Slab leaks in older homes and condos
Why it happens here
Many homes and condos along the corridor were built in the 1960s and 1970s with copper pipes under the slab. Decades of soil movement and corrosion cause pinhole leaks. The water seeps up through the concrete and soaks flooring and baseboards without a visible source.
Our approach
We use a hydrostatic pressure test kit to confirm the leak and thermal imaging cameras to map the moisture. We extract the water, dry the slab and flooring, and coordinate with a plumber to repair the line. We also treat for mold if the leak has been active for a while.
