Questions
Asked every week.
Is it a slab leak?
A warm spot on the floor, a meter that spins with every tap off, or a water bill that jumped are the usual signs. We confirm with acoustic gear before we cut anything.
Will you have to break the slab?
Often not. If the run is short we reroute the line overhead through the attic or wall and abandon the leaking section. We talk it through with you first.
Do you do the drywall after?
We cut square openings and can close them. Texture and paint are by your painter or ours, quoted separately.
