Slab leak detection and repair in Edmond, OK
We pinpoint the leak with acoustic and thermal equipment before any concrete is opened. No exploratory demolition.
Could it be a slab leak?
Most Edmond homes sit on a slab, so a failed line shows up as clues rather than a puddle. Tick what you have noticed.

The two-minute meter test
- Shut everything offEvery tap, the dishwasher, the washer and the ice maker.
- Find your water meterUsually in a box near the street.
- Watch the low-flow indicatorIf it is moving, water is going somewhere. Call us.
Locate first. Open small.
Breaking concrete to look is what makes slab leaks expensive. We narrow it to a small area first.
Acoustic listeningHears the leak through the concrete.
Line isolationPressure-tests each line to find the failed one.
Thermal imagingShows the warm trail of a hot water leak.
Three ways to fix it
| Option | How it works | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Spot repair | Open the slab at the leak, replace the failed section, patch. | A single failure in an otherwise sound system |
| Reroute | Abandon the line under the slab and run a new one through the walls and attic. | Copper systems, where one pinhole means more are coming |
| Full repipe | Replace the supply system throughout. | The pipe under the slab has already failed more than once |
Slab leak detection and repair typically runs $550 to $4,200, depending on the fix.
Why copper keeps failing under Edmond slabs
Soft copper under a slab sits in soil that shifts with our wet and dry cycles, rubbing against the concrete at every movement. Add mineral-heavy water on the inside and you get pinholes. Once one appears, a second within a couple of years is common.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?
A water bill that jumped with no change in usage, a warm or damp patch on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or new cracks in flooring. The quickest test is to shut every fixture off and watch the water meter dial. If it moves, water is going somewhere.
Will you have to break up my floor?
We locate first using acoustic equipment, line isolation and thermal imaging, so if concrete has to come up it is a small area at a known point rather than exploratory demolition. Sometimes a reroute avoids opening the slab entirely.
Why does copper keep leaking under my slab?
Soft copper in a slab sits in soil that shifts with our wet and dry cycles, rubbing against concrete at every movement, with mineral-heavy water on the inside. Once one pinhole appears, more usually follow, which is why a reroute is often the better spend than a second spot repair.
Does insurance cover a slab leak?
It varies a lot by policy. Many cover the resulting water damage and the cost of accessing the leak but not the pipe repair itself. Get our written diagnosis and take it to your insurer before you commit to anything.
