Is it urgent? Slab leak signs that need a plumber now

A slab leak is urgent when water is coming up through the floor, the meter will not stop with every fixture off, or a floor spot is warm to the touch; HomeAdvisor and HomeGuide list warm or damp floors, standing water, the sound of running water with fixtures off, pressure drops and water bill spikes as signs. A leak under a slab keeps running until it is found, and LVVWD's bill credit depends on a repair within 60 days of the billing date when you found it. See slab leak repair for every method.

Repair, line or reroute in a Las Vegas house

Rerouting runs new pipe through walls or the attic and abandons the line under the slab; HomeGuide puts it at $3,900 to $7,500 and Fixr at $4,000 to $15,000. A spot repair through the slab is cheaper, $500 to $3,000 in Fixr's figures, but leaves the rest of the old line in place.
