Every slab leak is different. A pinhole in a copper line under a 1950s ranch home reads differently on a microphone than a cracked PVC drain under a commercial slab. We carry the full kit for leak detection near me Kearny calls, from electronic leak detection equipment to video inspection cameras, so we can diagnose the problem on the first visit instead of guessing.

Once we pinpoint the break, we open the slab, cut out the damaged section, and replace it with new copper or PEX. We pressure-test the repair before we pour concrete patching mix, so you know the fix holds before the floor goes back down.

Acoustic listening devices pick up the hiss and rush of water escaping a pipe under concrete. We use Sewerin gear to isolate the sound, then confirm the location with a pipe locator before we mark the floor for cutting.

A Flir thermal imaging camera shows the temperature difference where hot water is escaping under the slab. Warm floor spots and uneven heat patterns point us straight to the leak without breaking a single tile.

When water is pooling on the floor at 2 a.m. or your water bill tripled overnight, we roll a truck with the full leak detection kit. We shut down the line, find the break, and get you a plan before the damage spreads to drywall or framing.

We follow the same sequence on every job so nothing gets missed. You get a clear explanation at each step, and you know what is happening under your floor before we open it.
We ask about your water bill, warm floor spots, and any sound you hear when the water is off. That tells us whether to bring acoustic gear, thermal gear, or both.
A tech walks the slab with a Flir camera and a Sewerin listening device. We isolate the leak, confirm it with a pipe locator, and mark the spot on the floor.
We open the slab, replace the damaged pipe section, and pressure-test the line. If it holds, we backfill with concrete patching mix and level the surface.
We run a moisture meter over the repaired area, show you the test results, and hand you a written summary of what was fixed and what to watch for.
We are not a franchise call center. We are a Kearny shop with techs who know the housing stock here, from the older copper systems in Arlington Manor to the newer PEX builds near the Belleville line. That local knowledge saves you time and concrete.
Acoustic, thermal, and electronic gear ride on every truck. We confirm the leak with a second tool before we commit to a location.
The new pipe section gets tested while it is still exposed. If it does not hold, we fix it before the concrete goes back down.
Concrete patching mix goes in and gets leveled to match the surrounding floor. You are not left with a dip or a trip hazard.
You get the test readings, the repair details, and what to watch for. No guessing about what was done under your floor.
Here are the questions we get most often from Kearny homeowners about slab leaks, detection, and repair. If yours is not here, call us and we will walk you through it.

The best company is the one that finds the leak without tearing up your whole floor. We use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing gauges to pinpoint the break before any concrete comes up. We are licensed, local to Kearny, and we pressure-test every repair before we backfill.
Look for a company that carries multiple detection tools, not just one. Acoustic gear finds pressurized supply leaks, thermal cameras find hot water leaks, and electronic equipment finds drain leaks. We bring all three on every call so we can confirm the location before we cut.
Yes, if water is actively pooling on your floor, your water bill tripled overnight, or you smell mold. A slab leak can undermine your foundation in a matter of days. Call us and we will roll a truck with the full detection kit and shut the line down before the damage spreads.
Ask what tools they use, whether they pressure-test after the repair, and if they follow IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code. A company that only offers to jackhammer the floor is guessing. We mark the leak with chalk and show you the reading before we open anything.
A locate-and-mark visit runs about $249 flat. If we find a leak and you want us to repair it, typical jobs run $1,450 to $2,800 depending on the pipe material and how much concrete has to come up. We give you a written estimate before we start any work.
