Slab leak repair in Alhambra
A spinning meter with every tap closed, a damp spot in the hall carpet, or the sound of running water at night are the clues. Text (310) 628-9399.
Not every Alhambra house has a slab
Older houses near Main Street often sit on raised floors, but many postwar homes and newer units are built on concrete. That is where slab leaks happen.
We start by confirming a leak at the meter, then separating hot from cold.
Locating it
We use acoustic listening and thermal checks to mark the spot through the floor before any concrete is touched.
The fix
A single failed spot can be opened and repaired. A line with several weak points is usually rerouted overhead.
We go over both options with you or your building manager first.
Ground-floor units
In apartment buildings the leak may sit under one unit but be fed by a line serving others. We isolate lines one at a time.
Managers get a written summary of where the leak was found.
