What Is Slab Leak Detection & Repair?
Slab leak detection and repair is the process of finding and fixing leaks in plumbing that runs under the concrete slab of your home. In Vegas, caliche, expansive clay, and ground movement make these leaks common. We use non-invasive detection (acoustic, electronic) to pinpoint the leak, then repair or reroute with minimal concrete work.
About Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Las Vegas Valley
Slab leaks are common in Las Vegas homes. Caliche soil, expansive clay, and desert ground movement stress pipes under the slab. We use electronic and acoustic leak detection to find the leak with minimal disruption, then repair or reroute the line. Neighborhoods like Green Valley, Sovana, and homes along State Streets see frequent slab leak calls, largely due to aging copper supply lines in houses built between the 1970s and 1990s.
Nevada's extreme heat cycles cause soil to shift and contract, accelerating pipe corrosion beneath the foundation. We use Leica DigiPhone and ground microphone equipment to pinpoint leaks accurately before any concrete is touched. Repairs follow NV Energy and Southern Nevada Water Authority guidelines, including required permits when rerouting lines. Hard Las Vegas water also wears pipes faster-pairing slab leak repair with Water Softener Installation can extend pipe life significantly.
If your slab leak triggered slow drains or backups, our Drain & Sewer Services team can inspect the full line. We also serve Henderson and North Las Vegas homeowners with the same fast response. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule an inspection.
