Rerouting a Copper Line Near Los Alamos Park
We had a call from a homeowner near Los Alamos Park who had already patched their slab twice. The third leak came up in the laundry line and they were tired of tearing up floor and concrete.
After inspecting the layout and finding the looped copper path in the slab, we offered a clean reroute through the attic. The entire home had easy access above and the attic space was open enough to fish new PEX lines. We added a new manifold to isolate each area for future work.
They got to keep their floors, and the job was finished in just under three days. Total reroute, no slab cutting, and now they sleep easier knowing no pipe’s running under their bedroom.
Why Reroutes Beat Slab Cuts
A reroute skips breaking the floor. You won’t need to re-pour concrete or redo flooring. It also gives you modern piping above ground where you can reach it later. That means easier repairs down the line and less risk of another hidden leak.
Plus, slab reroutes can be done while you still live in the house. No jackhammer noise, no dust in the air. We work neat and move fast.
If you’ve had more than one slab leak—this is the way. No sense chasing pipes you can’t see under your home.

Homeowner Tips for a Smoother Reroute
You don’t need to do a lot, but here’s how you can help us help you:
Try to clear the attic access or closet entry areas where new pipe might run. If you have any old water shutoffs or outdated lines, let us know ahead so we can tie in smarter.
Let us know if any walls were recently remodeled or painted—we’ll be careful, and we always patch what we touch. Some folks ask us to leave a wall open so painters can do the finish work themselves. That’s totally up to you.
DIY Reroutes Are a Mess
We’ve seen it all. One guy near Brookhurst tried running his own PEX line and drilled right into a support beam. Another used push fittings behind drywall with no shutoff. That line burst within a week.
Water reroutes need permits, good design, and safe anchoring. If it sounds simple, it usually isn’t. And when it goes bad, it goes real bad.
We fix homeowner reroutes all the time. It’s cheaper to do it right the first time.
