Slab Leak Repairs in Corona, CA
Slab Leaks
A slab leak can be a disruptive and expensive plumbing repair. Typically, the first sign of a slab leak in Corona, CA is the higher than normal water bills. It’s nearly impossible to see a slab leak, since it’s usually in a pipe buried underground, covered by a 4” slab of concrete.

Scrutinize your plumber
When you hire someone in Corona, CA to repair your slab leak, make sure that the plumber has the proper equipment, skills and care that are required to do the job right. They should pinpoint your leak first and foremost, then access and repair the leak, causing as little damage as possible.

Things to watch out for:
Old-fashioned plumbers
You have to keep an eye out for the witch-doctors of the plumbing industry; these are the guys who show up poorly equipped, carting around a rented jack-hammer (owning your own is too trendy), and an inexperienced “apprentice”. Some of these plumbers still might use a divining rod, which is endearing, BUT if they start dancing with it, call 911. This approach has a hit-or-miss success rate and can cause way more damage to your flooring.
Plumber and Leak-Hunter pairs
There are many exceptional leak detection companies on the market in Corona, CA, but unfortunately, since they aren’t usually licensed plumbers, they can only do half of the job. They will come to your home with all the right equipment and locate your leak. Typically they will leave a large “X” on your floor when they feel that the leak is, and that’s when the plumber comes in.
When the plumber shows up, he breaks through the floor, “X” marks the spot, and with luck, he will dig down to the leak and make the needed repairs.
Now, a good plumber will backfill the hole, patch the concrete floor, haul off the debris, and clean up their mess…but not all plumbers will guarantee that the way we do, at Inland Empire Plumbing in Corona, CA.
