Real Stories from Huntington Beach Neighbors
A family near Edison High School called us in confusion after their water bill doubled overnight, with no visible leak found.
Our technician used advanced electronic detection to carefully inspect their plumbing. The technology accurately pinpointed a slab leak hidden beneath their kitchen floor, directly under the island, without disturbing the beautiful tile.

We rerouted the damaged pipe through the wall, completing the repair in a single day. This restored their water service and saved them significant money and disruption.

Common DIY Mistakes That Make Slab Leaks Worse
- Ignoring early warning signs: Overlooking warm floors or spiking bills lets minor leaks worsen, causing preventable, extensive damage.
- Delaying professional evaluation: Postponing assessment can turn a small, manageable repair into a major, costly foundation problem.
- Attempting DIY leak detection: Following guesswork or online tutorials rarely finds the true leak and often damages your home.
- Underestimating equipment needs: Professional detection tools require specific training, making DIY attempts both ineffective and ultimately more expensive.
