Slab Leak Repair
When a customer reported a sudden increase in their water bill, warm spots on the floor, and the sound of running water in the walls, our team immediately recognized these as classic signs of a slab leak—a serious problem in which pipes beneath a home’s foundation develop leaks, potentially leading to structural damage and health hazards due to mold growth.
To address the problem, we used cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, a trenchless technique that inserts a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe. In this case, Almco Plumbing professionals restored the integrity of the piping system without the need for extensive excavation.

Slab leak refers to any leak in a pipe positioned beneath the cement floor, walls or foundation. These can result in major structural damage to the building and create an atmosphere that encourages the growth of toxic mold and mildew, which can be extremely harmful to you and your family.
Solution from Almco Plumbing

Can’t thank Almco Plumbing enough! They were able to come out as soon as we called. They were prompt and arrived on time. Vlad did an amazing job replacing 5 of our leaky valves. Will reach out to them again for any of our plumbing needs.
