Lubbock Slab Leak Repair

Once our plumbers have located a slab leak we can move on to advise you on your options for repair. Our goal is always to produce as little damage as possible in order to access the damage section of pipe and repair it. Below we have outlined some of the repair methods that may be available depending on the size, location, and foundation of your home.

Slab penetration in any other term simply means to access to the leak underneath the foundation of your home by utilizing a jack hammer to dig a hole to expose the leaking pipe. This is a very dated but sometimes necessary or homeowner preferred method of repairing a slab leak. This method can be a headache and quite costly once you factor in the noise and likelihood of having to repair/replace damaged flooring, carpet, tile, wood, laminate, etc. Many times, jackhammering through a slab and repairing a small section of line is a bad idea. When a section of pipe corrodes or develops leaks, it is usually only a matter of time before the another section of that same line does the same.

The tunneling method requires us to dig a tunnel to clear a path to the slab from underneath the house. This is a much less invasive method when compared to penetrating through the slab. When we tunnel underneath a home we remove the need to demolish the interior of a home, saving $1,000’s in repair costs. Tunneling does require digging which can temporarily damage areas of your homes yard.

Another option to repair a slab leak is a re-route. This is where we affectively abandon the leaking plumbing line and re-route a new line through an attic or crawl space. This is a 2 birds with one stone approach and many homeowners find it quite favorable when compared to other repair options. A re-route will ensure that the damaged line is no long used to carry water throughout your home. Instead a new line is run that routed inside a wall, crawl space, or attic. With a re-route there is no need for tunneling or penetrating through a slab making this the most preferred method by many homeowners.
