A small leak under the sink can ruin a cabinet floor in a week. In Elk Grove, California, water finds the weakest point in your plumbing and exploits it — behind walls, under slabs, inside ceilings. The Water Works finds and repairs leaks fast for homes and businesses throughout Sacramento County.

We repair copper, PEX, PVC, and galvanized pipe — whatever your home has. Slab leaks are a specialty — we locate them under the foundation and minimize the concrete we cut. After the repair we pressure-test the line to double-check it's actually sealed, and you get a written report for your insurance if you need one.

We use electronic detection gear so we don't have to cut open walls to find the source. Whether it's a pinhole in a copper pipe, a cracked PEX fitting, a failed wax ring, or a slab leak under your foundation, we locate it precisely before we start breaking into drywall or concrete. That means less damage to your home and a faster repair.

We serve Elk Grove and the surrounding Sacramento County communities — same crews, same pricing, same standards.

Why Elk Grove Trusts The Water Works

Since 1985, The Water Works has tracked down thousands of leaks across Greater Sacramento. We know the older pipe materials common in East Sacramento and Roseville — copper that's pinholed from water chemistry, galvanized steel that's rusted from the inside out, and clay sewer lines infiltrated by roots. We use electronic amplification, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to find leaks without tearing up your home, and we explain what caused the leak so you can prevent the next one.

Slab leak repair in Elk Grove

Many Elk Grove homes built on slab foundations carry copper supply lines under the concrete. When one pinholes, you'll see a warm spot on the floor, a jump in the water bill, or the sound of running water when everything is off. We locate slab leaks electronically and either spot-repair through a small opening or reroute the line overhead, depending on which is the smaller job for your home.

Water leak detection without tearing up walls

Electronic amplification, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation let us narrow a hidden pipe leak to a small area before any drywall or concrete is opened. Less demolition means a faster repair and a smaller patch afterward.

Pipe leak repair for copper, PEX, and galvanized

We repair whatever the house was plumbed with. A single pinhole gets repaired; a run of galvanized that's rusting from the inside gets a straight recommendation about whether a spot repair is throwing money at a pipe that's already done.
