Why We Don't Guess
Water is incredibly deceptive. When a pipe breaks under the concrete slab, the water might travel 20 feet horizontally before finding a crack to push up through your floor. We also specialize in professional signs of a slab leak.
If a plumber simply jackhammers the concrete where they see the water pooling, they are often wrong. This results in "search and destroy" plumbing—destroying your home looking for the source. Our acoustic and electronic equipment allows us to trace the actual pipe and hear the exact location of the break. We have a dedicated team serving the South Tucson community.
Our Complete Six-Step Process
Visual Symptom Review
We examine your water meter, assess the visible damage to flooring or walls, and discuss the timeline of the symptoms you have experienced.
Rule Out Fixture Leaks
We thoroughly check running toilets, dripping faucets, water heater PRVs, and outdoor irrigation systems to ensure the leak isn't above ground.
System Pressure Testing
We attach precision pressure gauges to your plumbing. If the system cannot hold pressure when everything is off, we confirm an under-slab leak.
Line Isolation
We isolate the hot water lines from the cold water lines to determine exactly which side of your plumbing system is actively losing water.
Acoustic Pinpointing
We use specialized headphones and electronic ground mics to listen through the concrete and pinpoint the precise location of the failure.
Repair Blueprinting
With the location confirmed, we map out the best repair solution—whether that's a direct spot repair, or bypassing the pipe entirely.
Moving from Detection to Repair
Once the leak is pinpointed, the detection phase is complete. We will then present you with the options for permanently repairing the system.
In some cases, breaking a small 2x2 hole in the concrete to patch the pipe is the most cost-effective method. In other homes, especially those with severely degraded lines, abandoning the underground pipe and rerouting a new one through the walls or attic is the superior long-term choice.
