Frequently Asked Questions
Find straightforward answers regarding leak detection techniques, slab repair options, insurance claims, and our upfront Written Estimate policy in Tempe, AZ.
What equipment is used to locate hidden water leaks?
Our technicians use digital acoustic listening rods to hear pressurized water hissing under slabs, FLIR infrared thermal cameras to trace hot water line paths through floors and walls, and digital line transmitters to map underground piping paths without opening walls or floors.
How does an overhead PEX reroute fix a slab leak?
Instead of jackhammering through finished tile, hardwood, or carpet, we disconnect the compromised copper line beneath the slab and run a new, continuous piece of commercial-grade PEX-a piping up through interior wall cavities and across the attic space. This completely bypasses the sub-slab failure permanently.
Will my homeowner insurance policy cover slab leak repair?
Most standard Arizona homeowner insurance policies cover the "resultant damage" caused by a sudden water leak (such as drying, floor restoration, and drywall repair) as well as the cost of accessing the leak. We provide comprehensive photo-documented diagnostic reports to assist with your insurance claim documentation.
Why is a sudden water bill increase a warning sign?
Even a microscopic pinhole leak in a pressurized water line running at 60 PSI can lose between 200 and 1,000+ gallons of water per day. If your City of Tempe utility bill spikes without an increase in household usage or irrigation changes, an underground or sub-slab leak is the most likely cause.
