Ezra and Jose from Plumbing buddies were very professional and respectful of our property and always showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves.Ezra explained what was going to happen once our water got shut off. They began the re-piping under the house with ABS drain lines. finished one day and the 68 year-old cast-iron pipes are now gone. The new black ABS drain pipe should last for a long time. Highly recommend this company.

Slab Leaks in Glendora, CA
Plumbing Buddies detects and repairs slab leaks for homeowners across Glendora and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley.
Expert Slab Leaks in Glendora, CA
A slab leak is a pipe failure beneath your home's concrete foundation. Water escapes slowly, often going unnoticed until floors feel warm, water bills climb, or a mildew smell appears. In Glendora and nearby cities like Covina, West Covina, and San Dimas, clay-rich alluvial soil at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes. That movement stresses pipes embedded in the slab, making slab leaks a common problem in this area. Older homes with aging copper supply lines face added risk from the region's moderately hard water, which accelerates internal pipe corrosion over time. Plumbing Buddies locates the leak using pressure testing and electronic detection before any concrete is opened. Once the exact location is confirmed, we walk you through every repair option, whether that is a targeted spot repair, pipe rerouting through walls or ceilings, or another approach suited to your home. Owner Jeremy brings 20 years of plumbing experience and a straightforward, honest approach to every slab leak call across Glendora, La Verne, Claremont, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Pasadena, Monrovia, Arcadia, and beyond.

FAQ
Slab Leaks FAQ
Common questions about slab leaks in Glendora, CA.
Common signs include warm spots on your floor, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, rising water bills, or damp flooring with no visible source. If you notice any of these in your Glendora home, call a plumber to confirm with a pressure test before the damage spreads.
Many homes in Covina and West Covina sit on clay-rich soil that expands when wet and contracts when dry, putting ongoing stress on pipes buried under the slab. Older copper supply lines in these homes are also more vulnerable to corrosion from the area's hard water supply.
No, Plumbing Buddies uses electronic detection and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak location before any concrete is opened. Only the section directly above the confirmed leak is accessed, keeping disruption to your La Verne or Claremont home as small as possible.
Repair options include a targeted spot repair at the leak location, or rerouting the pipe through walls or ceilings to bypass the damaged section entirely. The right choice depends on your pipe's age, the leak's location, and the overall condition of your plumbing.
Yes, water escaping under the slab saturates the soil unevenly, which can cause the foundation to shift, crack, or settle over time. Catching a slab leak early is the best way to avoid foundation repair on top of the plumbing fix.
