SLAB LEAKS

Slab Leak Repair vs Rerouting

A direct repair opens the slab at the leak. A reroute abandons the leaking section and runs new pipe through walls or the attic.

Direct repair

Good for a single leak in otherwise sound pipe with accessible location. Involves breaking concrete and restoring flooring.

Often chosen when pipe is aging or leaks have repeated. Avoids concrete but opens walls; attic runs need freeze protection.

See the slab leak repair cost guide for published ranges by method.
