Slab leaks in mid-century homes
Why it happens here
Many Hillcrest homes were built on slabs in the 1950s and 1960s. The copper pipes under the slab expand and contract with temperature changes. Over decades, that movement causes pinhole leaks. Hard water speeds up the corrosion.
Our approach
We use leak detection equipment to pinpoint the leak without breaking up the whole floor. Then we reroute the line through the attic or walls with PEX tubing. That solves the problem and avoids future slab leaks in the same spot.
