How We Find and Fix Slab Leaks
A slab leak announces itself indirectly: an unexplained jump in the water bill, the sound of running water with everything off, warm flooring, damp carpet edges, or a water meter that spins when the house is quiet. Left alone, a slab leak erodes soil under the foundation, feeds mold, and can waste thousands of gallons a month.
Our leak detection and slab leak service combines acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to pinpoint the break within inches — through concrete, without exploratory jackhammering. Once located, we choose the least invasive fix: a direct spot repair through a small slab opening, or a reroute that abandons the failed under-slab line and runs new PEX overhead through walls and attic. Reroutes are especially popular in Morgan Hill's 1990s-and-newer homes, where attic access makes the overhead path clean and fast. Every option comes with upfront pricing before we break concrete.
Newer Homes, Shifting Soils
Most of Morgan Hill's residential corridors were built from the late 1990s onward, so the plumbing is modern — but clay-soil movement doesn't care how new the pipe is. Beyond slab leaks, we see the secondary effects: stressed irrigation lines, offset sewer joints, and water heaters working against hard South County water. Our water filtration and softener installations protect fixtures and appliances, and our water heater services keep hot water reliable.
We also handle drain cleaning, sewer camera inspection for suspect laterals, and emergency plumbing 24/7 — because a slab leak doesn't wait for business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
**What causes slab leaks in Morgan Hill?**
The area's clay-heavy soils expand and contract with moisture changes, stressing buried copper lines. Combined with hard water corrosion and the occasional poor installation, even 20-year-old slab plumbing can fail. It's one of the most common serious plumbing issues in South County.
Is a reroute better than breaking through the slab? Often, yes. A reroute abandons the failed under-slab line entirely and runs new PEX through walls or attic — no concrete demolition, no dust, and the new line is accessible if it ever needs service. We recommend the best option for your home's layout.
How much water can a slab leak waste? A pinhole slab leak can waste hundreds of gallons a day; a larger break, thousands. That's why a sudden bill spike is worth investigating immediately — every week of delay is money down the drain and potential foundation damage.
