Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Charlotte

Yes, in most cases. We can often access the leak through a small spot cut, reroute the pipe through walls or ceiling to bypass the slab entirely, or do a localized epoxy lining. Tearing up your whole slab is the last resort, not the first option.

It depends on your policy. Many homeowners policies cover sudden damage from slab leaks but exclude long-term seepage. Acting fast helps your claim. We provide written documentation and photos for every job to support your insurance filing.

The big three: soil shifting under the foundation, pipe corrosion (especially copper in older homes), and abrasion from concrete contact over decades. Charlotte's clay soil and aging housing stock make slab leaks fairly common in homes built before 1990.

Fix it now. Slab leaks do not heal — they grow. Every day water is leaking under your foundation, you're losing concrete strength, soaking framing, and feeding mold. The repair gets exponentially more expensive the longer you wait.

Most spot repairs are completed in a single day. Pipe rerouting typically takes one to two days. Full repipes are larger jobs but still measured in days, not weeks. We'll give you a firm timeline before starting.

We seal the access point and patch the slab cleanly. Floor refinishing (tile, hardwood, carpet) is usually handled by a finish trade — we'll coordinate timing with whoever you use.

Sometimes. If your home has older copper pipes that have already had one slab leak, the rest of the line is at risk. Rerouting through accessible walls eliminates the slab as a failure point — we'll explain the trade-offs based on what we find.
