Leak Detection in King City, Oregon
King City's 1960s–1970s slab-on-grade construction put copper supply lines under concrete that has now been there for 50–60 years. Slab leaks are one of the most common hidden leak types in King City. True Flow Plumbing finds them with acoustic and thermal equipment — without tearing up your floor first.
Leak Detection in King City
A slow hidden leak in a King City home does its worst damage quietly — behind plaster walls in mid-century construction, under original tile floors in slab-on-grade units, or in the shared wall cavity of a townhome. Mold can begin within 24–48 hours of sustained moisture, and subfloor damage compounds fast once water finds wood. King City's older homes with galvanized supply lines and early copper are the most frequent sources — we find the breach before opening anything.
🔍 Acoustic Detection
Ground microphones isolate the sound of water escaping under pressure through concrete, soil, and finished walls.
🌡️ Thermal Imaging
Moisture changes the temperature of surrounding materials. Thermal cameras map it without breaking anything open.

King City's slab construction puts supply lines at risk. We locate slab leaks precisely before concrete is opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes slab leaks in King City homes?
King City's slab-on-grade construction from the 1960s and 1970s put copper supply lines directly under concrete. Over 50–60 years, soil chemistry, water pressure cycles, and minor ground movement stress those lines until pinhole leaks develop. A warm spot on the floor, unexplained water bill increase, or the sound of running water when everything is off are the key warning signs.
How do you find a leak without tearing up floors in King City?
Acoustic listening equipment detects the sound of pressurized water escaping through concrete and soil. Thermal imaging cameras map temperature differences caused by moisture. Together, these tools locate the breach precisely before we open anything.
