Common signs of a slab leak
Warning signs include a warm or damp floor, running-water sounds with fixtures off, a sudden pressure drop, moisture at the base of a wall, higher water use, or flooring that begins to lift or discolor.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair Options
Professional plumbing service
Experienced plumbers. Upfront pricing.
Warm flooring, water sounds when fixtures are off, pressure loss, or moisture near a wall can point to a leaking line under the slab. Citrusline uses non-invasive detection methods to narrow the location and then prices the practical repair or reroute options.
What we do
What this service includes
Non-invasive leak location
We use pressure isolation, acoustic equipment, moisture readings, meter checks, and the home's plumbing layout to narrow the affected line before opening a wall or floor. Once the leak is located, we show you where access is needed and how much material is likely to be removed.
Direct repair, reroute, or repipe
A leak may be repaired through a localized opening, bypassed with a rerouted line, or addressed as part of a larger repipe. We show you the likely access, explain the tradeoffs, and provide written prices before the approved work starts.
24/7 help for active leaks
If water is spreading, stay clear of wet electrical areas and damaged flooring. Shut off the main water supply when you can do so safely, then request emergency service. Citrusline's dispatch team answers urgent calls around the clock.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What are common signs of a possible slab leak?
Common signs include warm or damp flooring, water sounds with fixtures off, unexplained pressure loss, moisture at wall bases, flooring damage, and a higher water bill without an obvious fixture leak.
Does a warm spot on the floor prove there is a hot-water leak?
No. Sunlight, ductwork, and nearby equipment can also warm a floor. We combine temperature, sound, moisture, pressure, and the plumbing route before calling it a slab leak.
Will slab leak detection require opening the floor?
The initial inspection is normally non-invasive. An opening may still be required to confirm or repair the line, but locating the problem first helps keep that access as limited as practical.
Can an under-slab line be rerouted instead of repaired through the floor?
Often, yes. A reroute can avoid opening the slab when there is a practical, code-compliant path through walls, ceilings, an attic, or another accessible area.
