FAQs
What are the most common signs of a slab leak in my Beersheba Springs home?
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm or damp spots on your flooring, moldy or musty odors, cracked flooring, or low water pressure. Because most supply lines in Beersheba Springs homes run under the concrete slab, any of these symptoms may indicate a hidden leak that needs prompt attention.
How urgent is a slab leak and why should I call for emergency plumbing service?
A slab leak can undermine your home’s foundation, promote mold growth, waste thousands of gallons of water, and drive up utility costs very quickly. Delaying repairs may result in structural damage and far more expensive restoration work. Our 24/7 emergency plumbing team in Beersheba Springs can stop further damage and begin targeted repairs immediately.
How do you locate a slab leak without tearing up my floors and foundation?
We use non-invasive electronic leak detection equipment, acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging, and pressure testing. These technologies allow us to pinpoint the exact location of the leak beneath your slab so we only open a small access point, minimizing mess and preserving your flooring wherever possible.
What repair options do you offer for slab leaks and how do you decide which one is best?
Depending on pipe condition, location, and overall plumbing layout, we recommend one of three methods: (1) Spot repair—opening the slab at the leak and repairing or replacing the short section of pipe; (2) Pipe rerouting—abandoning the damaged line entirely and running new piping through walls or attic space; or (3) Epoxy in-place pipe lining for certain materials. We discuss the pros, cons, and costs of each option with you before work begins.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leak detection and repair?
Policies vary, but many cover at least a portion of the cost to access the leak and repair the damaged pipe. Coverage for water damage to flooring or personal property is also common. However, insurance often excludes repairing the slab itself. We provide detailed documentation and can work directly with your insurer to streamline the claims process.
What happens when I call your Beersheba Springs emergency plumbing line?
Your call is answered 24/7 by a live dispatcher who will gather key details and send a licensed technician right away—usually in under an hour within the Beersheba Springs area.

We treat your home with respect, keep you informed, and don’t leave until water service is safely restored and the work area is clean.
