Slab leaks under mid-century Forest Hill homes
Why it happens here
Copper supply lines under slabs in 1950s and 1960s homes corrode from the outside in. Forest Hill's clay soil holds moisture against the pipe, and decades of expansion and contraction eventually crack it. Warm floors and high water bills are the tell.
Our approach
We use electronic and acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the break, then open the smallest possible access. If the run is failing in multiple spots, we reroute it overhead in PEX tubing instead of patching under concrete again.
