Calls are answered around the clock. The dispatcher asks for the year the house was built, whether there is a pool, what the meter does with everything off and with the irrigation controller off, whether there have been earlier leaks, whether water is surfacing and whether the main is off. Those answers decide where the visit starts.

A technician reads the meter first, then isolates the hot, cold and outdoor lines and tests each one. A line that cannot hold pressure is followed with acoustic listening and thermal imaging until the leak is narrowed to a small area on the floor. The floor is opened only after that, and only once you have chosen a repair option.

When the spot is marked you see it, and the technician explains the options that fit your house: spot repair through the slab, rerouting through walls or the attic, lining where it suits, or repiping where a line is failing in several places. The contractor sets the price and quotes it before work starts. Ask for the quote in writing.

After a repair the line is tested again and the technician explains what was done and where. Flooring, tile and drywall restoration is handled by other trades.

Arizona homes lose water in more ways than most, so the first job is working out where it goes. Close every tap and appliance and watch the leak indicator on the meter for five minutes. If it moves, switch the irrigation controller off at its own panel and read the meter again. If a pool is on the property, note the waterline against the tile and look at it again a day later.

Leave valve boxes, pool equipment and electrical gear alone. The checks are observations, nothing more, and the result tells the technician whether to look under the house or somewhere else. The ruling-out guides in the first group above explain each step.

No option is the default. The choice follows the condition of the line, where it runs, how many places are failing and what sits above it, such as tile or stone. One clear failure often suits a spot repair. A line that has leaked before, or a run that crosses several rooms, can make a reroute more sensible, and a line failing in several places can lead to a repipe.

The comparison page sets the four side by side. The technician does the same on site with your floor plan in front of them, and work starts only after you agree.

This site is about slab leaks only. We do not repair pools, spas, irrigation, evaporative coolers or water softeners, and we do not do drain, water heater, fixture or gas work. Where those things appear in the guides, it is as look-alikes: they can raise a bill or move a meter in the same way a slab leak does, and ruling them out saves a visit.

Where the leak is in the yard line or inside an appliance, the technician tells you what they found and where, and what that means for the next step.

A warm patch of floor that stays warm when the sun is off, a water bill that climbs with no change in how the household uses water, the sound of running water in a quiet house, damp baseboards or lifting tile, and a meter that keeps moving with every tap closed are the usual signs. Any one of them is a reason to take the meter readings and call.

None of them proves a slab leak by itself, which is why the first questions on the phone are about the meter, the irrigation and the pool. A slow leak can run for months with only the bill to show for it, so a rising bill deserves a meter reading before the next one arrives.

Close the main shutoff if you can reach it safely, keep clear of outlets, appliances and any equipment near standing water, move valuables off the floor and call. Do not try to break the floor or cut pipe yourself.

If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility and emergency services from outside. The emergency page covers what to expect when the crew arrives.

Service covers 73 cities and communities across Arizona. Housing changes a great deal from one region to the next, from 1960s copper-under-the-floor ranch homes to recent plastic-piped tracts, and in the northern high country many homes are not on slabs at all. Each area page says what is typical there.
