Slab leak education

How long does slab leak repair actually take?

Timelines vary, but here's a realistic breakdown of what to expect at each stage.

Detection visit

Most leak detection visits take one to a few hours, depending on home size and how quickly the source is isolated.

Findings & decision

Once the leak is found, we walk through your options on the spot — repair, reroute, or repipe — so you're not left waiting for a follow-up call.

Spot repair timeline

A straightforward spot repair, once access is confirmed, is often completed within the same day or the next, depending on flooring type and material availability.

Reroute or repipe timeline

A reroute typically takes one to two days; a whole-house repipe is usually completed within a few days, with water restored at the end of each working day whenever possible.
