Free to homeowners in Charleston — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.

The short answer

In Charleston, 51% of housing is detached. A slab leak is located by listening and correlation before any floor is opened, and a meter that moves with the house shut off proves a leak exists but not where it is.

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25024, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.

A slab leak is found by listening, not by digging first. 51% of Charleston homes are detached houses on their own ground.

What this site is

UnderSlab is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and work that opens a structural slab is normally permitted — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work and no leak detection, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

It is found by listening first

Correlation and acoustic listening locate a leak before anything is opened. Opening the floor to find it, rather than to fix it, is the expensive order to do this in.

What a reading cannot tell you

A meter that keeps moving with the house shut off proves a leak exists. It does not prove where, and it does not prove it is under the slab.
