Slab leaks in older homes with copper pipe
Why it happens here
Copper pipe under a slab is surrounded by soil and moisture. Over decades, the pipe corrodes and develops pinhole leaks. Riverside's high water table keeps the soil wet, which speeds up the process. Warm spots on the floor are the first sign.
Our approach
We use acoustic listening and thermal imaging to locate the leak without breaking up the whole floor. Once found, we cut a small access hole, repair the pipe with new copper or PEX, and pressure test. The patch is small and the repair is permanent.
