Most Tempe homes sit on a concrete slab foundation, which means a leak under your home isn't just an inconvenience — it can threaten your foundation. We find it fast and fix it with minimal disruption.
Tempe homes are almost universally built on a concrete slab, with copper water lines running directly beneath it. Over decades, that copper corrodes from contact with soil and concrete, developing pinhole leaks that stay completely hidden until water finds its way up through your flooring — often after significant damage has already occurred.
We use non-invasive acoustic and thermal detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of a slab leak without guesswork. Once located, we discuss repair options — sometimes rerouting the line above the slab avoids breaking through your floor entirely.
Acoustic and thermal equipment locates the leak without tearing up your entire floor first.
Most slab leak inspections are completed and diagnosed the same day you call.
We often can reroute the line above the slab instead of breaking through your foundation.
We've repaired slab leaks in Tempe homes from every decade, from 1960s ranches to new builds.
Every job is different, so these are general starting ranges. You'll always get a written estimate before we start work.
| Service | Typical Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slab leak detection | $225 – $450 | Non-invasive acoustic/thermal detection |
| Slab leak repair (direct access) | $800 – $2,500 | Depends on depth and location |
| Pipe reroute (avoiding slab) | $1,500 – $4,000 | Often preferred over breaking concrete |
| Full repipe | $4,000 – $10,000+ | For homes with multiple/recurring leaks |

The most common signs include a warm spot on your floor (from a hot water line leak), an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when everything in the house is off, and cracks appearing in flooring or walls as water erodes the soil beneath the slab.
Homes built before the 1990s are at higher risk since they're more likely to have original copper lines approaching the end of their expected lifespan. If your Tempe home fits that profile and you're noticing any of these signs, it's worth having a professional inspection sooner rather than later.
Cost depends on the repair method — direct access, rerouting, or full repipe. We provide a written estimate after detection confirms the exact issue.
Not always. Depending on the situation, we can often reroute the line above the slab instead of accessing the leak directly.
It's not always an emergency, but it should be addressed promptly to limit damage to your foundation and flooring.
We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak's location before any digging or cutting begins.
