Woburn homes built between the 1920s and 1970s often have copper pipes sitting under concrete slabs that have been corroding for decades. A high water bill, warm floor spots, or a cracked slab are your first clues.

We isolate your water lines and pressurize them with testing gauges to confirm whether you have an active leak. This takes 20 to 30 minutes and tells us immediately if the problem is on the supply side or the drain side. You see the gauge readings yourself.
We walk your floors with thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices to find temperature changes and water sounds. This is how we locate slab leaks and pinhole leaks without breaking concrete first. Most scans take 45 to 90 minutes depending on square footage.
We use moisture meters to map wet areas behind walls, under floors, and around fixtures. You get a printed and emailed report with photos and thermal images. This is the document your home inspector, lender, or insurance adjuster will ask for.
You get a plain-English summary of what we found, where it is, and what it takes to fix it. The quote is flat-rate, not hourly, so you know the number before we start. No surprise charges, no change orders unless you ask for extra work.
If the leak is under a slab, we cut and break only the concrete needed to reach the pipe. After the repair, we pour a concrete patch mix that matches your floor. Most patches are ready for foot traffic within 24 hours.
We re-pressurize the repaired line and hold it for 30 minutes to confirm zero pressure drop. We also run a video pipe inspection camera through the section. You get written confirmation that the leak is fixed before we pack up.
