Leak Detection & Repair
$150–$2,500 per job
Most San Diego homes sit on concrete slabs, which means a leak under your foundation can go unnoticed until you see a spike in your water bill or moisture bubbling through your flooring. Our team uses non-invasive electronic amplification and acoustic correlation to locate leaks under slabs, behind walls, and in buried supply lines — without tearing up your property. Whether it's a corroded copper line in a 1940s Kensington bungalow or a failing joint in a Pacific Beach condo, we isolate the problem, repair it with code-compliant materials, and pressure-test the line before we leave.

- Under-slab reroutes when direct repair isn't cost-effective
