If you’ve noticed your water bill creeping up, heard the sound of running water when everything is turned off, or spotted warm spots on your floor, you may be dealing with a slab leak — and it’s one of the most serious plumbing issues a Riverside County homeowner can face.
At Davis Plumbing and Heating Inc., we specialize in professional slab leak detection and repair across Sun City, Menifee, Murrieta, Perris, and the surrounding Riverside County communities. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak occurs when a water line running beneath your home’s concrete foundation develops a crack or pinhole. The constant moisture can erode your foundation, encourage mold growth, and cause major structural damage if left untreated.
Warning Signs of a Slab Leak
- Unexplained spike in your water bill — even when usage hasn’t changed
- Sound of running water with all fixtures off
- Warm or hot spots on the floor — often a sign of a hot water line break
- Cracks in walls or flooring — caused by foundation shifting
- Mold or mildew smell under carpets or near baseboards
- Low water pressure throughout your home
How We Detect Slab Leaks
Our licensed plumbers use non-invasive electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of a slab leak — without tearing up your entire floor. This saves you time, money, and unnecessary damage to your home.
How Much Does Slab Leak Detection Cost in Riverside County?
The cost of slab leak detection in Riverside County typically ranges from $150 to $400 for the detection itself, with repair costs varying based on the method used (rerouting, spot repair, or epoxy pipe lining). The sooner you catch it, the less expensive the repair.
What to Do If You Suspect a Slab Leak
Don’t wait. Slab leaks worsen over time and can compromise your entire foundation. Turn off your main water supply and call a licensed plumber immediately.
