Slab Leak Detection in Craig Park
Slab Leak Detection in Craig Park is the process of finding water leaks under your concrete foundation before they cause major damage. We've been serving this area since 2016, and we know the housing stock here: mostly mid-century slab-on-grade homes with original copper pipe that's now 50 to 60 years old. That copper corrodes from the outside in, especially in Fullerton's soil. We use acoustic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging cameras to locate the leak without breaking up your whole floor. Whether you're in Craig Park Estates or near Craig Regional Park, we can usually tell you where the leak is within an hour of arriving. Our team is licensed, insured, and we carry the parts to fix most leaks on the spot. If you need Craig Park leak detection services, call us at 657-354-1087.

If the pipe is too far gone, we can reroute it through the attic or walls. We've done this in dozens of homes in the 92833 ZIP code.
View service →03Slab Leak Rerouting
Sometimes the best fix is to abandon the leaking pipe and run a new line overhead. We do slab leak rerouting in Craig Park using PEX tubing, which is more flexible and resistant to corrosion than copper. This is a common solution for older homes in Craig Park North and South. We can usually complete the reroute in one day.
View service →04Hot Water Line Leak Repair
Hot water line leaks are common in Craig Park because heat speeds up corrosion in copper pipes. You might notice a warm spot on the floor or a spike in your gas bill. We use thermal imaging cameras to find the leak fast, then repair or reroute the line. We work in all Craig Park neighborhoods, including Craig Park Estates.
View service →05Cold Water Line Leak Repair

How We Execute Slab Leak Detection in Craig Park
When you call us for slab leak detection in Craig Park, we start by asking about your symptoms: where you see the water, when it happens, and how much your bill has gone up. Then we come out and use a combination of tools. We pressurize the system with a pressure testing gauge to confirm there's a leak. Then we use an electronic leak detection wand and acoustic equipment to listen for the leak under the slab. If we need to see inside the pipe, we run a video pipe inspection camera. We also use a thermal imaging camera to spot temperature changes. Once we find the leak, we give you a flat price to fix it. We follow the California Plumbing Code and pull permits when required. Most jobs in Craig Park are done in one day.
Aging copper pipes in 1960s homes
Most Craig Park homes still have original copper under the slab. After 50+ years, the pipe walls thin and pinhole leaks form. These leaks often start small but can cause big damage if ignored. We use acoustic leak detection equipment to find the exact spot, then repair the section with new copper or reroute the line with PEX. We also test the rest of the system to see if more leaks are coming.
Soil movement from wet winters and dry summers
Craig Park sits on clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture. This movement stresses pipe joints and can cause them to crack. We see a spike in leaks after heavy rains. We use flexible PEX tubing for reroutes, which handles soil movement better than rigid copper. For repairs, we use compression fittings that allow for slight movement.
Slab foundations with limited access
Most homes here are slab-on-grade, so there's no crawlspace to access pipes. Finding the leak without tearing up the floor requires specialized tools. We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint the leak from above. We only break concrete where necessary, keeping the repair small.
California Contractor License (C-36 Plumbing)
Any slab leak repair in Craig Park must be done by a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor. We hold this license and pull permits when required. This protects you and ensures the work meets code.
IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC)
The UPC sets standards for pipe materials and installation. We follow it for every repair and reroute, using approved fittings and testing procedures. This is especially important for under-slab work.
Backflow Prevention Certification
If we reroute water lines, we may need to install backflow prevention devices. Our technicians are certified to test and install these devices, keeping your water supply safe.
Common local problems
Common Slab Leak Problems in Craig Park
Craig Park has its own set of challenges when it comes to slab leaks. The age of the homes, the soil, and the climate all play a role. Here are the most common problems we see.
Corroded copper pipes under the slab
Most Craig Park homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s with copper plumbing. After 60+ years, the pipes corrode from the inside out, leading to pinhole leaks. The minerals in our water supply speed up the process. We use acoustic leak detection equipment to find the exact leak, then repair it with new copper or reroute the line with PEX. We also test the rest of the system to catch other potential leaks.
Hot water line leaks causing high gas bills
Hot water lines are under constant heat stress, which accelerates corrosion. In Craig Park, many homes have original hot water lines that are now failing. A leak here means your water heater runs nonstop. We use thermal imaging cameras to quickly locate hot water leaks. Then we repair or reroute the line. We also check your water heater to make sure it's not damaged.
Foundation damage from long-term leaks
Slow leaks under the slab can saturate the soil, causing it to expand and shift. This leads to cracks in the foundation and walls. In Craig Park, the clay soil makes this worse. We find and fix the leak first, then assess the foundation. If needed, we can recommend a foundation specialist. We also install moisture barriers to prevent future issues.
Repeated leaks in the same pipe
If one section of pipe is corroded, the rest is likely not far behind. Many homeowners in Craig Park fix one leak only to have another appear months later. This is common with aging copper systems. We offer whole-house reroutes with PEX tubing, which eliminates the problem permanently. We run new lines through the attic or walls, bypassing the old pipes entirely.
Warning signs
Signs You Need Slab Leak Detection in Craig Park
- Unexplained spike in your water billIf your water bill jumps by $50 or more and you haven't changed your habits, you likely have a leak. Even a small leak can waste thousands of gallons per month. Check your meter when no water is running; if it's still spinning, you have a leak.
- Warm spots on the floorA warm spot on your floor usually means a hot water line leak. The hot water is escaping under the slab and heating the floor above. This can also cause your water heater to run constantly, driving up your gas bill.
- Sound of running water when everything is offIf you hear water running but all fixtures are off, it's likely a slab leak. The sound may be faint, but it's a clear sign that water is escaping under your foundation. This can lead to serious damage if ignored.
- Cracks in your floor or wallsSlab leaks can cause the soil under your foundation to shift, leading to cracks in the slab, tile, or drywall. These cracks often appear near the leak. If you see new cracks, call us for an inspection.
- Mold or mildew near baseboardsExcess moisture from a slab leak can create mold and mildew along baseboards or under carpets. This is a health hazard and a sign of a serious leak. We can find the source and fix it fast.

Local Case Studies in Craig Park
Here are a few recent jobs we've done in Craig Park. These show the kind of problems we see and how we fix them. Every home is different, but the approach is the same: find the leak, fix it right, and leave you with a dry floor.
Craig Park North
A homeowner in Craig Park North noticed a warm spot on the floor and a spike in their gas bill. They suspected a hot water line leak. We used a thermal imaging camera to confirm the leak under the slab in the hallway. We then used acoustic equipment to pinpoint the exact spot. We broke through the concrete, repaired the copper pipe with a new section, and patched the slab. The leak was fixed in one day. The homeowner's gas bill dropped by $80 the next month, and the floor was dry.
Craig Park Estates
A property manager in Craig Park Estates called us after a water bill spiked by $200. The home had a cold water line leak under the slab. We used an electronic leak detection wand to listen for the leak. It was under the living room floor. We rerouted the line through the attic using PEX tubing to avoid future leaks in the same pipe. The reroute was completed in two days. The water bill returned to normal, and the tenant was happy.
Craig Drive Area
A homeowner on Craig Drive noticed cracks in their slab and moisture near the baseboards. They had a slab leak that was causing foundation movement. We used a video pipe inspection camera to find a cracked joint in the copper pipe. We repaired the joint and also installed a moisture barrier to protect the foundation. The cracks stopped spreading, and the moisture was eliminated. The homeowner saved thousands by avoiding foundation repair.
Plan for the season
Seasonal Slab Leak Considerations in Craig Park
Craig Park has a moderate climate, but seasonal changes still affect your plumbing. Here's what to watch for throughout the year.
Spring
Spring rains can saturate the soil, causing it to expand and shift. This movement can stress under-slab pipes and cause leaks. We see a spike in calls after heavy rains.
Summer
Hot weather means your water heater works harder, increasing the risk of hot water line leaks. The dry soil also contracts, which can pull on pipes and cause joint failures.
Fall
As temperatures cool, the soil starts to contract again. This can cause existing leaks to worsen. It's also a good time to prepare for winter.
Winter
While we don't get hard freezes often, cold snaps can still cause pipes to contract and leak. Hot water line leaks are especially common as the heater works overtime.

What to Ask Before Hiring a Slab Leak Detection Company in Craig Park
Not all slab leak detection companies are the same. Before you hire someone, ask these questions to make sure you're getting a qualified pro.
Are you licensed and insured in California?
A licensed contractor has the training and insurance to do the job safely. If they're not licensed, you could be liable for accidents or poor work. Always ask for their C-36 license number.
What tools do you use to find the leak?
A good company uses acoustic equipment, thermal cameras, and video inspection. If they just guess or want to break up your floor without testing, find someone else.
Do you offer a warranty on the repair?
A warranty shows confidence in their work. Ask how long it covers parts and labor. Most reputable companies offer at least a one-year warranty.
Will you give me a flat price before starting?
You want to avoid hourly billing that can balloon. A flat price means you know the cost upfront. Get it in writing before any work begins.
Can you provide references from other Craig Park homeowners?
Local references tell you if they've worked in your area before. Ask for names and numbers of recent customers. A company with nothing to hide will provide them.
