Leak Detection San Diego โ€” Frequently Asked Questions

How much does leak detection cost in San Diego?
Professional leak detection in San Diego typically starts around $295 for an electronic diagnostic. Slab leak location runs from about $350, and the detection fee is often credited toward the repair. Tri Express Plumbing gives an upfront price before any work begins, with no demolition required to pinpoint the leak.
How do you find a slab leak without breaking the concrete?
We use non-invasive electronic and acoustic equipment, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to locate the exact point of a slab leak under your foundation. This lets us pinpoint the leak before cutting, so any repair is targeted to a small area instead of opening up the whole slab.
What are the warning signs of a hidden water leak?
Common signs include a sudden spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor, low water pressure, mold or musty smells, cracks in walls or flooring, and a water meter that keeps moving when nothing is in use.
How long does leak detection take?
Most leak detection appointments in San Diego take about 1 to 2 hours. A straightforward supply-line leak can be located quickly, while complex slab or underground leaks may take longer. We confirm the source before recommending any repair.
Why is my water bill suddenly higher than normal?
An unexplained jump in your water bill is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak. Even a small slab or supply-line leak can waste thousands of gallons a month. Tri Express Plumbing can locate the source the same day and stop the loss.
Do you detect gas leaks as well as water leaks?
Yes. We perform both water and natural gas leak detection in San Diego. If you smell gas, leave the home and call SDG&E or 911 first, then contact us to locate and repair the line safely once the area is secure.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leak repair in California?
