What our Slab Leak Detection service includes
Every detection visit covers the full diagnostic sequence, not just a quick listen. You get the isolation test, the acoustic and thermal scan, a marked location, and a written summary.
Work order
Slab Leak Detection- Full system isolation: We shut the main and pressurize the hot and cold lines separately with a pressure testing gauge. This tells us which side is losing water and rules out fixtures, irrigation, and the water heater before we look at the slab.
- Acoustic and thermal scan: An acoustic leak detection microphone picks up the sound of escaping water, and a thermal imaging camera shows temperature bands on the floor. Together they narrow the break to a small zone we can mark with tape.
- Marked location and photos: We tape the floor and photograph the scan results so you can see exactly where the problem is. You keep the images for your records, insurance, or a second opinion if you want one before any concrete is cut.
- Repair and pressure test: If you approve the repair, we cut a minimal access opening, replace the failed section with new copper or PEX tubing, seal the slab, and hold pressure for 30 minutes to confirm the fix. One crew handles detection and repair.
- Written findings summary: You get a short written summary of what failed, where it was, what we replaced, and what to watch for.

What Slab Leak Detection in Greer actually involves
A slab leak never gets smaller. Water keeps moving through the soil, the damage spreads, and the repair grows with it. Finding the break early keeps the fix small and the cost down.
Slab Leak Detection in Greer is the process of locating water escaping from a pressurized supply line or drain line buried beneath your concrete foundation. We start by isolating the system, then use an acoustic leak detection microphone to listen for the hiss of water pushing through soil or a cracked pipe. A thermal imaging camera confirms temperature shifts, and a pressure testing gauge tells us whether the loss is on the hot side, the cold side, or both. Once we know the line, we mark the floor and plan the least invasive repair.
Greer homes sit on clay-heavy soil that swells after heavy rain and shrinks in summer drought, and that movement stresses copper pipe and older PVC pipe until joints fail. Homes built before 1990 often have copper under the slab, while newer builds use PEX tubing that can still rub through at fittings. If you have been searching for slab leak detection Greer SC near me because your water bill doubled, we can trace the line the same day you call.

How our slab leak detection process works
Every job follows the same sequence: confirm there is a leak, locate it, explain what we found, repair it, and prove the line holds.
Tools and methods we use on every job
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Shows temperature differences on the floor surface. A hot line leak reads as a warm band, and a cold line leak reads as a cool one, which tells us which side to chase.
Confirms there is a leak and which section it is on. We pressurize the hot and cold lines separately and watch for pressure drop over 20 to 30 minutes.
Lets us look inside a drain line to spot root intrusion, cracks, or offset joints that acoustic tools cannot confirm. It also verifies depth before we cut.
Used when acoustic signals are ambiguous. We introduce a safe tracer gas into the line and follow the concentration to the break, which is useful on deep or noisy slabs.

How Slab Leak Detection runs in Greer
Greer sits on clay soil that expands after a wet winter and contracts hard in a dry summer, and that cycle is the main driver of slab leaks here. Homes built before 1990 usually have copper pipe under the slab, and the abrasive clay wears pinholes through it over time.
Downtown Greer
Older homes with copper under the slab and mature trees whose roots find drain lines. We see more root intrusion here than anywhere else in the city.
Greer Station
A mix of renovated older homes and newer builds. Renovations sometimes cover old slab penetrations, so we scan carefully before cutting.
Riverside
Mostly 1980s and 1990s construction with original copper supply lines. Pinhole leaks at fittings are the most common call here.

PhotoWater bill cut back to normal
Before: Two other companies suggested jackhammering the entire hallway floor without confirming the line.
After: We isolated the hot line, confirmed the loss with a pressure gauge, and marked the break within 4 inches using acoustic and thermal tools. One 2-foot access cut, a new copper section, and a 30-minute pressure test.
Warm spot gone, tile saved
Before: A Greer Station homeowner had a warm spot spreading under the hallway tile and a musty smell in the carpet. The moisture meter read high across a 6-foot section, and mold was starting at the baseboard.
After: Thermal imaging confirmed a hot-side leak. We repaired the copper line through a small opening, dried the slab, and pressure tested the run. The warm spot faded within a week, and only two tiles needed to be relaid.
Rental unit dried and documented
Before: A Riverside property manager had a tenant reporting soaked carpet and a musty smell in a ground-floor unit. The leak had been running long enough that the padding was saturated and the tenant was threatening to move out.
After: We responded the same afternoon, traced the leak to a failed solder joint under the slab, and completed the repair before the weekend. The carpet was dried and saved, and the owner received photos and a written summary for the insurance file.
Problems we solve for Greer homeowners
A hidden slab leak shows up in ways that do not always point straight to the pipe.
Water bill doubled with no change in use
A pinhole leak can waste 10,000 gallons a month. Left alone, you pay hundreds extra and the water keeps eroding soil under the slab.
Warm spot on the floor over a hot line
A hot water leak heats the slab and can warp laminate or tile within weeks. The moisture also feeds mold under carpet and baseboards.
Sound of running water when everything is off
That hiss is pressurized water escaping underground. It will not stop on its own and often signals a joint that is about to fail completely.
Cracks in tile and sticking doors
Water softens the soil under the slab and lets it settle unevenly. Cosmetic cracks can become structural movement if the leak runs for months.
Why Greer homeowners call us first
A slab leak rarely fixes itself. Water keeps moving through the soil, the slab keeps shifting, and the damage spreads to flooring, baseboards, and drywall.
Stop the water loss
A pinhole leak in a copper pipe can waste 10,000 gallons a month before you notice.
Protect your foundation
Water under a slab softens soil and causes uneven settling.
Avoid mold and rot
Hidden moisture under carpet feeds mold within 48 to 72 hours.
Keep the repair small
The tighter we pinpoint the break, the smaller the concrete cut.

Reviews from Greer customers
The crew isolated the hot line, used a thermal camera, and marked the break within a few inches of the actual spot. They cut one small section, replaced the copper, and pressure tested it. Bill is back to normal and the floor is dry.
We had a warm spot near the hallway that kept getting bigger. Two other companies wanted to jackhammer the whole room. Greer Leak Detection Pros found it with an acoustic microphone in about 40 minutes and cut a two-foot opening. Repair was done the same day and they cleaned up better than they found it.
I manage a small apartment building and had a slab leak in one unit that was soaking the carpet. They responded the same afternoon, confirmed the line with pressure testing, and had the repair finished before the weekend. They sent photos of the scan and the repair for my records. Straightforward pricing, no surprises.

The three clearest signs are a water bill that jumped 20 percent or more with no change in use, the sound of running water when every fixture is off, and warm spots on the floor over a hot line break. A moisture meter reading high near a baseboard is another clue. If the meter still spins with the main shut off, you have a leak.
Yes, when the foundation leak comes from a supply or drain line under the slab. We repair the pipe, seal the opening, and pressure test the line before we leave. If the water has already caused soil movement or cracked tile, we will tell you and refer a foundation specialist. Fixing the pipe stops the source.
The most common causes are abrasive soil against copper pipe, failed solder joints, and clay soil movement that shifts the slab and stresses the line. Root intrusion finds its way into drain lines, and older PVC pipe becomes brittle over time. Homes built before 1990 with copper under the slab see the most failures.
