Sacramento County · Detection
Pinpoint hidden leaks under concrete foundations without breaking up the whole slab.
The Delgado Family in Natomas, Sacramento noticed a water meter that keeps spinning with all taps closed and wasn't sure how serious it was. Sacramento's Land Park and East Sacramento neighborhoods, built mostly in the 1930s-50s, sit near the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, where seasonal water table changes cause more ground movement than drier inland areas, putting extra stress on original slab plumbing in these older districts. What could have meant a much bigger job instead only needed one targeted repair.
— The Delgado Family, Natomas, Sacramento
Sacramento's Land Park and East Sacramento neighborhoods, built mostly in the 1930s-50s, sit near the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, where seasonal water table changes cause more ground movement than drier inland areas, putting extra stress on original slab plumbing in these older districts.
Water service in Sacramento is provided by the City of Sacramento Department of Utilities, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
A slab leak happens when a hot or cold water line running beneath your home's concrete foundation develops a crack, pinhole, or corrosion failure. Left alone, it can warp flooring, feed mold behind walls, and quietly inflate your water bill for months. Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, infrared thermal cameras, and static pressure testing to find the leak's exact position before a single inch of concrete is opened.
Because slab leaks are hidden under structural concrete, guesswork digging is expensive and destructive. We combine electronic amplification with thermal imaging to narrow the leak to a small, marked area, so any follow-up access work is as limited and targeted as possible.

A technician arrives with acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure or camera tools matched to your specific leak type.
The leak's exact location is marked and explained to you in plain terms, so nothing gets opened up on a guess.
You receive a written diagnostic report you can hand to your plumber, restoration team, or insurance company, with repair or fix options discussed on the spot.
“Older home near Land Park with original cast iron. They explained the corrosion issue clearly and pointed to the exact section that needed attention instead of a vague 'somewhere in there.'”
“Appointment was easy to schedule and the technician was on time. Found the leak near our water heater connection within the hour.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
