Slab Leak Repair in Buffalo

Slab leaks are frequent in homes with older concrete slab foundations and shifting soil. We use specialized electronic listening devices and thermal cameras to locate these hidden leaks under your home's foundation.

We also assess for potential foundation damage caused by prolonged water exposure.

Yard and Main Line Leak Repair in Buffalo, NY

The service line between the meter and your house can crack from rocky soil, roots or ground movement. Frost reaches deep into the ground here, so water service lines must be buried well below the surface to avoid freezing. Wet spots in the yard, sinkholes or very green patches are common signs. We locate the leak, excavate carefully and replace the damaged section with copper or approved plastic pipe. For long or deep lines, a new trenchless line may be the smarter choice.
