Signs of a slab leak in San Mateo homes include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, cracks in the foundation or walls, and low water pressure. If you notice these symptoms, call a plumber for professional slab leak detection before the damage worsens.

"Toilet had been running for months and driving up my water bill. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper in about 20 minutes and the toilet has been perfectly quiet ever since. Should have called sooner!"
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
"Had a gas smell in my basement and was terrified. They arrived within the hour, found a small leak at a fitting near the water heater, and repaired it safely. Very thorough safety check afterward too."
