Cause & Property Service
Detection, drying, and restoration for slab leaks — pinpointed without tearing up your whole floor, then dried before mold and heaving set in.
Water under your foundation is a slow emergency. We stop the damage.
A slab leak is a pipe failing underneath your foundation, where you can't see it and it never stops. Left alone, it undermines the slab, wicks up into flooring and walls, spikes your water bill, and feeds mold from below. Because the damage is hidden and constant, catching a slab leak early makes an enormous difference.
We locate the leak precisely, coordinate the repair, and restore the water damage it caused — drying the slab and the structure above it back to a verified standard.
These point to water escaping under your foundation:
Every slab leak damage job covers the full scope — one crew, start to finish, no surprise hand-offs:
Locate, repair, dry, restore — with the least demolition possible.
Using acoustic listening and thermal imaging, we locate the leak under the slab to a small, precise area — so access is targeted, not a torn-up floor. This is our leak detection work at its most valuable.
We coordinate the plumbing fix — spot repair, reroute, or repipe as appropriate — so the failed line is resolved, not just patched around.
We remove water and dry the slab and surrounding materials, which take time on concrete. We monitor daily until readings confirm it's dry.
If the leak fed mold or damaged flooring and walls, we handle containment, removal, and drying of everything the water touched.
We repair or replace affected flooring, baseboards, and drywall so your home is whole again, with full documentation for your claim.
Slab-on-grade homes from the 1950s through the 1970s are all over Santa Barbara and Goleta, and many still have their original copper or galvanized supply lines running through or under the slab. Decades of corrosion — accelerated by coastal salt air and, in some areas, aggressive soil — eventually wear those lines through. It's why we see slab leaks so often in mid-century neighborhoods like San Roque and Hidden Valley.
Sometimes a single spot repair is enough; sometimes rerouting a line or repiping the home is the smarter long-term fix. Insurance often covers the water damage and the cost of accessing the leak, even when it doesn't cover the pipe itself. We help you understand the options — our guide to slab leak repair vs. whole-house repipe breaks down the trade-offs.
