Slab Leaks in Redlands

A “slab” is another term for the concrete foundation under most houses. For many local homes, the water and sewer pipes run partially below the slab or are embedded in the slab. The pipes can deteriorate or break due to tree roots or seismic activity, creating a hard-to-reach leak within the slab itself. Slab leaks can happen to any water line, hot or cold, or any drain line that runs below or within the slab. 

If you believe you have a slab leak, it is important to contact our experienced plumbers as soon as possible. We serve Redlands, Yucaipa, Loma Linda, and all of the surrounding areas.
