How slab leaks get fixed
Go Around It or Go Through It
Clay soil here strains slab pipes, and there are two real fixes.
- Reroute: new line, no jackhammer
- Spot repair: open floor at leak
- Every repair pressure tested before leaving
The honest downsides
- A reroute leaves small drywall holes to patch
- A spot repair won't fix aging pipe nearby
Reroute the Line vs Break Through the Slab
| Reroute | Break through | |
|---|---|---|
| Floor damage | None | Floor opened |
| Mess | Small wall holes | Concrete dust |
| Old pipe | Bypassed | Stays in use |
| Short runs | Overkill | Often best |
| Flooring | Untouched | Needs repair |
Slab Leak Repair FAQs
How much does slab leak repair cost?
Most repairs run $1,650 to $4,950, depending on the leak's spot, reroute length and flooring. You get one written number before work starts.
Will a slab leak hurt my foundation?
It can if it runs long: wet soil under the slab can wash out or swell and shift the foundation. Fix it soon, but don't panic.
How long will I be without water?
Usually part of one day. We cap the leaking line first, so the rest of the house can often stay on.
Do I have to move out?
Almost never, since a reroute keeps floors intact. If we open the slab, it's one area, closed off with plastic to hold down dust.
Will insurance cover it?
Many policies cover getting to the pipe and the damage, but not the pipe itself. We give you photos and a written report to send in.
