Water Line Rerouting in West Chicago, IL

Water Line Rerouting in West Chicago, IL

Sometimes the cheapest fix for a leak under concrete is to stop using the pipe under the concrete.

West Chicago, IL Leak Detection reroutes water lines across West Chicago, IL by abandoning the failed under-slab run and installing a new line through the attic, walls or crawl space instead. The old pipe is capped and left in place. Nothing gets jackhammered, no concrete gets patched, and the new line is accessible forever if it ever needs attention.

Rerouting makes sense when the slab leak is under finished flooring you do not want to lose, when the pipe has already failed once and the rest of it is the same age, or when access from above is straightforward. It usually costs less than breaking, repairing and restoring a concrete floor.

It is not always the right answer. Short runs with easy slab access are often cheaper to repair directly, and we will tell you when that is your situation rather than selling the bigger job.
