Your Menifee CA Slab Leak Repair Experts
A slab leak under or in your home foundation can be an extremely discomforting and potentially destructive experience. Many homes built in the Southwest United States in the mid-eighties were built with a concrete slab foundation and soft copper water pipes under the slab.
Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize they have a potential slab leak situation until some major damage occurs to the home.
A ruptured or leaking pipe under or in your concrete foundation slab can sometimes take weeks or months to appear but the damage it can do to your home and foundation can truly be massive; even catastrophic. Our expert plumbers in Menifee want to ensure that your problem is resolved and fixed in a timely fashion. Take immediate action when you see evidence of a slab leak because there is no way to tell how much damage may have already been done or how soon the damage might damage the foundation of building itself.
There are 3 types of slab leaks:
- Water leak ( a broken/cracked water line that is under or in your foundation)
- Sewer leak ( a broken/cracked line under your foundation that cause bad odor and stop up your sewer system)
- Gas Leak (a leak under your foundation coming from your gas line)
What causes a slab leak?
A slab leak can result from old fractured or cracked pipes buried under the foundation. They usually are the result of a water line or sewer line leaking which eventually can warp/bend or even lower portions of a foundation, cause cracks in walls, buckle a floor and even causing shifts in the foundation. Most of the time the cracked pipes are the culprit, resulting in water rising to the surface.
Other Common Slab Leak Symptoms Are:
- High water bills
- Unexplained wetness on floors, carpets or walls
- Wet spots appearing in garage slab floor
- Warm spots on floors
- Low water pressure
- Unexplained sounds of dripping or running water
- Wet spots or standing water adjacent to your foundation
- Soil expansion or swelling
- Sink Holes appearing adjacent to your Foundation
Slab Leak Repair Process
Slab leak detection involves using a leak detector to locate, within three feet, the source of the leak. Slab leak location detection goes beyond visual inspection and is considered a service. Once the leak is located, with your approval the repair can begin. The carpeting, flooring, cabinets, etc. are removed from the area and a jackhammer is used to break through the concrete slab. Once the leak is found and a patch applied, new concrete is poured and the flooring is restored.
If you have seen, felt or heard or even suspicion any of these symptoms are occurring, call our expert Menifee CA plumbers for a free visual inspection and estimate. As a matter of prevention, we offer early slab leak detection as a preventative maintenance measure to potentially save you thousands of dollars in foundation repairs.
Remember, not every plumber can do this type of plumbing job right! Imperfect or cheap materials can allow slab leaks to happen again and quickly. Your expert Plumbers of Menifee CA use only high quality materials and state of the art tools to ensure this problem won’t reoccur in the future.

Hi Wendy!
First, let me say how blessed I feel to have found IE Plumbling! Thank you so much for your help and prompt beyond belief response!!
I moved here about 9 years ago from Iowa, and have had home warranties in the past, but switched to Home Serve, who partners with So Cal Gas for my systems a few years ago. They are a nationally recognized company with super high satisfaction ratings, but when I needed a plumber, I found that they all came from Corona. Some were good and some were awful.
This last issue with the slab leak had me in tears for days. First, I couldn’t get anyone out for almost a week. Then when they did come, they did absolutely no diagnostics and asked not questions. But they did give me a ballpark figure of what it might cost. Yesterday right before I called you, Home Serve called to let me know with this provider, my out of pocket would be almost $4.5 K. That’s beyond what my coverage paid.
I almost passed out. I lost my husband last June, my car just recently took a chunk of savings, and the price they quoted with no diagnostics was more than twice the amount of the ballpark figure quoted. When Kevin showed up, it was an answer to prayer.
Needless to say, I have been on the phone with Home Serve numerous times over the issue. They have been wonderful to work with and upon explanation, helped me find options to include finding a local business and paying for the service myself, with reimbursement of contracted amount which doesn’t leave me destitute. I was overjoyed!
But while I was discussing the issue and the lack of partner plumbers in Menifee, also telling them how pleased I was to find IE and asking if it were possible to recommend them as a Home Serve vendor, they told me that they were always looking for qualified service providers. But they said, I couldn’t just recommend them, but that the business could apply to be a vendor online.
Thus my lengthy diatribe … you may or may not be interested, but they have a wide client base that contracts through So Cal Gas to pay premiums. This is the link to their website, and I put in a line to the vendor page too. Might be worth looking at 😊
In any event, thank you and Kevin again for everything!! You have more than surpassed the wonderful recommendations for service I received from you!! Praying you big, super big blessings!!
