Slab leaks in older copper pipe
Why it happens here
Many Beverly Hills homes were built with copper pipe that is now 30 to 50 years old. The soil in this area can be corrosive, and the pipe expands and contracts with temperature changes. Over time, pinhole leaks form. Because the pipe is under the slab, the leak goes unnoticed until the water bill spikes or warm spots appear on the floor.
Our approach
We use electronic leak detection to find the exact location without breaking the slab. Then we reroute the line through the attic or walls using PEX tubing. This avoids major demolition and gives you a more durable pipe that is resistant to the soil conditions that caused the original leak.
