Should I use a slab leak detection kit or call a pro?

Calling a professional is the better choice for slab leak detection than using a DIY kit. Most kits only hint at moisture or sound, while pros use non-invasive electronic locating and camera diagnostics to find the exact leak point and avoid unnecessary demolition. Lanz Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Inc. uses state-of-the-art tools to pinpoint hidden leaks in pipes, fixtures, and underground lines with minimal disruption. Our team serves homes across the Allerton area with precise diagnostics before any repair. On concrete slabs, noise or stains can show up far from the actual break, so accurate locating prevents opening the wrong spot.

Call right away if you notice any of these:

• Water sounds when all fixtures are off
• Unexplained high water bill or pressure drop
• Warm spots, damp carpet, or pooling along the slab
• Repeatedly running meter with no visible use

If water is actively leaking, shut off the main valve and call a professional plumber.
