Slab Leak Repair

Do you have a leak under a concrete floor? Most residential and many commercial buildings in the greater Phoenix metro use a concrete slab on grade (roughly level with the ground) foundation, and water pipes as well as drain, and sewer pipes are often run underneath. If any of that leaks through, it turns into a slab leak. If you ignore the problem, you’re likely to suffer from water stains and harmful mold, or costly repairs for damages. Therefore, a prompt slab leak repair is important. Our slab leak detection and repair experts keep an eye out for potential slab damage, avoiding tearing up floors or driveways.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

Leaking pipes under the foundation are commonly caused by corrosion eating away the pipes, especially in the old iron water lines over 50 years ago. There was also a time when only certain types of copper lines prone to pinholes were used. But any pipe can crack/break due to any sort of ground movement, improper installation, excessive water pressure, or water hammer. Banging pipes occur due to sudden pressure changes.


It’s never a good time for plumbing problems so we provide fast-response 24/7 emergency services as well as same-day service appointments.  AZ Emergency Plumbing provides affordable slab leak repair services to entire Phoenix East valley and surrounding areas.

How do you know you have a Slab Leak

If you hear sounds of running water with nothing turned on, don't wait a second longer to call us! But don’t forget things like ice makers and water softeners.

  • Cracks in floor tile, walls, and ceiling can indicate you have a water leak under your slab that’s taken over the foundation.
  • Low water pressure indicates water isn't flowing as it should.
  • Smaller leaks may show up as water stains, create mold and mildew, along with damp, warm, or cold areas on the floor. Laminate flooring may swell, become discolored, or buckle.


Even if there are no symptoms other than a jump on your monthly water bill, your slabs and house are still deteriorating, and all leaks can get worse.

How to Detect a Leak

When it comes to cracking through a concrete floor, guesswork can cause more harm than good. We can perform an accurate pressure test to determine if there is a problem, then use the latest electronic slab leak detection instruments to determine its location. This is to keep concrete and floor repair work to a minimum, saving you time and money.

Repairing your Slab Leak Strategies

While plumbing repair itself may take only a couple of hours, the extensive process of jack hammering through the foundation and repairing the concrete/flooring may span over weeks. With the exact location handy, we can walk you through the most cost-effective and least-disruptive slab leak repair approach. Here are the three popular options for both residential and commercial buildings.


  • A spot repair involves breaking through the floor then replacing just a small section of pipe. This is the best solution if the plumbing system is in good condition. If the problem is closer to the edge of the building, we possibly reach the problem through digging.
  • Re-piping involves adding new plumbing through the attic or around the perimeter, bypassing the old pipes under the foundation. While new pipes should last a lifetime, any problems that occur in the future will be easily taken care of.
  • Pipelining applies a cured-in-place lining inside the existing pipe and is able to permanently seal small and mid-size leaks.

Re-piping

Often, fixing slab leaks comes with having to re-pipe your system. Keeping your original pipes intact is always best, but sometimes the situation calls for new pipes, especially if they are getting rusty. Or, if tree roots have moved your pipes around or are about to, we can re-pipe your system accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Why should I be worried about a slab leak?

    A: Before we can fix your slab leak, you need to alert us to the problem to begin with. Warning signs of slab leaks may include any of the following.

    • Unusually high water bills without obvious leaks in the house could indicate a slab leak.
    • Feel hot spots under your feet? You might have a slab leak in a hot water line.
    • Do you hear water flowing when you’re not using any? It may be a leak hidden below the slab.
    • See water damage along the base of your walls? It may be water creeping up from a slab leak.
    • Is the concrete of your slab cracking? That could be due to swelling caused by a slab leak.
  • Q: How do you detect a slab leak?

    A: We pinpoint slab leaks using tools such as sonic detection equipment and thermal imaging systems. We will determine precisely where we need to access your slab leak so that we can go about fixing it promptly.

    We can replace the pipe if it is beyond repair, but this is always a last resort. Our plumbers are not going to upsell you on replacement pipes and services that you don’t need.

  • Q: What happens if I don't fix a slab leak ASAP?

    A: A slab leak can lead to mold problems, unpleasant odors, and rotting of flooring, ceilings and walls. AZ Emergency Plumbing LLC can help determine the source of your leak and make the appropriate repairs to ensure that it does not cause expensive damage to your home’s construction materials.
