Project Overview & Execution
A Hacienda Heights homeowner noticed that kitchen hallway tile flooring felt noticeably warm to the touch and their bi-monthly water utility bill spiked dramatically despite no visible dripping fixtures.
Using our acoustic listening gear and thermal imaging sensors, we confirmed an active hot water pinhole leak buried 4 inches beneath the concrete slab under the dining room wall. Rather than jackhammering through the finished hardwood and tile floors, we recommended an overhead PEX reroute.
We submitted an upfront Written Estimate detailing the routing pathway. We disconnected the failing underground copper line at the manifold and routed a continuous run of Uponor PEX-a through the attic space and down interior partition walls, reconnecting the kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
The entire project took two days with minimal drywall incisions, zero concrete demolition, and a 100% permanent resolution backed by our comprehensive workmanship guarantee.
Key Takeaway for Local Property Owners
Proper diagnostics save money and prevent recurring property damage. Whether it's clearing deep tree roots or rerouting a leaky slab pipe, having an experienced tradesman with the right gear ensures the repair is done once and done right.
