There are various ways to handle a slab leak, and tunneling is one of them. Our slab leak repair services often cut costs for homeowners. While some think tunneling is more expensive, it can actually be cheaper in many cases. Since slab leaks often cause foundation issues, we usually work with foundation repair companies. If the leak location is unknown, we are experts at slab leak detection.
Why Choose Tunneling for Slab Leak Repairs?
Tunneling is one of the most effective and least disruptive methods to repair plumbing issues under a slab foundation. Here are some key benefits of choosing tunneling over traditional concrete slab cutting:
Minimized Interior Disruption:
Tunneling avoids the need to break through your home’s concrete foundation, meaning there’s less dust, dirt, and debris inside your home. This method protects your flooring and keeps your living space clean during the repair process.Preserved Flooring:
If you’ve invested in beautiful tile, wood, or carpet, tunneling allows us to access the problem without damaging your existing flooring. Traditional slab cutting could require removing and replacing your floors, adding time and cost to the project.Cost-Effective Solution:
While many homeowners assume tunneling is more expensive than cutting through concrete, it can actually save you money in the long run. By avoiding extensive floor removal and repair, you can reduce overall project costs, especially in homes with high-end flooring.Efficient Repairs:
Our tunneling services allow for precise access to the damaged sewer or water lines, enabling our plumbers to make accurate, long-lasting repairs without the need for unnecessary excavation.
Our Tunneling Process
At Total Plumbing, we follow a detailed and methodical tunneling process to ensure safety, precision, and successful repairs:
Thorough Inspection:
Before starting any work, we perform a thorough inspection of your property using advanced slab leak detection equipment. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the leak and determine the best approach for repairs.Tunneling:
Once the problem is located, we dig tunnels under the slab foundation, following strict safety protocols to ensure stability. All tunnels are dug to exact specifications to provide safe access for our team and maintain the integrity of your home’s foundation.Sewer Line Repair:
After tunneling is complete, we perform the necessary repairs to your water or sewer lines. Our team uses high-quality materials and anchors all repairs securely using galvanized hangers to ensure the proper slope and function of the sewer line.Backfilling and Restoration:
Once the repairs are made, we backfill the tunnels according to professional engineering standards, ensuring the stability and safety of your home’s foundation. We can provide an engineer’s report certifying the proper backfill of dirt for added peace of mind.Final Testing:
After the repair and backfilling are complete, we conduct thorough testing to ensure your plumbing system is functioning optimally before wrapping up the project.
Why Choose Tunneling Over Concrete Slab Cutting?
When you compare all factors, our under-slab tunneling repair is generally more cost-effective. Breaking through a concrete slab requires tearing up floors, removing furniture, and extensive cleanup. This process can be disruptive and add to the overall cost. In some cases, tunneling might appear more expensive, but it often turns out to be the more economical and less intrusive option. Our seasoned under-slab tunneling experts ensure the job is done efficiently and swiftly.
Insurance Companies and Tunneling
Insurance companies typically opt for the most expedient and cost-effective repair method. If tunneling proves to be the least expensive solution, they will authorize it. Conversely, if breaking the concrete slab is more economical, that method will be preferred. Many homeowners favor tunneling as it minimizes displacement, reduces dust and dirt inside the home, preserves flooring, and offers a more streamlined repair experience.
