Slab Leaks Fountain Valley
If your water bill’s suddenly up or your floors feel oddly warm in one spot, you might be dealing with a slab leak. These happen under the concrete foundation of your home—and they don’t fix themselves. We specialize in finding and fixing slab leaks in Fountain Valley homes using modern equipment and real plumbing experience.
A slab leak is when a water pipe running beneath your home’s foundation cracks or breaks. Sometimes it’s from age, shifting ground, or just poor installs decades ago. These leaks can ruin floors, weaken the slab, and cause mold problems fast. We use electronic leak detection, infrared scanners, and high-frequency listening tools to locate the source without tearing your whole house up.
If you even suspect a leak under your slab, don’t wait. Schedule a visit. We’ll help confirm what’s going on, explain your options clearly, and fix it right—the first time.
Local Story – Near Ellis & Brookhurst in Fountain Valley
We had a call a while back from a homeowner near Ellis Ave and Brookhurst Street. Their water bill had doubled, but there were no visible leaks anywhere. When we got to the house, the first thing we noticed was a slightly warm tile area in the hallway—classic sign of a hot water slab leak.
Using our digital acoustic gear and infrared camera, we tracked the leak to a hot copper line running under the slab toward the kitchen. The homeowner was surprised how clean the job could be. We used our electronic locator to trace the exact route of the pipe and then opened a small section of flooring directly over the leak—no need to rip up the whole floor.
Instead of patching, we rerouted the line overhead through the attic, using Uponor PEX to keep future corrosion away. The whole job took less than two days. And now, their water bill’s back to normal and no more soggy floors.
