How We Detect a Slab Leak

  1. Isolate the system. We shut off the main and pressure-test hot and cold lines separately to confirm which side is leaking.
  2. Acoustic listening. Highly sensitive ground microphones pick up the sound of water escaping under concrete.
  3. Thermal imaging. Infrared cameras reveal the temperature trail of a hot-water leak across the slab.
  4. Electronic amplification. We narrow the signal to a spot you could cover with your hand.
  5. Mark and document. We mark the floor, photograph the findings, and hand you a written report.

Slab Leak Detection FAQs

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Warm floor spots, a spiking water bill, running-water sounds with everything off, cracks in drywall, and damp or buckling flooring are the main signs.

Will you have to break my concrete floor?

No — we locate first. Only the small marked section needs opening for repair, not the whole room.

How much does slab leak detection cost in Louisville?

Most jobs run $250–$450. You get a flat-rate quote upfront.

Can a slab leak be fixed without breaking the floor?

Often yes. Rerouting the line through the attic or walls avoids concrete work entirely. We'll explain both options after locating the leak.
