What the customer called about
A leaking water line beneath the slab needed repair at a home in Claremore, ZIP code 74017. We needed to open the hardwood flooring and concrete to reach the pipe.
What our plumber found
We exposed the buried copper water line beneath the floor. The leaking section needed to be cut out so we could connect a replacement section to the remaining copper.
How we fixed it
Our crew opened the floor and slab to reach the leak. With the house water already shut off, we cut the copper on both sides of the leaking section. We installed press-to-expansion adapters and connected a new section of expansion PEX.
We then pressurized the house through the water meter, shut the meter off for ten minutes, and reopened it. The line had held pressure, and we checked that the meter was not moving.
What this means for your home
A water line beneath a finished floor needs both access and a repair check. Ask how we will reach the pipe and how we will check the repair before the opening is closed. Here, we checked pressure retention and meter movement after replacing the leaking section.
