Slab Leak Repair in Murray
Find Hidden Slab Leaks Before They Damage Your Murray Home
A slab leak occurs in a water supply line beneath a home’s concrete foundation. Big Brothers Home Services identifies and repairs leaks beneath concrete slabs, inside walls, under yards, and elsewhere in home plumbing systems.
Because these pipes are out of sight, water may escape before visible damage appears. Seasonal temperature changes and shifting soil can place additional stress on underground plumbing in Murray, Utah and across Salt Lake County.
Call (616) 693-5922 to schedule a professional inspection if you suspect a hidden plumbing leak.
Signs of a Slab Leak in Murray Homes
A single symptom doesn’t confirm a slab leak, but changes in water use, flooring, or indoor moisture deserve attention. A professional leak inspection can determine whether the problem is beneath the slab or in another concealed location.
Common warning signs include:
- Unexpected increases in the water bill
- Reduced water pressure at faucets or fixtures
- Running-water sounds when no fixtures are on
- Warm spots on floors above hot water lines
- Damp carpet, flooring, baseboards, or other materials
- Musty odors near the slab or lower walls
- Mold or mildew on carpet and baseboards
- Cracks in slab floors, nearby walls, or the foundation after prolonged moisture exposure

Professional Slab Leak Detection Methods
We begin by listening to what you’ve noticed, such as unusual sounds, moisture, pressure changes, or higher water use. We then perform a comprehensive inspection and use advanced leak detection equipment to identify the water source before discussing possible repairs.
Detection methods may include:
- Thermal imaging: Temperature differences created by hot or cold water lines can reveal areas that need closer investigation.
- Acoustic leak detection: Sensitive microphones detect the sound of escaping water and help triangulate the leak’s position beneath the slab.
These methods can locate concealed water loss without beginning with destructive excavation through finished flooring. By narrowing the area first, we can base the repair discussion on the leak’s actual location rather than a floor spot or sound alone.
How an Unresolved Slab Leak Can Affect a Home
Water escaping beneath a concrete foundation can contribute to movement or cracking over time. Continued movement may affect the home’s structural integrity, depending on the leak’s location, volume, and duration.
Moisture can also spread into finished materials and create conditions for mold or mildew. Prompt detection identifies the source so homeowners can make an informed repair decision before the exposure continues.
We offer flexible financing options through Service Finance Company so that you don’t have to compromise your home’s plumbing system or your peace of mind.

- Complete the repair: We use durable materials to repair the damaged line using the selected approach.
- Test and answer questions: We test the repaired area and address follow-up questions about the completed work.
Why Slab Leak Detection Should Come Before Digging
Slab leaks occur beneath concrete, so the leaking pipe and the path of escaping water aren’t directly visible. A warm floor spot, damp material, or running-water sound can signal a problem, but it doesn’t pinpoint the damaged section.
Self-directed digging can open flooring or concrete without reaching the leak. Detection equipment helps locate the source before repair planning begins. We use those findings to distinguish leaks beneath slabs from problems inside walls, under yards, or elsewhere in the home plumbing system.
Planning the Slab Leak Repair
The repair method depends on the leak’s location and the condition of the damaged pipe. Our technicians explain the inspection findings first, then review the available approaches with the homeowner.
The amount of floor access and disruption also depends on the location and selected method. Pinpointing the leak in advance helps focus the work on the damaged section instead of opening unrelated areas of finished flooring.
Repair planning considers the water source and the condition of the line. Once the work is complete, we test the repaired area and answer any remaining questions.
