Slab Leak Detection Kearny NJ starts with listening, not digging. We use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint the break under your floor, then repair it with minimal concrete removal. If your water bill jumped or your floor feels warm, call us today.
What happens when you call
A slab leak usually starts as a pinhole in a copper line or a hairline crack in a PVC drain. Water escapes slowly, softens the soil under the concrete, and shows up as a warm spot or a high bill. We listen with acoustic gear, confirm with thermal imaging, mark the spot, open a small section, replace the pipe, and pressure-test before backfilling.
Kearny Slab Leak Detection Pros finds and fixes water leaks under concrete slabs across Kearny, New Jersey. We work on copper pipes, PEX piping, and PVC drain lines in homes and commercial buildings from Arlington Manor to the Passaic River waterfront. Our techs carry pressure testing gauges, pipe locators, and moisture meters on every call so we can confirm the leak before any concrete comes up.
What separates us is the equipment and the patience to use it. We run Sewerin acoustic listening devices and Flir thermal imaging cameras to map the leak path, then mark the exact break point with chalk before we cut. Homeowners in the Manor and along Belgrove Drive call us because we show up when we say we will and we leave the floor patched, not just drilled.
Every slab leak is different. A pinhole in a copper line under a 1950s ranch home reads differently on a microphone than a cracked PVC drain under a commercial slab. We carry the full kit for leak detection near me Kearny calls, from electronic leak detection equipment to video inspection cameras, so we can diagnose the problem on the first visit instead of guessing.
Once we pinpoint the break, we open the slab, cut out the damaged section, and replace it with new copper or PEX. We pressure-test the repair before we pour concrete patching mix, so you know the fix holds before the floor goes back down.

Electronic leak detection equipment sends a signal down the line and reads the return to find breaks invisible to the eye. We use this on pressurized supply lines and on drain lines where water has already started to undermine the slab.

Acoustic listening devices pick up the hiss and rush of water escaping a pipe under concrete. We use Sewerin gear to isolate the sound, then confirm the location with a pipe locator before we mark the floor for cutting.

A Flir thermal imaging camera shows the temperature difference where hot water is escaping under the slab. Warm floor spots and uneven heat patterns point us straight to the leak without breaking a single tile.

When water is pooling on the floor at 2 a.m. or your water bill tripled overnight, we roll a truck with the full leak detection kit. We shut down the line, find the break, and get you a plan before the damage spreads to drywall or framing.

Final pricing is confirmed after we see the job.
We follow the same sequence on every job so nothing gets missed. You get a clear explanation at each step, and you know what is happening under your floor before we open it.
We ask about your water bill, warm floor spots, and any sound you hear when the water is off. That tells us whether to bring acoustic gear, thermal gear, or both.
A tech walks the slab with a Flir camera and a Sewerin listening device. We isolate the leak, confirm it with a pipe locator, and mark the spot on the floor.
We open the slab, replace the damaged pipe section, and pressure-test the line. If it holds, we backfill with concrete patching mix and level the surface.
We run a moisture meter over the repaired area, show you the test results, and hand you a written summary of what was fixed and what to watch for.
Most slab leaks do not announce themselves with a geyser. They show up as a high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or a musty smell that will not go away. Here is what we see most often in Kearny and how we handle it.
A hidden water leak under the slab is the usual cause. We isolate the supply side with pressure testing gauges, find the break with acoustic gear, and repair the line before the water undermines your foundation.
That is a hot water line leaking under the slab. A Flir thermal imaging camera shows the exact path. We open a small section, replace the pipe, and pressure-test before backfilling.
Water escaping under a slab softens the soil and shifts the foundation. We find the source, repair the pipe, and check the surrounding slab for voids before the cracks get worse.
Mold needs moisture, and a slab leak feeds it. We locate the leak with electronic detection, fix the pipe, and use a moisture meter to confirm the slab dries out before we close it up.
