location, severity, and accessibility of the leak. Simple spot repairs for easily accessible leaks typically cost less than extensive pipe rerouting or replacement.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins. Our estimates include detection, repair, and restoration of affected areas. We’ll explain all your options – from basic repairs to complete pipe replacement – so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and long-term needs.
Many homeowners’ insurance policies cover slab leak damage, especially when it’s sudden and accidental. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand your coverage and file claims when applicable.
In many cases, yes. We use advanced electronic leak detection and thermal imaging to pinpoint the exact location of leaks without exploratory digging. This precision allows us to minimize the area that needs to be accessed for repairs.
For leaks in difficult locations or when multiple pipes are affected, we often recommend pipe rerouting. This involves running new pipes through walls or attic spaces, completely bypassing the damaged underground lines. While this approach requires more initial work, it eliminates future slab leak problems.
When we do need to access pipes through the foundation, we use specialized equipment to make precise cuts and carefully restore the area afterward. Our goal is always to minimize disruption to your home while ensuring a permanent solution.
Most slab leak repairs are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity and location of the damage. Simple spot repairs in accessible areas can often be finished in a few hours.
More extensive repairs, such as pipe rerouting or replacement of multiple sections, may take two to three days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality workmanship that will last for decades.
Emergency repairs to stop active flooding or prevent immediate structural damage can often be started the same day you call. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the repair process.
Rio Linda’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes. This natural ground movement, combined with California’s seismic activity, can cause pipes to shift and develop leaks over time.
Older homes with original copper piping are particularly susceptible as the pipes corrode and weaken with age. Poor initial installation, where pipes weren’t properly protected during construction, can also lead to premature failures.
Chemical reactions between certain soil types and pipe materials can accelerate corrosion. High water pressure or temperature fluctuations can also stress pipes beyond their design limits, especially in older systems not built to current standards.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency slab leak repair throughout Rio Linda and surrounding areas. Slab leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
When you call with a plumbing emergency, we dispatch a fully equipped technician immediately. Our emergency service includes rapid leak detection, temporary measures to stop immediate damage, and permanent repairs as quickly as possible.
