Under Slab Leak Repair in Costa Mesa
An under slab leak occurs when domestic copper water supply lines buried beneath your concrete foundation develop pinhole breaches from hard water mineral erosion or soil movement. In older Costa Mesa neighborhoods like Mesa Verde, College Park, and Westside, repairing an under slab leak does not require jackhammering your finished hardwood or tile.
We specialize in non-invasive overhead PEX reroutes that bypass the failing underground pipe through wall studs and attic spaces, permanently decommissioning the buried line within a single working day.
About Slab Leak Repair Costa Mesa CA
Once I find the leak, I look at your home's layout to figure out the best repair method. We can open the concrete, reroute the pipe through the walls or attic, or use epoxy lining to coat the inside of the pipe.
Direct access means cutting a hole in the slab. I try to avoid this unless the leak is right near a manifold or an outside wall. Rerouting is my preferred method for the single-story ranchers inMesa Verde. On a Mesa Verde home last spring, I rerouted the hot line through the attic in a single day, and we didn't have to touch their hardwood floors. Epoxy lining works well when rerouting is too destructive, especially if you have a two-story home.
