Recent service example
A Miami customer in their 1960s home had been chasing a warm spot in the master bedroom carpet, plus a $140 jump in the water bill for weeks before calling. Pinhole leak in the hot-water copper line under the slab was the actual cause. We re-routed the line overhead through the attic and abandoned the slab line; everything stable since. About $630 all in.
Scope of 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 have two repair options.
