Pinpoint hidden leaks under concrete foundations without breaking up the whole slab.
The Quintana Family, a West Anaheim, Anaheim homeowner, had been living with mildew smell or unexplained humidity in ground-floor rooms for weeks before calling us. Anaheim's tract-home construction boom from the 1960s-80s left much of the city with slab foundations running original copper supply lines that are now decades past typical service life, particularly in neighborhoods like West Anaheim and the Colony Historic District. The written diagnostic report gave the follow-up contractor exactly where to cut, so the job stayed small.

Anaheim's tract-home construction boom from the 1960s-80s left much of the city with slab foundations running original copper supply lines that are now decades past typical service life, particularly in neighborhoods like West Anaheim and the Colony Historic District.
Water service in Anaheim is provided by Anaheim Public Utilities, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
A slab leak happens when a hot or cold water line running beneath your home's concrete foundation develops a crack, pinhole, or corrosion failure. Left alone, it can warp flooring, feed mold behind walls, and quietly inflate your water bill for months. Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, infrared thermal cameras, and static pressure testing to find the leak's exact position before a single inch of concrete is opened.
Because slab leaks are hidden under structural concrete, guesswork digging is expensive and destructive. We combine electronic amplification with thermal imaging to narrow the leak to a small, marked area, so any follow-up access work is as limited and targeted as possible.

“Our pool was losing about an inch a week and we thought it was just evaporation. Bucket test plus dye test confirmed a leak at one of the returns. Thorough and easy to understand.”
“Backyard spa was the culprit, not the pool itself as we assumed. They tested both separately and found it quickly. Appreciated not being upsold on things we didn't need.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
