Non-invasive leak detection and expert repair using advanced technology. Protect your home's foundation with The White Glove Guys.
Slab Leaks Demand Expert Attention
A slab leak—a leak in the water or sewer lines running beneath your home’s concrete foundation—is one of the most serious plumbing problems a San Diego homeowner can face. Left unaddressed, slab leaks can erode soil, crack your foundation, promote mold growth, and cause thousands of dollars in structural damage.
ASI uses advanced electronic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint slab leaks precisely, minimizing the need for exploratory demolition. Once located, The White Glove Guys will recommend the most effective and least invasive repair method for your specific situation—whether that’s a spot repair, epoxy pipe lining, or a reroute. We’ve been solving San Diego’s toughest plumbing problems since 1952.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
Slab leaks often go undetected until significant damage has occurred. Watch for these warning signs.
Unexplained Water Bill Spike
A sudden increase in your water bill without a change in usage is one of the earliest and most common indicators of a hidden slab leak running beneath your foundation.
Wet Spots on Floors
Warm, damp, or discolored spots on your floors—especially on concrete or tile—can indicate a hot or cold water line leaking beneath the slab.
Sound of Running Water
If you hear water running when all fixtures are off, water may be escaping from a pipe beneath your slab. This is a strong indicator that requires immediate investigation.
Foundation Cracks or Shifting
Cracks in walls, floors, or your foundation can be caused by soil erosion from a slab leak. These structural signs mean the leak may have been present for some time.
Mold or Mildew Smell
A persistent musty odor, especially near floors, can indicate moisture accumulation from a slab leak creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth.

Slab Leak Questions Answered
We use advanced electronic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing to locate leaks beneath your slab with pinpoint accuracy. This non-invasive approach means we only need to access the specific area where the leak is located, rather than tearing up large sections of flooring.
Many homeowners insurance policies cover the damage caused by slab leaks, and some cover the cost of accessing the leak. Coverage varies by policy. We provide detailed documentation of the leak and repairs to support your insurance claim.
Detection typically takes a few hours. The repair itself can range from one day for a spot repair to a few days for a full reroute. We’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.
Common causes include pipe corrosion from San Diego’s hard water, soil shifting, poor original installation, abrasion from pipes rubbing against concrete, and chemical reactions between copper pipes and the surrounding soil. Older homes with copper or galvanized pipes are most susceptible.
Yes. Water escaping beneath your foundation erodes the supporting soil, which can cause the slab to shift, crack, or settle unevenly. This is why early detection and repair are critical—the longer a slab leak goes unaddressed, the greater the risk of expensive structural damage.
