Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Mid-Wilshire, CA
Service: Leak Detection | Location: Mid-Wilshire, CA | Result: Completed same day
The Problem
A Mid-Wilshire homeowner near Wilshire Boulevard contacted 24/7 Rooter Service after their water bill had nearly tripled over two consecutive billing cycles with no visible explanation. A warm spot had also developed on the hardwood floor in the living room.
What We Found
We performed a whole-house pressure test that confirmed an active leak in the hot water supply system. Using electronic ground microphones we walked the slab and amplified the sound of escaping water, pinpointing the leak to a specific location 14 feet from the water heater beneath the living room floor — exactly where the warm spot was.
What We Did
We made a precise 12×12 inch cut in the concrete slab at the pinpointed location, exposed the copper hot water line, and confirmed a pinhole leak at a fitting. We replaced the failed section of copper pipe and fitting, pressure tested the repair, confirmed zero leak, and restored the concrete. The homewood floor repair was coordinated separately.
Result
Leak stopped with minimal slab disruption. Water bill returned to normal the following month. Homeowner received documentation of the repair for their insurance claim.
