These are the most common types of slab leak repair services that we offer to all homeowners in Hendersonville:
- Trenchless slab leak repair: This type of repair is a small-scale version of pipe relining. Pipe relining has its reputation for being a “no dig” trenchless process that bypasses excavation when trying to access pipelines. Instead, our professional plumber will insert new tubing into the existing pipes by inserting epoxy lining into the pipe and curing it into place with heat and moisture. This results in a new seal lining that has the durability to last for years to come. While this is the most ideal solution for the other repair methods, it doesn’t work for extreme damage, collapses, and bellies.
- Pipe rerouting: When your pipes are suffering from extreme damage, it may be necessary to reroute the pipes. Pipe rerouting is the process of installing new pipes to surpass the leaking section of the pipe. To do this, demolishing walls and floors is necessary to excavate through the concrete foundation. This is a time-consuming and costly process and also requires you to relocate during the repair.
- Tunneling: If your pipes have extreme damage in isolated areas, then tunneling may also be an option. Tunneling is a similar process to pipe rerouting, only less invasive and less cleanup. However, this is still a time-consuming process that involves our professional local plumber to dig beneath your home to access and replace the damaged pipes.
