Brea Slab Leak Repair
Slab Leak Detection in Brea, CA
Slab leaks are not as obvious as leaking faucets or showers which makes them more dangerous because they often go undetected for months or years. When finally discovered, it’s usually becuase significant damage has already been caused. If you suspect that you have a slab leak, call the professionals at Pristine Plumbing for slab leak detection services. We’re readily available and can have a technician out as soon as possible.
Home Foundation Leak Dangers
Because home foundation leaks or slab leaks often go unnoticed, they have the potential to wreak havoc on your valuable home. While some residents may think slab leaks don’t pose a threat, here are a few things to consider.
Health Problems
Water leaks are known to create situations that can impact your health, and one of the potential dangers of slab leaks is that the water goes undetected for so long that it fosters the growth of mold and mildew. Breathing in mold spores over time can cause respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, sinus congestion and upper respiratory infections.
Structural Damage
If a foundation leak goes on long enough, it can weaken your home’s foundation, even if it’s made from steel or concrete. The ever-presence of moisture near the foundation can also cause it to shift, making your entire home unstable.
Financial Problems
In most cases, your homeowners’ insurance doesn’t cover the damage that results from slab leaks, which means you’re on the hook for the repairs regardless of how expensive they are.
Finding and fixing slab leaks is key to minimizing the damage as soon as possible, which is why you need a reliable slab leak detection company like Pristine Plumbing, Inc. by your side.
Signs You May Have A Slab Leak
While slab leaks are difficult to detect, there are warning signs that you may have a potential problem.
Hot Spots
A hot spot on your floor could mean that a hot water pipe under the foundation has burst and is leaking.
Pooling Water Near Your Foundation
If you notice that you have water pooling around the foundation, chances are, it’s a slab leak that’s causing it. Check the perimeter of your house and look for standing water, moss, mud, and saturated patches of lawn.
Cracks In Walls Or Ceilings
It’s common for hairline cracks to appear over time in your walls or ceilings; however, if you notice new cracks suddenly appearing with greater frequency, it’s best to call a slab leak detection company for an inspection.
Sounds Of Running Water
If all of your fixtures are turned off, and you’re not running any water in the house, but stil hear the sound of running water, there’s a good chance you have a leak under the foundation.
Spiking Water Bills
Most Orange County residents know what to expect from their water bills every month. And while minor fluctuations are normal, when you notice a sudden spike that never goes back down, it often means that you have a water leak somewhere in your system.
Remember that these issues don’t always mean you have a slab leak; still, it’s prudent to call a professional to get to the bottom of the problem, because letting a slab leak go on too long has severe consequences.
Our Slab Leak Repair Services
Slab leak repair is something that’s best left to professional plumbers and contractors because there’s no universal solution.
Slab leak repair methods include:
Jack-Hammer: One of the most common ways to fix a slab leak, professionals will use a jack-hammer to get through the concrete slab, exposing the broken pipe underneath the foundation, and fixing it.
Tunnel: Another method that your plumber may use is to tunnel through the dirt under the foundation to get to the location of the leak. The advantage of this method is that it’s the least intrusive way to fix the leak but it can also take longer to get to it.
Re-Piping: Lastly, your plumber may opt to re-route the piping. This is a good option because it replaces the entire pipe that has been affected. The new pipe eliminates the problem and helps avoid future problems from arising because of its condition.

Jim expertly solved the problem of a Y shaped connection between two sinks where the clog was down deep in the y. He was thorough, professional, and expedited the solution. Plus—the sink area was immaculate when he finished. Would definitely recommend him and Pristine Plumbing to my neighbors. Excellent work!

Very professional and pleasant. RB and Kyle took time to explain the process. They were able to find the leak within half an hour. Coordinate and plan out the repair in a timely manner. I’ll be happy to recommend them to my friends and family.

Anthony was very professional, efficient. and personable. The initial call was for a toilet leak/rebuild, but because of the age and condition of the toilet, we opted to replace that toilet and another one. We are very satisfied with the jobs he did.
