How to Spot a Hidden Slab Leak

A slab leak occurs when a water pipe beneath your home’s concrete foundation fails. Because these leaks are hidden underground, thousands of gallons of water can escape before you see a single drop. At Sewer23™, we provide specialized slab leak detection for homes across West Bloomfield and Metro Detroit, using advanced technology to find the exact source without tearing up your entire floor.

Critical Red Flags

If you notice an unexplained spike in your water bill, hear the sound of running water when all faucets are off, or feel a random warm spot on your floor, you likely have a slab leak. Left untreated, these leaks can wash away the soil beneath your home, leading to foundation cracks and structural damage.


Non-Invasive Detection: Finding the Leak, Not Guessing

The old-school way to find a slab leak was to start digging. Sewer23™ uses a “precision-first” approach to save you money on restoration:

  • Electronic Acoustic Listening: High-sensitivity microphones that “hear” the vibration of water escaping from the pipe.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: For hot water line leaks, we can see the heat signature through your concrete slab or tile.
  • Digital Pressure Testing: We isolate your plumbing system into zones to confirm which line is losing pressure.

Three Ways We Fix Slab Leaks

Every home is different. Based on our inspection, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective and least disruptive repair:

1. Direct Spot Repair

If the leak is in an accessible area, we open a small section of the slab, repair the damaged pipe, and professionally patch the concrete.

2. Line Rerouting

Often the smartest move for older homes. Instead of breaking the slab, we run a brand-new water line through your walls or attic, abandoning the old, leaking pipe under the foundation forever.

3. Epoxy Pipe Relining

In some cases, we can apply a specialized epoxy coating to the inside of the pipe to seal leaks from within, requiring zero demolition.


What Does Slab Leak Repair Cost?

We believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing. While costs vary based on the location of the leak, our goal is always to provide a permanent fix that fits your budget.

  • Leak Detection Services: Starting at $250.
  • Full Digital Estimates: Provided upfront before any work begins.
