The slab leak we fixed under an Agoura Hills bedroom closet in November 2023 is typical. It was a pinhole in a one-inch copper line under a seventies house. The locator marked the leak and the post-tensioned cables, and we opened the floor at one spot and replaced the section. Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon houses are the right age for it.

The job
How it goes
A slab leak is a water line leaking under or inside the foundation. Soil, concrete, high pressure and hard water all wear the copper thin, and hot lines go first.
We isolate the line with the meter and gauges, and the leak-locating specialist we bring in marks the spot within a foot or so, plus any post-tensioned cables. A spot repair opens the floor there and replaces the bad section. A reroute abandons the line under the slab and runs a new one through the attic, leaving nothing in the concrete.
One leak on a sound line is a spot repair. A second leak within a year or two means the pipe is done, and a reroute beats opening the floor again. We'll tell you which you've got.

A slab leak under a bedroom closet
It started as a slow shower drain. We traced the copper under the slab and found a leak, and the leak-locating specialist we bring in marked it and the post-tensioned cables. We saw-cut and jackhammered the closet floor, found a pinhole in a one-inch copper line and replaced the section.

- Often the same day. It's seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village.
- Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
- We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodels. We handle the inspection.
- Do you have to break up the floor?

- Will my insurance cover a slab leak?
- Many policies cover the damage and the access work. The pipe usually isn't covered. We give you photos and a written scope for the adjuster.
