A slab leak under a Longboat Key house
A slab leak is a leak in the copper, PEX, or galvanized line buried in the concrete foundation. They are common in Florida. The clues are a warm spot in the floor, a water bill that jumped, a faint hiss when nothing is running, a musty smell, a door that suddenly sticks, or pressure that dropped at every fixture at once.
TK Plumbing finds the line with electronic acoustic detection and thermal imaging before any tile is cut. The repair is a spot fix, a reroute above the slab, or a repipe. You pick from a written, fixed-price quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
What we will and will not do
The approach we do not use as a default is jackhammering the slab, swapping a section, and pouring concrete back. Detection comes first. For most leaks the access is a small opening, the bad section is replaced with copper or PEX, the line is pressure-tested, and the finish is closed up to match.
- Thermal camera for hot-water leaks under the slab
