Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair in Bakersfield, CA
Day and Night Plumbing Solutions locates and repairs hidden water leaks in Bakersfield, including slab leaks, main water line leaks in the yard, leaks inside walls, and crawlspace leaks, with minimal digging or drywall removal.
A water bill that suddenly jumps, a meter that spins with every tap off, warm spots on the floor, or a patch of yard that never dries — those are hidden leaks. We find them precisely so the repair is small.
How to check for a hidden leak yourself
Turn off every faucet and appliance that uses water, then look at your water meter. If the leak indicator (usually a small triangle or dial) is still moving, water is escaping somewhere.
Slab leaks
Many Bakersfield homes are built on concrete slabs with water lines underneath. We can spot-repair the leak through the slab, or reroute the line through the attic or walls when the pipe is failing in more than one place.
Yard and main line leaks
A broken main line between the meter and the house can waste thousands of gallons. We expose the damaged section and replace it, then restore the area.
Leak Detection & Repair questions
What are the signs of a slab leak?
A higher water bill, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm or damp spots on the floor, cracks in flooring, and a water meter that keeps moving.
Is it better to repair or reroute a slab leak?
A single leak in otherwise healthy pipe is often repaired directly. If the pipe has failed before or shows corrosion, rerouting avoids chasing new leaks under the slab.
Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?
Policies differ. Many cover resulting water damage and access costs but not the pipe itself. We provide photos and documentation for your claim.
