About this service
Slab Leak Detection & Repair for Beaverton homes
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under a concrete floor. Because the pipe is buried, the leak can run for weeks before anyone notices. The signs are indirect: a warm patch on a tile floor, the sound of water when nothing is running, a damp spot on carpet that has no obvious source or a water bill that suddenly jumps.
The hard part of a slab leak is not the repair, it is the finding. Breaking up a floor to look for a leak is expensive and disruptive, so our slab leak repair service starts with locating the leak as precisely as possible. Once we know where the water is escaping, we can lay out the repair options and their trade-offs before anything is touched.

- Pinpointing the leakWe narrow down where under the slab the pipe has failed before any concrete is opened.
- Direct spot repairWhere it makes sense, we open the floor at the leak, repair the pipe and close it up.

Warning signs
Signs You Need Slab Leak Detection & Repair
When to call
Call promptly if you notice a warm spot on the floor, hear water running with everything off or see your meter moving with all fixtures closed. A slab leak is rarely a flood, but it keeps running around the clock, wetting the soil under your home and adding to your bill.
Homes on concrete slabs are common in parts of Beaverton, alongside crawlspace and basement homes. If your floor sits right on the ground and you notice any of these signs, a slab leak is worth ruling out early.

Questions
Slab Leak Detection & Repair FAQs
What causes a slab leak?
Common causes include pipe corrosion, pipes rubbing against concrete or gravel over time, poor original installation and soil movement under the slab.
Do you have to break up my floor?
Not always. Sometimes the best option is rerouting the line through walls or ceilings instead. When the slab must be opened, we locate the leak first so the opening is as small as possible.
Is a slab leak an emergency?
If water is coming up through the floor or the leak is on a hot water line, treat it as urgent. Slower leaks still need prompt attention because they run around the clock.
How do I know it is under the slab and not somewhere else?
If your meter moves with every fixture off and there is no visible leak in walls, ceilings or the yard, a slab leak is a strong possibility. We confirm it on the visit.
