A recent slab leak detection & repair call
A Memphis customer in their 1980s home had been chasing mildew smell along the baseboard for weeks before calling. Slow cold-water slab leak under the kitchen was the actual cause. We re-routed the cold line and dried the slab; everything stable since. About $1334 all in.
The actual work
Slab leaks are pinhole leaks in copper plumbing lines that run inside or under a concrete slab foundation. Common in 1960s through 1980s slab-on-grade builds across the Sun Belt and parts of the Midwest.
Signs: warm or wet spots on the floor, unexplained jumps in the water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, mildew smell along baseboards. Hot-side leaks show up faster than cold-side because of the warm spot.
Detection runs $280–$480 standalone. We use acoustic listening equipment plus an infrared thermal camera. Once we've located it, you've two repair options.
