Mon–Sat · north and south of Las Tunas Drive

Raised floors north, slabs south

Many older homes north of Las Tunas sit on raised floors, while postwar houses and newer builds further south are often on concrete. Slab leaks happen in the latter.

We confirm a leak at the meter, then isolate the hot and cold sides.

Locating the leak

Acoustic and thermal tools mark the spot on the floor before any concrete is opened.

Repair or reroute

One failed point can be repaired through a small opening. A line with several weak spots is usually rerouted overhead.

Questions from San Gabriel homeowners

My house is on a raised floor. Can it still leak?

Yes, but under-floor leaks are reached from the crawlspace, not through concrete.

How small is the floor opening?

As small as the located spot allows.
