What Our Slab Leak Repair Includes
Every slab leak repair covina CA job includes detection, a written flat price, the repair itself, and a pressure test before we leave.
Work order
Slab Leak Repair- Electronic Leak Detection: We pressurize the system and use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to find the exact break. This takes 45 to 90 minutes and tells us whether the leak is on the hot or cold side and how deep it sits.
- Flat-Price Repair Quote: After detection, we give you a written price for the repair. It covers labor, materials, and cleanup. If we recommend a reroute instead of a spot repair, we explain why and price both options so you can choose.
- Copper or PEX Repair: We repair copper pipe with a soldering torch and new fittings, or PEX tubing with a PEX crimping tool. Both methods meet Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) standards and are pressure-tested before we close the access point.
- Concrete and Floor Restoration: When we cut an access panel, we backfill and patch the concrete to match the surrounding slab. For interior floors, we replace the section we removed or leave it ready for your flooring contractor, depending on what you prefer.
- Pressure Test and Walkthrough: We run a pressure test on the repaired line and check every fitting. Then we walk you through what was done, show you the test results, and answer any questions before we pack up and leave.

What Slab Leak Repair covina CA Really Involves

Copper pipe and PEX tubing run under the slab, and when they corrode, shift, or fail at a fitting, water escapes into the soil and eventually into your home. We use leak detection equipment to isolate the exact spot, then repair the line with code-correct materials so the fix holds.
Covina sits on a mix of older slab-on-grade homes and newer builds, and the region's hard water and occasional ground movement put stress on under-slab lines.

How Slab Leak Repair Runs in Covina
Covina's housing stock ranges from 1950s ranch homes with original copper to newer builds with PEX under the slab. The older copper is prone to pinhole leaks, especially in areas with hard water like Charter Oak and Sunset.
Charter Oak
Many homes here were built in the 1950s and 1960s with original copper under the slab. Pinhole leaks are common, and we often recommend a reroute rather than a second spot repair.
Covina Hills
Larger lots and some well water use mean different pressure dynamics. We check the pressure regulator and well pump before assuming the leak is under the slab.
Downtown Covina
Older commercial and residential buildings with a mix of copper and galvanized lines. We see more slab leaks in the residential blocks just off the main corridor.

PhotoHot Water Leak Under Kitchen Tile
Before: The leak had been running for at least three weeks, and the soil under the slab was saturated.
After: We detected a hot water copper leak with thermal imaging, cut a 2-foot by 2-foot access panel in the adjacent hallway, and repaired the line in three hours. The pressure test held at 80 psi, and the floor was restored the same day.
Reroute Saves 1960s Charter Oak Floor
Before: A 1962 ranch home had two prior slab leaks and the owner did not want another concrete cut. The copper lines showed heavy corrosion throughout the under-slab run.
After: We rerouted the entire hot and cold system through the attic with new PEX tubing in two days. No concrete was cut, and the old lines were abandoned in place. Every fixture was tested and the pressure held at 75 psi.
Cold Water Leak in Baldwin Park Rental
Before: A tenant reported water coming up through the laminate in a back bedroom. The landlord needed documentation for an insurance claim and did not want to displace the tenant for long.
After: We detected a cold water slab leak, documented it with photos and a written report, and rerouted the line through the attic in one day. The tenant stayed in the unit, and the landlord submitted the report with the claim.
Slab Leak Problems We Solve in Covina
A slab leak never fixes itself. The water keeps running, the damage keeps spreading, and the repair gets more expensive.
Water bill spiking with no obvious cause
Left alone, it also undermines the soil under your foundation. We detect the leak with acoustic and thermal equipment, confirm the location, and repair the line.
Warm spots on the floor
A hot water slab leak heats the concrete from below.
Sound of running water when everything is off
That sound means water is moving through a broken line under your slab.
Cracks in flooring or baseboards
Moisture under the slab causes wood floors to cup, tile to crack, and baseboards to swell.
Why Fix a Slab Leak Now
Waiting on a slab leak never saves money. Water keeps moving, damage keeps spreading, and the repair gets bigger.
Stop Foundation Damage
Water under a slab softens soil and can crack the concrete over time. Fixing the line early protects your foundation.
Cut Your Water Bill
A pinhole slab leak can waste 10,000 gallons a month.
Avoid Mold and Moisture
Standing water under carpet or laminate feeds mold within 48 to 72 hours.
Keep Hot Water Flowing
Hot water slab leaks are common in copper lines and show up as warm spots on the floor.

What Covina Homeowners Say
Covina Citrusline came out the same day, found a hot water slab leak under the hallway with their detection gear, and repaired it in about three hours. They cut one small square in the floor and you can barely tell it was opened. Fair price, no upsell.
We had a slab leak in a 1962 ranch house with original copper. They explained that a reroute through the attic would cost less than tearing up the whole floor and would last longer. Two days later we had new PEX and no more leak. They tested everything and showed us the pressure holding before they left.
I manage six rental units and one had water coming up through the laminate. Covina Citrusline handled the detection, repaired the line, and documented everything with photos for the owner's insurance claim. They worked around the tenant's schedule and finished in one day. I have used them three times since.

Yes. We can often perform slab leak repair without breaking floor covina homeowners worry about by rerouting the line through the attic or walls. This avoids concrete work entirely.
