Accurate Slab Leak Detection Beneath Concrete Foundations
Slab leaks are one of the most difficult plumbing issues to detect because they occur beneath concrete. Without specialised equipment, finding the exact source can lead to unnecessary damage and guesswork.
At G.X.R Plumbing & Gas, we use a combination of acoustic leak detection, pressure testing, and moisture detection tools to accurately locate leaks beneath slabs. This allows us to pinpoint the issue without tearing up large sections of flooring or concrete.
Our approach reduces repair costs, limits disruption, and ensures the leak is fixed correctly the first time.
