Slab Leak Repair in Columbia, SC

Fixed right, with the smallest possible footprint.

There is more than one way to fix a leak under a slab, and the cheapest option is not always the right one. We walk you through the real choices for your house, then do the work and put the concrete back properly.

What You Should Know About Slab Leak Repair

A spot repair is the least disruptive route when the leak is in one accessible location and the rest of the line is in decent shape. We open a small section of slab, repair or replace the failed piece, and restore the concrete.

Rerouting makes more sense when a line is old, has already leaked before, or sits somewhere genuinely difficult to reach. Instead of chasing failures under the foundation, we abandon that run and route a new line overhead or around, which often costs less in the long run than opening the slab twice.

Epoxy lining can be an option in the right circumstances. We will tell you honestly whether it fits your situation rather than pushing whichever method is easiest for us.

How Our Slab Leak Repair Works

A clear process, so you always know what's happening and why.

1

Review the findings

We start from a pinpointed leak location and the condition of the surrounding line.

2

Choose the method

Spot repair, reroute or lining. You get the tradeoffs and cost of each before deciding.

3

Do the work

Concrete is cut cleanly and only where needed, the repair is made, and the line is pressure tested.

4

Restore the slab

Concrete is patched and finished, and the work area is cleaned up before we leave.

Slab Leak Repair Questions We Hear a Lot

Spot repair or reroute, which should I choose?

It depends on the age and condition of the line and how accessible the leak is. One leak in otherwise sound pipe usually means spot repair. A line that has failed before is often better rerouted.

How long does a slab leak repair take?

Most spot repairs are completed in a day. Reroutes take longer depending on the layout of the house.

Will the concrete patch be noticeable?

We finish the patch to blend as well as concrete allows. Under flooring it disappears entirely once the finish goes back down.

Can I keep living in the house during the repair?

In most cases yes. Water is off only for part of the work, and the opening is limited to one area.
