"Ken is an absolute beast. If you're looking for options, there's a reason this is called FIRST PLACE. Ken did an inspection for my slab leak and walked me through his whole process and gave me a mad good price. I was expecting a quote thousands more. He is super knowledgeable and gave a great vibe. Work was immaculate. I also asked him to replace my leaky spigot and put in a regulator. So clean (pictured). He finished the slab leak repair with a line slip and the spigot replacement in less than 4 hours. The man knows what's up and he's who I'll be calling for any future issues. Thank you, Ken!"

How Slab Leaks Are Located
Before a slab leak can be properly repaired, it's important to determine where the leak is coming from. Because the affected plumbing is located beneath the concrete foundation, the source of the problem may not be directly below the area where you notice moisture, warm flooring, or other signs of a leak.
​
Accurately locating the problem helps determine the most appropriate repair while minimizing unnecessary disruption to your home. Once the source is identified, First Place Plumbing Solutions can evaluate the affected plumbing and explain your repair options.

Slab Leak Repair Options
The right way to repair a slab leak depends on the location of the damaged pipe, the condition of the plumbing system, and how accessible the affected line is. There isn't one repair method that's right for every home.
​
After identifying the source of the leak, First Place Plumbing Solutions can evaluate the problem and explain the repair options available for your property. Depending on the situation, a solution may involve repairing an accessible section of pipe, rerouting or bypassing the damaged line, or another approach designed to correct the leak while minimizing unnecessary disruption.
​
Our goal is to recommend a practical repair based on the actual cause and location of the problem, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
