Straight Flush Plumbing recently completed a Slab Leak Detection job in Laguna Niguel (September 2026).
Slab leak detection: performed acoustic leak detection and determined a sudden 3/4-inch hot water pipe burst inside the concrete slab, running from a manifold behind the garage wall/water heater to the living room/dining room wall and feeding hot water to the upstairs master bathroom and kitchen sink. Capped the feed line to confirm this was the only leak in the home's water system at time of inspection. Drywall repair not included; recommended a licensed restoration company review visible and non-visible water damage.

Yes. Straight Flush uses acoustic pinpointing and thermal imaging to confirm the exact leak location before any concrete is opened — that’s the standard diagnostic-first approach for this kind of work.
Once the leak is pinpointed, the repair options are explained clearly — reroute, spot repair, or repipe depending on the condition of the pipes — so the homeowner can make an informed decision. No demolition first.
