Slab Leak Detection in Boca Raton & Oakland Park

A slab leak happens when a water or drain line running through the concrete foundation of your home springs a leak. Because it’s hidden underground, the damage is often well underway before you notice it. If you spot any of these signs, call Erica’s for fast detection.

We pinpoint the leak before we break any concrete. Our licensed technicians use professional electronic equipment to find the exact location, so repairs stay small, targeted, and far less expensive than guesswork.

Slab leaks are common in South Florida’s older homes, where aging copper lines, shifting sandy soil, and hard water take a toll on the pipes beneath your foundation. We’ve detected and repaired them across Palm Beach and Broward County for years — with the same care we’d give our own home.

Whether you’re in Palm Beach or Broward County, a local Erica’s team is ready to help.

A slab leak is a leak in one of the water or drain pipes that run through or beneath the concrete slab foundation of your home. Because the pipe is buried in or under the concrete, the water has nowhere obvious to go, so it can cause foundation, flooring, and mold damage long before it becomes visible.

We use non-invasive electronic equipment — acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, pressure testing, and video pipe inspection — to pinpoint the exact location of the leak before any concrete is touched. This means we only open the small area we need to make the repair, instead of tearing up your entire floor.

Common causes in South Florida include corrosion of older copper pipes, abrasion from pipes rubbing against the concrete or rebar, shifting sandy soil that stresses the lines, high water pressure, and hard-water mineral buildup. Homes built several decades ago are especially prone to slab leaks.

Cost depends on your home’s size, the type of pipe, and how accessible the leak is. Erica’s provides upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect — no hourly surprises. Call 561-260-5763 for a quote on detection for your home.

Many homeowners policies cover the cost of accessing and repairing the slab and the resulting water damage, even when the failed pipe itself isn’t covered. Coverage varies by policy, so check with your insurer. We’re happy to provide documentation of the detection and repair for your claim.

We offer same-day and emergency appointments seven days a week across Palm Beach and Broward County. Because a slab leak wastes water and damages your home every hour it goes unaddressed, we prioritize getting a technician to you fast.
