Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Las Vegas
Most Valley homes sit on a slab. We locate the leak electronically before opening any concrete.
Free estimate, quoted before we start
Almost every home in the Las Vegas Valley is built on a concrete slab, with water lines running through or beneath it. When one of those lines fails, the water has nowhere to go but sideways and up — which is why a slab leak usually announces itself as a warm patch on the floor, an unexplained water bill, or the sound of running water when every fixture is off.
The expensive mistake is guessing. Opening concrete in the wrong place costs a day of labour, a patch that never quite matches, and you still have the leak. We locate the line acoustically and with pressure isolation before anything is cut, so the opening is the size of the repair rather than the size of the search.
Depending on where the leak is and how the house is piped, the fix is either a spot repair through a small opening or a reroute that abandons the failed section overhead. We will tell you honestly which one your house calls for. A reroute costs more up front and is usually the right answer on a line that has already failed once.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair questions
- How much does slab leak detection cost?
- Detection is quoted up front before we start, and the fee is credited toward the repair if you have us do the work. You get the location findings either way.
- Will you have to break up my floor?
- Sometimes, but only after we know exactly where. In many cases an overhead reroute avoids the slab entirely, which is often less disruptive than it sounds and permanently retires the failed section.
- Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
- Policies commonly cover the resulting water damage and the cost of accessing the pipe, while excluding the pipe repair itself. We provide documentation and photographs you can submit either way.
