Burst pipe / slab leak
Active leak, burst pipe, or suspected slab leak
Diagnostic visit$89 · credited
Sample pricing — illustrative only, not an offer.
A licensed pro comes out to find and diagnose an active leak — a burst or dripping pipe, water staining a wall or ceiling, or a suspected slab leak. This is the diagnosis visit; the repair is quoted and approved separately.
What's included
- A licensed pro locating and diagnosing an active leak in person
- Covers a burst or dripping pipe, water staining a wall or ceiling, or a suspected slab leak
- Listening equipment, a moisture meter, or pressure testing to pinpoint the source without tearing everything open
- A firm repair price before any repair work begins
- This is the diagnosis; the actual repair is quoted and approved separately
What to expect
Typical time on site: about 45–90 min
- The pro arrives for the $89 visit (typically 30–60 minutes to pinpoint the leak)
- They use listening gear, a moisture meter, or pressure testing to locate a slab or in-wall leak
- They give you a firm repair price before any repair starts
- The $89 credits toward the job if you approve it, so you don't pay twice
- Slab-leak repairs (rerouting or opening the slab) are major work quoted on their own
Good to know
- An active leak is urgent — water damages framing and grows mold fast
- Classic signs of a slab leak: a wet or warm spot on the floor, an unexplained jump in your water bill, or a running-water sound with everything off
- Know where your main shutoff is (usually at the meter or where the line enters the house) and turn it off if water is flowing
- Take photos of any staining for insurance, move valuables away, and never let anyone jackhammer your foundation without a written scope you approved
How the diagnostic visit works
Because a leak's cause and repair can't be honestly priced from a photo, this is a diagnostic-first visit: a flat $89 to find the leak and quote the fix, fully credited toward the repair if you approve it. You'll never see an AI-guessed or firm repair price before the plumber has actually seen the leak.
Preview only — this does not book a real visit, and nobody is dispatched.
