Slab leaks in aging copper lines
Why it happens here
The copper piping under Candlewood homes has been exposed to Rocky Mount water for decades. Minerals in the water slowly corrode the pipe from the inside, and eventually a pinhole opens up. Because the pipe is under the slab, you often do not notice until the floor feels warm or the water bill spikes.
Our approach
We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to find the leak without tearing up your floor. Once we pinpoint it, we cut a small access point, repair the copper or replace the section with PEX tubing, and pressure-test the line. Most slab leak repairs are done in a day.
