Is there a warm spot on your tile that was not there last month? Has your water bill climbed for no reason you can explain?

We are available 24 hours a day, because a slab leak does not wait for a convenient time.

SIGNS YOU NEED THIS SERVICE
A slab leak often hides in plain sight until it gets expensive. Here is what to watch for.
- A warm spot on your floor. If your hot water line is leaking under the slab, the tile or carpet above it can feel noticeably warm.
- A rising water bill with no clear reason. If your household habits have not changed but your bill has gone up, water may be escaping somewhere you cannot see.
- The sound of running water. If you hear water moving inside your floor or walls when every fixture is off, that is a strong signal.
- Low water pressure. A slab leak can pull pressure away from the rest of your plumbing system.
- Cracks in your flooring or baseboards. Water pressure building under the slab can cause tile to crack or baseboards to separate from the wall.
- A musty smell with no visible water. Moisture trapped under flooring often creates an odor before you ever see a wet spot.
- Mold near the edges of a room. This can point to water traveling up through the slab at the perimeter of your home.
If two or more of these sound familiar, it is worth having a technician run a proper test before the leak grows.
COMMON CAUSES
Las Vegas homes face a specific mix of conditions that make slab leaks more common here than in many other cities.
Caliche soil movement. Much of the Las Vegas Valley sits on caliche, a dense, compact soil layer. As it shifts with temperature swings, it puts pressure on the pipes running beneath your foundation, and that pressure can eventually crack a pipe.
Copper pipe corrosion. Many homes built decades ago still run copper water lines. Over time, copper can corrode from the inside, especially where local water carries higher mineral content.
High water pressure. Some Las Vegas neighborhoods run water pressure higher than older pipes were built to handle for years at a time, which wears down joints and connections faster than normal.
Extreme heat cycles. Desert heat causes pipes to expand and contract every day. That constant movement stresses pipe joints under the slab until one eventually gives way
TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
Finding a leak under concrete without digging takes the right equipment, not luck.
- Acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of pressurized water escaping through a cracked pipe.
- Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences from a hot water line leaking beneath your floor.
- Pressure testing equipment isolates plumbing sections to confirm which line lost pressure.
- Electronic line tracing tools map your pipes under the slab, similar to the equipment used for pipe leak detection elsewhere in your home.
This equipment gives us real data, not a guess, so we get the repair right the first time.
HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Step 1: We listen first
We ask what you noticed, when it started, and where the signs are strongest.
Step 2: Meter test
We shut off every fixture and check your water meter. If it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere. If it stays still but symptoms continue, it may point to water leak detection instead.
Step 3: Non-invasive detection
Using acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing, we trace the leak to the exact section under your slab.
Step 4: Confirm the exact spot
Before touching your floor, we mark the exact location so any work is targeted, not a guess.
Step 5: Explain your repair options
We walk you through spot repair, rerouting, or a larger repipe, with pricing for each. Ready to move to repair? Our slab leak repair service covers that.
Step 6: Repair and retest
Once the repair is complete, we test the line again to confirm the leak is fully resolved before we consider the job done.

Why Las Vegas Homeowners Trust Our Slab Leak Detection Experts
A suspected slab leak is not something to hand off to guesswork. It takes a team that has actually traced leaks through Las Vegas soil before, knows what a false alarm looks like versus a real one, and can walk you through what happens next in plain terms.
Caliche soil shifts differently than the ground in most other cities, and older copper lines in Las Vegas homes wear in their own particular way.
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and pressure testing let us confirm a leak's exact location before anyone touches your floor.
Every technician we send is fully licensed and insured, operating in line with Nevada's requirements for plumbing and leak detection work.

F. A. Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions Las Vegas homeowners ask us most before booking a slab leak inspection.
Slab leak detection in Las Vegas typically costs between $150 and $450, depending on how accessible the leak is. This fee is often applied toward the repair if you move forward with us.
Repair costs generally range from $500 for a simple spot repair to $4,000 or more for pipe rerouting or a larger repipe, depending on the extent of the damage and the repair method chosen. Full details on the repair process itself are covered on our slab leak repair page.
?
It depends on your policy. Sudden pipe bursts are often covered, while leaks caused by gradual corrosion or wear typically are not. We provide documentation you can submit to your insurer either way.
Repair means opening the slab to fix the damaged section of pipe in place. Rerouting means abandoning that pipe and running a new line above the slab, through walls or the attic, so nothing under your foundation needs to leak again.
A spot repair can often be completed in a single day. Rerouting may take one to two days depending on your home's layout. We give you a realistic timeline before any work starts.
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day for urgent slab leaks, including situations where water is actively pooling or damage is spreading quickly. Visit our emergency leak detection page for more on how we handle active, urgent situations.
