Slab leak detection is a specific type of water leak detection for piping beneath a concrete floor. Describe unexplained water use, damp areas, or the sound of running water. Ask what testing will establish the location before agreeing to concrete removal or rerouting.
Electronic listening equipment, pressure isolation, and sometimes thermal imaging. Finding it precisely avoids unnecessary concrete work.
Rerouting the line overhead is often less disruptive than tunneling under the slab, especially for older copper lines.
It will not flood the house quickly, but it undermines the foundation and wastes water. Schedule it within days, not months.
Ask why the recommended approach fits the located leak and existing pipe condition. Compare the plumbing scope separately from flooring, concrete, and other restoration. Request a written explanation of any areas that remain uncertain.
