The Tampa slab-leak reality
Most Tampa homes built after 1960 sit on a concrete slab with copper or PEX supply lines running through it. When those lines fail, water has nowhere to go but up. Through the slab, the flooring, and your wallet.
Five early warning signs
- An unexplained jump in your water bill. Even a 15 to 20 percent increase month over month
- Warm spots on tile floors. The leak is on the hot-water side
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Mold or mildew smells with no visible leak
- Cracking grout, lifting tile, or warping wood floors
What we do when you call
We do not jackhammer the slab to “find the leak.” We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak first, often within a foot. Then we present you with three options:
- Spot repair: open the smallest possible section of slab, repair the line, restore. Best for a single isolated failure on a relatively new system.
- Re-route: abandon the failed line in the slab, run a new line overhead through the attic. Fastest, cleanest, and avoids disturbing the slab entirely.
- Full repipe: if the system has multiple failure points, repiping the whole house is more cost-effective long term.
What you do not pay for
- Diagnostic time when you book the repair with us
- Any guesswork. We locate the leak before we open anything
- Restoration coordination. We work with concrete, tile, and drywall trades on full repairs
