A slab leak will not wait, and it will not fix itself. Because the water escapes continuously beneath your concrete foundation, a leak that seems minor today can erode the soil under your slab, lift and warp flooring, soak drywall and run up your water bill, all while you sleep. That is why we treat every suspected slab leak as urgent and keep our phone line open around the clock.
What to do while you wait for us
A few quick steps can limit the damage before we arrive:
- Shut off the main water supply. Find your main shut-off valve and turn it off. This stops the leak at the source and is the single most effective thing you can do.
- Turn off the water heater if the leak is on a hot line and the water is off for a while, to protect the unit.
- Move belongings off wet or warm floors. Protect furniture, rugs and anything that could be damaged by moisture.
- Document it. Take a few photos and note when you first noticed the problem. This helps with any insurance claim later.
- Call us. Keep the water off and call (928) 470-4470. We will confirm, locate and repair the leak.
Fast, non-invasive emergency response
When we arrive, speed does not mean guesswork. We still use proper electronic and acoustic detection to pinpoint the leak before opening anything, because tearing up the wrong spot wastes time and money. Once we have located it, we recommend the fastest effective repair, often a spot repair or a reroute that can be completed the same day.
Is a slab leak really an emergency?
It is urgent, even when it is not dramatic. You may not see a flood, because the water is hidden under the slab. But the longer it runs, the more it threatens your foundation and flooring and the more it can encourage mold. Catching it early almost always means a smaller, cheaper repair. Waiting does the opposite.
