Leak Found Off Garden Grove Blvd and Adelle
Earlier this summer, we got a call from a homeowner near Garden Grove Blvd and Adelle. They’d been told by their home warranty company it was “probably the toilet flange.” But the meter kept spinning, and hot water lines kept losing pressure.
We brought out our high-frequency headphones, ran a pressure test, and tracked the sound down right near the front hallway. Turns out it was a pinhole leak on a 3/4″ hot copper line. The spot was only 4 feet from the wall, so the reroute was short and clean. The homeowner was relieved we didn’t have to tear into the slab in the living room like they’d feared.
Why Slab Leak Locating Helps
Knowing there’s a leak is step one. Finding it is step two. But slab leak locating gives you the whole map. Without tracing the full pipe path, a repair might only patch one problem while ignoring another waiting nearby. Or worse—you end up cutting your floor in the wrong place.
Most older Fountain Valley homes were built without updated line plans. Some homes have copper looping through slab sections in weird patterns. That’s why we use high-tech tools like digital line tracing, audio pulse equipment, and thermal gear to make sure the location is exact. We find the pipe. We find the leak. Then we plan your repair right.
That’s the difference between a quick patch and a fix that lasts.
And we always leave behind a sketch for future repairs, too. Whether you’re replacing flooring or doing a remodel later, it helps to know where your old copper lines once ran. Our work isn’t just for now—it makes the next job easier too.
How Slab Leak Locating Works
Locating a slab leak ain’t like chasing a roof leak or broken hose bib. These are hidden under concrete and drywall, and most homeowners don’t even see the signs until it’s too late. We start with a full shutoff and pressure check. If pressure falls, we listen. High-tech gear picks up the exact sound pattern of a leak. Thermal tools help when it’s a hot water line. We also inject tracer gas into the pipe and use sniffers to track it. For deeper or tricky leaks, we might mark lines with a pulse generator.
Once we locate it, we use chalk, laser guides, or paint marker to show you exactly where to fix. No demo, no digging unless you choose repair. We just give you the real spot where it’s leaking.

Common DIY Mistakes in Slab Leak Locating
We saw a guy rent a thermal cam online, but he used it on cold water lines and couldn’t find anything.
Another homeowner thought the noise was near the dishwasher and cut open drywall for nothing. The leak was across the room.
Someone else tried using food dye in a tub drain. That don’t tell you where under slab pipe leaks are. That’s for toilet flappers.
