A slab leak is a failure in a supply line that runs beneath or within your concrete foundation. Central Florida's sandy soil shifts through our wet and dry cycles, stressing rigid pipe cast into the slab, and hot-water lines fail most often because they expand and contract with every heating cycle.
Finding it is one job; fixing it well is another. There is almost always more than one way to repair a slab leak, and the cheapest-looking option is not always the least disruptive or the most durable.

- Hot and cold supply leaks under the slab
- Above-ground reroute to avoid breaking concrete
- Targeted slab access where a reroute is not practical
- Full repipe when the pipe is at end of life

- Documentation for your insurance claim
Three ways to fix it, least invasive first
The first option is a reroute: we abandon the failed section under the slab and run a new line above ground through walls and ceilings to bypass it. It avoids breaking concrete entirely, and for a single leak it is frequently the least disruptive and least expensive answer.
The second is opening the slab at the leak. When the line is otherwise sound and the leak is in an accessible spot, a targeted slab repair makes sense — and because we locate precisely, the opening stays small rather than becoming an exploratory dig.
The third is a repipe. If the pipe under the slab is polybutylene, or copper that has begun leaking in more than one place, patching a single failure just moves the next one a few feet along. Replacing the run is the honest fix when the pipe itself is finished.
Insurance and what it usually covers
Many homeowner policies cover the resulting water damage and the cost of accessing the leak, while excluding the failed pipe itself, and most exclude damage from long-term seepage. That last exclusion is another reason not to sit on a slab leak once you suspect one.
We provide written documentation of what failed, where, and what the repair involved — the itemised detail adjusters ask for. The coverage decision is your carrier's, but good documentation gives the claim its best chance.
