We recently completed a comprehensive repair project for a customer who had a slab leak under the garage.

Project Summary: Slab Leak Repair and Water Heater Replacement


We recently completed a comprehensive repair project for a customer who had a slab leak under the garage and an aging, failing water heater. Here’s a rundown of the work performed:


  1. Leak Detection and Repair: A small section of concrete was removed, and dirt was excavated to locate and repair a water leak under the slab.

  2. Wall Piping Repair: Sheetrock was opened up to access and repair additional piping in the wall behind the old water heater.

  3. Piping Testing and Preparation: Hot and cold lines were looped to allow the customer to repair the concrete and sheetrock before the final steps.

  4. Water Heater Replacement: We installed a new 50-gallon Rheem water heater with updated features:


  • New water and gas supply lines, including a drip leg and gas valve.

  • Dual water shut-off valves for hot and cold lines, earthquake straps, bonding, an

    expansion tank, pan, and stand.

  • Replacement of a small section of the flue.



Testing and Final Inspection: The water heater was thoroughly tested for proper operation with no leaks.


The project was successfully completed, and the new water heater and plumbing are now fully operational, providing a safe, efficient, and reliable water heating solution for the customer.
