Slab Leak Repair in Livermore, CA
A slab leak is a water leak in a pipe buried under your concrete foundation. Left alone, it can erode the slab, crack flooring, and run up your water bill. The Otter Squad pinpoints the leak, then chooses the least invasive repair — a targeted access, a pipe re-route through the attic, or repiping where the line is failing throughout. We are a family-owned, union contractor licensed C-36 and C-42 under CSLB #1053855. Clear Lines or You Don't Pay a Dime.
The Otter Squad Guarantee
Clear Lines or You Don't Pay a Dime. If we can't clear your blocked line using our standard drain clearing procedure, you don't pay for the attempt.

Slab Leak Warning Signs
A slab leak hides under the floor, so the signs show up elsewhere first. These are the ones to act on.
- A warm spot on the floor, which can mean a hot-water line leak under the slab.
- An unexplained water bill increase.
- The sound of running water under the floor.
- Cracking or buckling flooring.
- Damp carpet or baseboard.
- Low pressure in part of the house.
How a Slab Leak Repair Runs
We pinpoint the leak before we touch the slab, then choose the least invasive repair for your layout.
- 1
Pinpoint the leak.
We use electronic leak detection and pressure testing to confirm the leak is under the slab and pinpoint its exact location.
- 2
Choose the least invasive repair.
We weigh a targeted slab access against a re-route through the attic, and tell you which makes sense for your layout — and if the line is failing throughout, we say so.
- 3
Repair or re-route.
We open a targeted access, repair the leak, or re-route the line through the attic to avoid the slab entirely.
- 4
Permit and inspection.
We pull the plumbing permit for your address and coordinate the inspection so the work is signed off and legal.
- 5
Restore.
We patch the access opening and clean up — tarps down, shoe covers on.

Owner, The Otter Squad · C-36 & C-42 #1053855
I am Alfredo Ortiz, and I have spent more than 30 years in the plumbing trade. The Otter Squad is my family's company, Latino-owned, licensed under CSLB #1053855 for C-36 plumbing and C-42 sanitation, and staffed by union, UA-trained crews. A slab leak scares people because it sounds like the whole floor has to come up — it usually does not. I pinpoint it first, and if a re-route through the attic avoids the slab, that is what I recommend. Call me any time, day or night, at (925) 397-2271.
