Slab Leak Detection Newport Beach

Following slab leak detection and inspection, you get a clear and accurate idea of what is wrong with the plumbing under the concrete slab. If there is a pinhole leak, which is easily accessible for repairs, the direct-access repair is an effective option. It might be covered by your homeowner’s insurance. EZ Plumbing professionals ensure 100% reliable, first-time-right repairs in the shortest possible time in just one visit. We clean up before we leave, leaving you nothing to worry about.

If the leak spot is under expensive flooring and fixtures, digging through might not be an option you can take. If you have ample space around your premises, then tunneling under the slab is up for consideration. Our plumbers will access the pipe from the exterior tunnel and carry out the repairs. This can take a few hours. We offer services to get everything back to order again - refilling the tunnel, clearing the debris, etc.

Pipelining is a trenchless option involving minimal digging - only access holes are created. The interior of the pipe is cleaned. The plumber then applies epoxy pipe liners to seal the cracks in the pipe. It is also called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repairs, as the lining is done with an epoxy coating, which eventually hardens to form a new pipe.

Pipe coating is a process of applying coating on the exterior wall of the pipe and sealing the cracks. It also helps prevent corrosion and factors such as acid soil, wet conditions, and so on. The EZ Plumbing Restoration slab leak repair professional ensures a warranty-backed job.

We ensure that the coating is correctly and evenly applied and adheres to the pipe wall, leading to long-term peace of mind. Pipe Bursting involves the insertion of a new pipe with a “bursting head” that fractures the existing pipe as it is pulled through. The new pipe is dragged and pulled into place to replace the damaged pipe.

If the leaking pipe section is an off-grade or deteriorated plumbing section, then pipelining or coating might be a temporary fix. The leak can occur at any time within a few months. Partial repiping offers the perfect solution. If multiple plumbing lines under the slab are badly damaged, then full slab repiping is the only way to get rid of frequent slab leaks for decades. It would be a one-time investment that could prevent the costs of frequent leak repair.

Homeowners who want a permanent solution to slab leak issues also find slab pipe rerouting to be an ideal solution. This is, however, a complex procedure that requires demolition and reconstruction. Residents often have to leave the property for a few days. The process involves discontinuing the old slab plumbing lines (hot water, normal water, and drain/sewer). New water and drain line pipes are installed inside the walls and roofs. This implies a level of renovation work.
