We start with an acoustic leak detection microphone and a thermal imaging camera. You show us the warm spot or the high-meter symptom, and we work from there. This step takes 30 to 60 minutes.

Slab Leak Detection
We pinpoint under-slab leaks using acoustic microphones and pressure testing before any concrete comes up. Most detections take one to two hours. If your water bill jumped and you hear water running with everything off, this is the first step.

Under-Slab Water Leak Repair
Once located, we open a small access point, repair or replace the damaged section, and pressure-test the line. Typical repairs run three to six hours. We restore the concrete patch the same day whenever possible.

Hot Water Line Slab Leak Repair
A hot water line slab leak shows up as a warm spot on the floor or a spike on the water heater. We isolate the hot side, locate the break, and repair it without disturbing the cold line running beside it.
Explore →
Cold Water Line Slab Leak Repair
Cold water slab leaks often go unnoticed until the meter spins with everything off. We use electronic leak detection equipment to trace the line, then repair the section and verify with a pressure testing gauge.

Copper Pipe Slab Leak Repair
Copper pipe corrosion is the most common cause of slab leaks in Venice homes built before 1990. We cut out the failed section, splice in new copper, and check the rest of the run for thin walls before we close up.
Explore →
PEX Pipe Slab Leak Repair
PEX pipe is tough, but fittings and crimp rings can fail under a slab. We locate the bad connection, replace it with Uponor or SharkBite fittings, and pressure-test the repaired run before backfill.
Explore →
Polybutylene Pipe Slab Leak Repair
Polybutylene pipe failure is common in Venice homes from the 1980s and 1990s. We repair the immediate leak and give you a straight answer on whether rerouting the whole run makes more sense than patching it again.
Explore →
Concrete Slab Leak Detection
We detect leaks through concrete using a combination of acoustic listening and thermal imaging, no exploratory demolition required. You get a marked location and a written finding before we quote the repair.
Explore →
Water Leak Detection Under Concrete
Water under concrete travels along the path of least resistance, so the wet spot is rarely above the break. We trace the actual line with a pipe locator and moisture meter to find the true source.
Explore →
Electronic Slab Leak Detection
Our electronic leak detection equipment picks up the sound signature of pressurized water escaping a pipe. It works on copper, PEX, and PVC, and it is accurate enough to mark a repair point within a few inches.
Explore →
Acoustic Slab Leak Detection
An acoustic leak detection microphone lets us hear the leak through the slab. We press the sensor to the floor, isolate the loudest point, and confirm with pressure testing before we cut.
Explore →
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
A thermal imaging camera shows temperature differences on the floor surface. Hot water leaks read as warm streaks; cold leaks read as cool ones. We use it alongside acoustic gear for a second confirmation.
Explore →
Slab Leak Pressure Testing
We isolate the suspect line, charge it with air or water, and watch the pressure testing gauge. A steady drop confirms the leak and tells us whether it is on the hot or cold side before we open anything.
Explore →
Slab Leak Pipe Rerouting
When a copper or polybutylene line has failed more than once, rerouting through the attic or walls is often cheaper long-term than repeated slab cuts. We run new PEX and abandon the bad line in place.
Explore →
Under-Slab Pipe Replacement
For badly corroded runs, we replace the under-slab section with new pipe and proper fittings. This is heavier work than a spot repair, and we tell you upfront when it is the right call.
Explore →
Water Line Repair Under Foundation
Water line repair under a foundation means working in tight access with the right tools. We keep the excavation small, support the cut edges, and backfill with compacted material so the slab patch holds.
Explore →
Slab Leak Repair Without Breaking Concrete
Not every slab leak needs a jackhammer. When the line can be rerouted overhead, we fix the leak without breaking concrete at all. We walk you through both options and the cost difference.
Explore →
Concrete Slab Leak Access and Repair
When access is required, we cut a clean square, remove the concrete, repair the pipe, and patch it back with a concrete patch matched to the surrounding slab. Most patches are walkable the same day.

Residential Slab Leak Repair
We handle house slab leaks across Venice, from single-family homes in Venice Gardens to canal-front properties near the Venice Canals. Same-day detection is usually available; repairs are scheduled fast.
Explore →
Commercial Slab Leak Repair
Commercial slab leaks cost you business every hour. We work around your operating hours, isolate the affected line, and get the repair done with minimal disruption to your tenants or customers.
Explore →
House Slab Leak Repair
A house slab leak usually shows up three ways: a high water bill, a warm floor, or the sound of running water with everything off. We confirm which line failed and repair it the same visit when possible.
Explore →
Condo Slab Leak Repair
Condo slab leaks need coordination with neighbors and building management. We document the leak location, handle the repair, and provide findings you can share with your HOA or insurance carrier.
Explore →
Townhouse Slab Leak Repair
Shared walls and stacked units make townhouse slab leaks tricky. We trace the line carefully so we are not cutting into a neighbor's slab, then repair only the section that failed.
Explore →
Foundation Water Leak Repair
A foundation water leak can undermine the slab if it runs long enough. We find the source, stop the water, and check the surrounding soil and slab edge for signs of settling or erosion.
Explore →
Underground Water Pipe Leak Repair
Underground water pipe leaks on the service side or under the slab get located with a pipe locator and acoustic gear. We repair the line and recheck the meter before we call the job done.
Explore →
Hidden Slab Leak Repair
Hidden slab leaks are the ones that run for months without a visible sign. If your meter never stops moving, call us. We find hidden slab leaks with electronic and thermal tools and fix them before the damage spreads.

How We Fix a Slab Leak
We isolate the hot and cold sides and charge the suspect line with the pressure testing gauge. A steady drop confirms the leak and tells us which pipe failed. No guesswork, no exploratory demolition.
We cut a small access point, repair or replace the failed section with proper fittings, and check the surrounding pipe for corrosion. Most repairs take three to six hours from cut to close.
Before we backfill, we pressure-test the repaired line and recheck the meter. Then we patch the concrete and clean up. You get a walkable surface and a warranty on the repair.
We start with an acoustic leak detection microphone and a thermal imaging camera. You show us the warm spot or the high-meter symptom, and we work from there. This step takes 30 to 60 minutes.

(941) 393-1086 →Most slab leak repairs in Venice run $850 to $1,850 for a spot repair, and $2,400 to $6,500 if the line needs rerouting or full replacement. Detection alone is $225 to $375. The detection fee comes off your repair when you book it with us, and we quote the job after we locate the leak, not before.
The right company locates the leak before cutting concrete, holds a Florida State Plumbing License, and warranties the repair. Ask whether they use acoustic and thermal detection, and whether they pressure-test after the fix. We do all three on every job, and we are local to Venice, not a call center.

The best service uses more than one method. We combine acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and pressure testing so the result is confirmed, not guessed. That combination works on copper pipe, PEX pipe, and polybutylene pipe, and it keeps the concrete cut small.
