Start with what you need
Follow the repair from the first signs through preparation and the final inspection.
From suspicion to final inspection
A slab leak often starts quietly beneath the foundation and can cause damage before it is detected. Trident Plumbing & Drain provides professional slab leak detection and repair to help homeowners protect their property and avoid unnecessary work.
Contact our Peoria office if you suspect a leak. We explain what the assessment involves, what to prepare before the visit and how the repair will be confirmed once it is complete.
Early indicators
Unexplained spikes in your water bill, warm or damp spots on floors, cracks in walls or flooring, the sound of running water when nothing is in use, and mold or mildew indoors can all point to a leak under the slab.
Mold or a musty smell near baseboards deserves particular attention, because ongoing moisture affects more than the pipe. Mention it when you schedule so the investigation includes those areas.
Prepare the home
Clear access to the rooms where you noticed warmth, dampness or cracks, and move rugs or furniture that cover those areas if you can. Make sure the technician can reach the water meter, main shutoff and water heater.
Gather any earlier plumbing records and recent water bills. Our trained technicians use diagnostic tools to locate the source without unnecessary digging or guesswork, and good preparation helps that work proceed smoothly.
Repair day
Once the leak is located, we provide a repair tailored to what was found. That can be a precise spot repair at the leak or, when necessary, replacement of the affected pipe, with the work planned to keep disruption to the home as low as practical.
Before work starts, ask which rooms will be affected, whether water service will be shut off for part of the repair and what the technician needs from you. Knowing the plan makes it easier to arrange the day around it.
Confirm the fix
The repair is not complete until the line has been checked. Ask the technician how the repaired section was tested and what the final inspection confirmed, and keep those notes with your home records.
Damage to flooring, drywall or other materials and any mold remediation can be separate from the plumbing work, so clarify what is included. Watch the water bill over the following months as one more check that the leak has stopped.
Trace the leak
The City's water crews repair main breaks and leaks, replace leaking service lines and look into customer complaints about unusually high or low water use. Pipes on your property are a different matter. City Code gives the consumer complete responsibility for installing and maintaining the water facilities on the premises, and says the City is not responsible for damage caused by defects in them. A leak under your slab is a private repair.
About 63% of El Mirage homes went up between 2000 and 2009, so any original supply lines have been under pressure for 17 years or more. The City's irrigation leak tips note that a water leak may surface 10 to 100 feet from its source, which is why a wet spot is not always above the leak. Once the leak is pinpointed, ask whether the repair falls under the City's permit for supply line repair or replacement; the same section of its guide requires a shut-off valve before the line enters the house.
Leak repair pricing
A slab leak repair can be a small spot fix or a new route for a whole line, and the price follows that choice. These are the factors that move it.
Before the floor is opened, ask your insurer what your policy covers. Financing through the GreenSky® Credit Program is available for larger repairs such as a reroute.
Leaks and the City
City Code, the permit guide and Census housing data shape what happens after a hidden leak is found.

We had one of those Saturdays that started out great until water starting coming out of one of our ceiling lights… she sent Quintin who got right on the problem and had us all fixed up in no time.

Ask our teamClear access to the affected rooms, the water meter, main shutoff and water heater, and gather recent water bills and any earlier repair records.
It depends on the findings. A spot repair may be enough, while a damaged or deteriorating line may need replacement. The technician explains the reason.
The repaired line is checked as part of the final inspection. Afterward, steady water bills and no new warm or damp spots are further signs the repair worked.
Surface restoration and mold remediation can be separate from the plumbing repair. Clarify what is included before work begins.
No. City Code gives the consumer complete responsibility for installing and maintaining the water facilities on the premises, and says the City is not responsible for damage caused by defects in them. City crews handle main breaks and leaking service lines.
Test it before you need it. The City's water services page says that if you have not closed the main shutoff since you moved in, you should do it now. A gate valve closes by turning the handle clockwise, and a ball valve closes with a quarter turn until the handle sits at a right angle to the pipe.
