Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Las Vegas
A warm spot on the floor, a jump in your water bill or the sound of running water when everything is off? We find slab leaks without tearing up your home and fix them the right way.
Slab Leaks Are Common in Las Vegas
Most Las Vegas homes are built on concrete slabs with water lines running underneath. Over time, hard water, shifting caliche soil and the constant expansion and contraction from our temperature swings wear pinholes in copper lines where they rub against the concrete. Hot water lines usually go first.
A slab leak can run for weeks before you see it, wasting thousands of gallons and soaking the soil under your home. TPM uses acoustic listening, thermal imaging and line pressure testing to pinpoint the leak, then explains your repair options, from a targeted spot repair to rerouting the line overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Common signs are a water bill that jumps for no reason, warm or damp spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, and a water meter that keeps moving with all fixtures closed.
Is it better to repair or reroute a slab leak?
A spot repair makes sense for a single leak in otherwise healthy pipe. If the copper is thin or you’ve had leaks before, rerouting the line through the walls or attic usually prevents the next one. We’ll show you what we find and recommend the option that fits.
Will you have to jackhammer my floors?
Not always. With accurate detection we can often reroute the line and avoid breaking the slab. When a spot repair is best, we open only a small area at the leak.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
Many policies cover the cost of accessing the leak and the resulting water damage, but not the pipe repair itself. Coverage varies, so check your policy. We provide photos and written findings for your claim.
Why are slab leaks so common in Las Vegas?
Hard water, shifting caliche soil and big temperature swings wear on copper lines running under concrete slabs, especially hot water lines.
