Non-Invasive Concrete Leak Detection in Mauldin, SC Bathroom

At CB Smith Plumbing, we specialize in advanced concrete leak detection solutions that prevent unnecessary damage and save our customers time and money. Recently, a homeowner in Mauldin, SC contacted us after noticing rising water bills and subtle moisture around the bathroom floor. Suspecting an underground leak, they wanted answers—without destroying their concrete slab.

We used cutting-edge technology to pinpoint the source of the leak without any demolition. As part of our full-service approach, we also educated the homeowner about proactive steps they could take for future water conservation. If you're dealing with mystery water damage or increased utility costs, our leak detection and repair services are designed to find and fix the problem with minimal disruption.

Slab leaks under concrete are notoriously tricky—but with the right tools, they don’t have to be destructive. For this project, we used acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to track the sound and heat signatures of the leak beneath the bathroom floor.

Steps we followed:

1. Initial assessment – Verified the symptoms: unusually high water bill, soft spots in the floor, and low water pressure.
2. Electronic leak location – Used non-invasive sound wave and infrared tools to locate the precise leak site within the slab.
3. Minimal access repair – Once identified, we opened a small section to repair the pipe and sealed it back with minimal impact.

The process was completed within a day. The customer avoided a full floor teardown and was thrilled with the cost-effective and efficient results.

• No floor demolition unless necessary
• Faster and more affordable than traditional methods
• Pinpoint accuracy saves time and labor
• Prevents mold and structural damage from untreated leaks

Homeowners across Mauldin and surrounding areas are choosing CB Smith Plumbing for concrete leak solutions that protect both their property and budget.

While slab leaks can be costly if left unresolved, many homeowners overlook simpler leaks that also waste water and inflate utility bills. A few examples:

• Leaky faucets and fixtures – A slow drip can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water per year. Replacing or upgrading faucets and fixtures is an easy way to boost efficiency.
• Running toilets – Silent but expensive, a faulty flapper valve can cost hundreds annually in wasted water.
• Undetected irrigation leaks – Outdoor sprinkler leaks often go unnoticed but can impact both water usage and landscaping.
• Water heater relief valve leaks – These small leaks can signal pressure issues and lead to bigger repairs if ignored.

Repairing even minor leaks not only reduces monthly costs but also increases the value of your home by showing prospective buyers it’s been properly maintained.

If you suspect a hidden leak or want a proactive inspection, CB Smith Plumbing is ready to help. We offer non-invasive concrete leak detection and full-service plumbing repairs throughout Mauldin and the surrounding areas.
