Water and Sewer Line Slab Leaks in Portland, OR

Slab leaks can affect both freshwater supply lines and sewer drain pipes. Our detection services are set up to identify both types of leaks, which present different challenges. Sewer line leaks often involve foul odors and slow drainage, while water line leaks can appear as wet spots or high water bills in your Portland, OR home. We have separate methods for each.

Post-Tension Slab Leak Detection in Portland

Many newer homes are built on post-tension slabs that use steel cables under high tension. Cutting into one without care is dangerous and can damage the foundation. We locate the cables with scanning equipment before any repair access is opened. This lets us repair the leak safely or recommend a reroute that avoids the slab entirely.

Hot Water Slab Leak Detection in Portland

Hot water lines leak under slabs more often than cold lines because heat speeds up corrosion and causes expansion and contraction. Signs include warm spots on the floor, a water heater that runs nonstop and higher gas or electric bills. Thermal imaging shows the heat pattern spreading through tile or concrete. We confirm with a pressure test and acoustic listening before marking the spot.

Electronic Leak Detection in Portland

For hard-to-find leaks, our electronic leak detection equipment sends a signal through your pipes and measures changes that indicate a breach. This technology allows us to locate leaks in various pipe materials, including copper, PEX and PVC, commonly found in Portland homes. It helps prevent exploratory digging, saving you time and money.

Emergency Slab Leak Detection in Portland

A sudden drop in water pressure, visible dampness or the sound of running water can indicate an emergency slab leak. JFL Plumbing offers emergency detection services in Portland to address urgent situations quickly. We focus on rapid response to limit water damage and prevent further structural compromise to your property.

Cold Water Slab Leak Detection in Portland, OR

Cold water slab leaks do not create warm spots, so they are harder to see. They often show up as a running water meter, damp carpet, a musty smell or water seeping at baseboards. We isolate the cold side and use acoustic equipment to listen for the leak through the slab. Line tracers map the pipe route so we know where to listen.
