Professional Slab Leak Solutions
Accurate Detection. Practical Repair Options.
Slab leaks can lead to rising water bills, warm flooring, foundation concerns, and hidden water damage. Malek’s licensed plumbers use professional diagnostic equipment to locate the leak, evaluate the affected line, and explain the most practical solution for your home.
Electronic Slab Leak Detection
We use specialized equipment and diagnostic testing to narrow down the location of a hidden leak beneath the slab while avoiding unnecessary exploratory damage.
Targeted Slab Leak Repair
When the damaged section can be safely accessed, our plumbers can complete a focused repair and restore dependable water service while limiting disruption wherever possible.
Water Line Rerouting
If accessing the leaking line beneath the slab would cause excessive disruption, rerouting the affected line may provide a more practical and dependable long-term solution.
Repiping Recommendations
When aging materials or multiple leaks point to a broader plumbing problem, we’ll explain whether partial or whole-home repiping should be considered rather than continuing with isolated repairs.
SIGNS TO WATCH FOR
You May Have a Slab Leak
Slab leaks often remain hidden beneath the home until they begin affecting water usage, flooring, or plumbing performance. Watch for these common warning signs.
Unexplained increases in water bills
Warm or unusually damp areas on floors
Running water sounds when fixtures are off
Cracked, warped, or damaged flooring
Ongoing low water pressure
Water pooling near the foundation
Why Slab Leaks Happen
Common Causes of Slab Leaks
Pipes beneath a concrete foundation can deteriorate or become damaged because of age, soil movement, water conditions, or installation issues. Identifying the cause helps determine the most dependable repair approach.
Shifting Soil and Foundation Movement
Expanding, contracting, or settling soil can place pressure on pipes beneath the slab, eventually causing joints or pipe walls to fail.
Corrosion and Aging Pipes
Older metal pipes may gradually corrode because of water chemistry, surrounding soil, or contact with other materials beneath the slab.
High Water Pressure
Excessive water pressure can strain pipes and connections over time, increasing the risk of a hidden leak beneath the foundation.
Abrasion and Pipe Friction
Pipes can rub against concrete, gravel, or other materials as they expand and contract, gradually wearing through the pipe wall.
Improper Installation
Poorly fitted connections, damaged piping, or inadequate protection during construction can lead to premature failure beneath the slab.
Long-Term Plumbing Wear
Years of temperature changes and everyday water use can weaken buried supply lines and eventually cause leaks beneath the home.

The Right Slab Leak Solution Depends on What We Find
