Slab Leak Detection Fountain Valley
Slab leaks don’t always show themselves right away—but they sure cause damage if they go unnoticed. If your water bill’s going up, the floor’s warm in spots, or you hear water running when everything’s off, it’s time to check under the slab. We provide slab leak detection in Fountain Valley using real equipment, not guesswork. That means acoustic listening tools, infrared scanners, and pressure testing to find leaks fast and right.
We don’t open your floors unless we’re sure. That’s why people call us first. We take the time to locate the problem before breaking anything open. Whether it’s a small pinhole leak or a full pipe crack under the foundation, we find the exact source so the repair is faster, cleaner, and cheaper.
You don’t have to wonder. Call us (714) 964-3519 or book online today and get it checked out.
Local Story – Fountain Valley Near Los Alisos Intermediate
A couple off Bushard Street near Los Alisos Intermediate called us after spotting damp carpet near their hallway. The floor wasn’t warm and there was no sound of running water. But their bill had spiked two months straight. They thought maybe the sprinklers were to blame.
We ran a full pressure test and confirmed a slow leak in the hot line under the slab. Our acoustic gear narrowed it to one area by the laundry. Using our infrared camera, we picked up heat patterns that confirmed the same spot. The leak was right beneath the wall between the laundry and kitchen.
They didn’t want the floor cut open. So we rerouted the bad line through the attic using Uponor PEX, no more copper to corrode. No demo, no mess, and no more leak.
Why Slab Leak Detection Matters
Slab leak detection isn’t just about spotting a puddle. It’s about stopping damage before it spreads. Water leaking under your foundation can erode soil, warp flooring, and weaken the whole structure. If left alone, it can even lead to mold inside your walls or under flooring, especially if the leak’s on a hot water line.
It’s not something you want to guess at. Some homeowners call after seeing a wet baseboard or feeling a warm spot on the tile. But without the right tools, you can end up tearing open areas that aren’t even close to the leak. That’s why we use high-tech listening gear, infrared scanners, and digital pressure tools to locate the exact spot before we ever cut.
Quick detection saves time, mess, and money. Plus, when we know exactly where the leak is, we can offer better solutions—whether that’s a spot repair or rerouting the whole line to avoid future issues. Knowing early helps keep your home safe and your costs down.

Common DIY Missteps in Fountain Valley
We’ve had homeowners try to guess their leak spot based on warm floors or wet baseboards—only to dig in the wrong place. That means added repair costs and wasted time.
Others use cheap sound sticks from hardware stores. They rarely work. We even saw one homeowner mistake a dishwasher leak for a slab issue—they tore up the tile before realizing.
It’s okay to check basics, but don’t risk guessing. Our equipment’s thousands of dollars for a reason. It finds what you can’t see or hear.
