- Warped, cracked floors and/or wet carpet

How We Fix Slab Leaks
There are a few ways the pros at Liberty Plumbing repair slab leaks in your home or business. Which method we choose for you depends on the type of leak and its location.
- Spot repair – We cut into the foundation and repair the broken pipe. We use this option for single leaks that are easily accessible.
- Pipe relining – This option uses a special epoxy to form brand new pipes inside your existing pipes to stop any leaks and prevent future damage. This is the most cost effective method, as there’s no digging involved and we can utilize your existing pipes.
- Repiping – We replace your entire plumbing system. This is often the best choice for older homes. There’s no jack hammering through your concrete because the new pipes are rerouted around the outside edge of your home’s slab foundation.

How We Deal With Slab Leaks
Once we locate the slab leak, we begin the repair process. We have a few options, including re-piping, pipe re-routing, and pipe relining. Relining is a common choice. With the relining process, we slide a new liner through the broken pipe to cover and seal the leaks. It’s a trenchless repair process, meaning less mess and less cost to you!
