Pipe Rerouting and Repiping in Philadelphia

For more extensive damage, multiple leaks, or pipes that are too old and corroded to repair reliably, pipe rerouting is a long-term solution. This involves abandoning the leaking line under the slab and installing a new pipe through the walls or attic. This method skips the problem area entirely, providing a fresh, durable plumbing line. It is a common solution for aging homes in Philadelphia with original copper or galvanized plumbing.

Slab Leak Detection in Philadelphia

We start by shutting off fixtures and watching the meter to verify a leak. Then we isolate the hot and cold lines to find out which one is leaking. Using acoustic ground microphones, we listen for the sound of escaping water through the concrete. Thermal imaging shows hot water leaks as warm areas on the floor surface.

Slab Leak Reroute in Philadelphia

Rerouting is often the best long-term choice, especially with older copper lines. We abandon the leaking line under the slab and run a new PEX line through the attic and walls. Openings are small and placed where patching is simplest. Reroutes end future leaks in that section of pipe.

Slab Leak Pipe Rerouting in Philadelphia

For more complex or recurring slab leaks, or when the original piping is severely deteriorated, pipe rerouting is an effective long-term solution. This method involves abandoning the leaky pipe under the slab and installing new plumbing lines through walls or the attic, bypassing the foundation entirely. This removes future slab leak risks from that particular line and is often preferred for older homes in Philadelphia with aging copper or galvanized pipes.

Sewer Line Slab Leak Repair in Philadelphia, PA

Slab leaks aren't always about clean water pipes, since sewer lines can also leak under your foundation. These leaks pose significant health risks and can cause extensive damage.

When a slab leak is localized and accessible, direct repair is often the most efficient solution. This involves carefully jackhammering a small section of your foundation to expose the damaged pipe, then repairing or replacing the damaged section. Our technicians are skilled in careful concrete cutting and restoration, so the repair is effective and the area is professionally restored. We use durable materials designed to hold up to soil movement under the slab.
