What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under or within your concrete foundation. Over time, movement in the soil, corrosion, or installation issues can cause these lines to:
Crack
Develop pinhole leaks
Separate at fittings or joints
Because these pipes are under the slab, slab leaks can be hard to spot until you notice:
Warm or damp areas on floors
Unexplained high water bills
Running water sounds when everything is off
Cracks or moisture near baseboards or in tile
Slab leak detection and repair is about finding the leak accurately and then choosing the right repair method for your home.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Focused detection tools: We use specialized slab leak detection methods (acoustic listening, pressure checks, and more) instead of guesswork.
Local slab experience: Familiar with Las Vegas-area slab homes, desert soil movement, and typical plumbing layouts under the slab.
Repair options, not just one approach: We explain direct repair vs. reroute vs. partial repipe, so you understand your choices.
Damage-minimizing mindset: We aim to limit how much concrete and flooring must be opened, when conditions allow.
Clear communication: You’ll know what we found, where the leak is, and what each repair option means before we start.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for slab leak repair in Las Vegas and nearby communities.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If you suspect a slab leak, turn off water to fixtures you don’t need right away and avoid long showers, laundry loads, or irrigation until a plumber checks it.
Watch for hot spots on tile or wood floors, constant meter movement when no water is in use, or damp carpet and flooring near interior walls.
Move rugs, furniture, and personal items away from damp or warm areas to limit damage and allow inspection.
Take a few photos or short videos of wet spots, cracks, or any unusual floor conditions that may help with diagnosis or insurance later.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and describe your symptoms (warm floors, high bill, damp areas, running water noises) so we can schedule slab leak detection and repair as quickly as possible.
Common Slab Leak Symptoms & Situations
Warm spots on tile or wood floors (often hot water slab leaks)
Sudden spikes in water bills with no change in usage
Constant sound of running water even when fixtures are off
Damp carpet, buckling wood, or loose tiles near interior walls
Cracks in flooring or along baseboards with signs of moisture
Water meter spinning when all water is turned off inside the home
If you’re seeing one or more of these signs, a slab leak in Las Vegas is a real possibility—and it’s important to check it sooner rather than later.
Call & Symptom Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us what you’re noticing—warm floors, high bill, running water sounds, damp flooring, or visible cracks. We schedule a visit for slab leak detection and initial evaluation.
On-Site Inspection & Leak Confirmation
Your plumber checks fixtures, reads the meter, and may perform isolation and pressure tests to confirm that a hidden leak is present in the slab plumbing rather than a visible line or fixture.
Slab Leak Locating & Diagnosis
Using slab leak detection tools and methods (acoustic listening, thermal clues, isolation testing), we work to pinpoint the leak area under the slab or along in-slab runs so we don’t have to open more than necessary.
Repair Options & Upfront Pricing
Once we identify the leak location and line condition, we explain options—such as direct spot repair through the slab, rerouting the line above slab, or repiping sections of the system—with clear, upfront pricing for each approach.
Slab Leak Repair or Reroute Work
We perform the chosen repair method: carefully opening the slab where needed for direct repairs, or rerouting new piping through walls/attics to bypass problematic in-slab sections. All work is done using code-compliant materials and methods.
Testing, Backfill & Next-Step Guidance
We pressure-test the repaired or rerouted system, verify no further leaks, and restore water service. We then backfill and patch our work area (or coordinate steps) as specified, and provide guidance on dry-out, flooring repair, or future prevention.
What’s Included
On-site inspection and confirmation of suspected slab leak symptoms
Slab leak detection and locating using appropriate testing and tools
Explanation of repair options (spot repair, reroute, partial repipe) with upfront pricing
Slab leak repair or line reroute work using approved materials and methods
Pressure testing and system check after repairs to confirm leak resolution
Documentation and recommendations for any restoration work and future maintenance
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many slab leak detection and initial repairs start with same-day leak locating and stabilization, while full repairs or reroutes may take additional time depending on access and scope.
You receive clear, upfront pricing once we locate the leak and determine the best repair approach, before we proceed with the main repair.
Costs depend on location and depth of the leak, repair method chosen (direct repair vs. reroute vs. repipe), home layout and access, and the amount of concrete/flooring that must be opened.
Every project comes with a line-item estimate showing diagnostic, leak detection, labor, materials, and any optional upgrades or additional repiping clearly labeled.
Insurance & Claims Help
Slab leaks often lead to water damage that may involve insurance:
We can document where the leak was, what pipe failed, and what steps we took to repair or reroute it.
Our detailed invoices and notes can help your adjuster understand the source of the leak and the repairs performed.
We can coordinate timing with mitigation or restoration companies that handle dry-out, flooring, and structural repairs.
(Coverage, limits, and approvals are always decided by your specific insurance policy and carrier; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Hidden structural damage: Slab leaks can soak concrete, subflooring, and structural components, causing more extensive damage over time.
Mold and odors: Persistent moisture under flooring can lead to musty smells and potential mold growth.
Rising water bills: A slab leak can waste a significant amount of water month after month.
Worsening leaks: Small leaks can grow, causing larger wet areas, more damage, and higher repair costs.
Multiple leak points: Once a line under the slab begins to fail, there’s a higher chance of additional leaks along the same run.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Professional leak detection techniques: We use testing and locating methods designed for slab homes, not random jackhammering.
Code-compliant piping: Repairs and reroutes use approved materials (copper, PEX, or others as appropriate) sized and installed to local code.
Thoughtful repair choices: We discuss short-term fixes vs. long-term solutions, including reroutes or repipes when they make more sense than repeated slab breaks.
Secure supports & protection: New piping is properly supported and protected from sharp edges, stress, and temperature extremes.
Hard-water awareness: Las Vegas hard water is factored into material choice and recommendations for water treatment or maintenance to help protect your new lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a slab leak vs. another kind of leak?
Common slab leak signs include warm floors, high water bills, and sounds of running water when everything is off. We use tests and detection tools to confirm whether the leak is under the slab or in another part of the system.
Do you always have to jackhammer the floor for slab leaks?
Not always. Sometimes a direct repair through the slab is best; other times, rerouting the line above the slab is smarter long-term. We’ll explain pros, cons, and costs for each option.
Is slab leak detection included in the repair cost?
Slab leak detection is usually a separate diagnostic step, but once we locate the leak, we’ll provide clear pricing for repair options so you know what’s involved from start to finish.
Can a slab leak cause foundation problems?
Left unchecked, slab leaks can undermine soil and create moisture issues that may affect flooring and structural elements. Early detection and repair help reduce that risk.
What causes slab leaks in Las Vegas homes?
Common causes include pipe corrosion, soil movement, installation issues, and long-term wear, especially in older piping systems or high-pressure/hard water conditions.
