Tell us what you're seeing. You get a straight answer on the phone and a local slab leak technician on the way.

Chapter 1

Sound familiar?

A leak under a concrete slab hides well. It can run for weeks under tile or carpet before a warm patch, a creeping meter or an odd bill gives it away.

No single sign proves a slab leak. Two or more together is a good reason to pick up the phone.

What you noticeWhat it may mean
A patch of floor feels warm, even hot, under bare feet.A hot-water line may be leaking under the slab and heating the concrete from below.
The water meter keeps creeping with every tap and appliance off.Water is escaping somewhere out of sight. A line under the slab is one possibility.
The water bill jumped and your habits didn't change.A steady hidden leak adds up quietly, month after month.
You hear running or hissing water with every faucet closed.Pressurised water leaving a pipe can carry sound through concrete and walls.
Carpet feels damp or wood flooring is cupping, and nothing nearby is leaking.Moisture may be wicking up through the slab from a line underneath.
Tile has cracked or lifted near a spot that stays wet.Water and movement below the floor can stress tile and grout.
The water heater seems to run almost nonstop.It may be reheating water that's leaking out on the hot side.

While the technician is on the way

A few safe steps can slow the damage and give the technician a head start. Anything beyond these is a job for the pro.

Describe the problem and we'll dispatch

Smell gas? Leave the home and call the gas utility and 911 from outside.

  1. 01Run the meter test. Turn off every faucet, the dishwasher, washer, ice maker and irrigation, then watch the meter for a few minutes. Any movement means water is going somewhere.
  2. 02Slow a hot-side leak. If the clues point to hot water, closing the cold supply valve on the water heater can slow it. Leave the gas and electrical controls alone.
  3. 03Close the main if water surfaces. Water pooling on the floor or seeping through grout calls for the main shut-off.
  4. 04Take photos. Wet spots, damaged flooring and the meter reading. Dated pictures help the technician and keep a record for you.
  5. 05Leave the floor in one piece. Pulling up tile or cutting concrete to hunt for the leak usually means a bigger hole in the wrong place.

Slab leaks across Los Lunas: every area is different

Los Lunas grew in layers, and the age of a house says a lot about what's under its floor. The 87031 area, home to about 44,000 people, runs from the old core near the river out to newer streets and open acreage. A slab leak call looks different in each.

Around the Village Center, many homes are older adobe-style and territorial houses, and foundations vary. Some sit on slabs and some don't, and the plumbing may have been added to or changed over decades. A technician here starts by working out how water actually reaches each fixture.

The 1970s–1990s streets of East Los Lunas are classic slab country. Copper supply lines often run beneath the concrete, and years of very hard water and ground that shifts with the seasons put stress on them. Most slab leak calls in Los Lunas come from homes like these.

Across the river, the planned neighbourhoods of West Los Lunas went up mostly from the 2000s on, often plumbed with PEX. Leaks there tend to show up at fittings, or where caliche and clay move beneath the slab.

Manufactured homes and many houses on larger lots aren't built on slabs at all. If yours sits on piers or over a crawlspace, an under-floor leak is found a different way, and we'll tell you that on the phone instead of sending the wrong specialist.

Slab leak help in Los Lunas, start to finish

Seven things people call about, each with its own page. Browse every service.

Slab leak detection

Pinpointing the leak before anyone opens a floor. Technicians use acoustic listening, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow the spot and tell the hot side from the cold.

How detection works →

Slab leak repair

A targeted opening through the slab at the leak, a repair to the line, a pressure test, then the concrete patched. Finished flooring is restored separately by flooring pros.

About spot repair →

Pipe rerouting

Abandon the failing under-slab line and run a new one through walls or the attic, so a later leak on that run doesn't mean another hole in your floor.

When to reroute →

Whole-home repipe

When leaks keep coming back, replacing the supply lines throughout the house and moving them overhead can make more sense than chasing one spot at a time.

Repiping a slab home →

Hot water slab leaks

Warm tile, a dog that won't leave one spot, a water heater that never rests. Hot-side leaks have their own clues and their own repair choices.

Hot-side clues →

Signs of a slab leak

Meter, bill, sound, floor and foundation clues, plus the common look-alikes, such as a running toilet, worth ruling out before you call.

Insurance questions

What to ask your insurer, how to document what you've found and how the technician's written findings can support that conversation. Coverage decisions belong to your insurer.

Slab leak questions from Los Lunas callers

Not seeing yours? Ask it on the phone.

Call before it gets worse →

A slab leak is a leak in a water supply line that runs beneath a home's concrete foundation slab. Because the pipe sits under concrete and flooring, you usually can't see the leak itself. You see its side effects instead: a warm floor, a meter that won't stop, a high bill or damp flooring. Drain and sewer lines can run under slabs too, but those are a different job, and if that's your issue we'll point you toward a drain specialist.

Water under the slab keeps running until someone finds it.
