Under-Slab Sewer & Drain Repair
Professional Solutions for Plumbing Beneath Your Home
We work to locate the source of under-slab sewer and drain problems before recommending an appropriate repair.
UNDER-SLAB DIAGNOSTICS
We evaluate recurring drain problems and other warning signs to help determine whether plumbing beneath the foundation may be damaged.
CAMERA INSPECTIONS
When appropriate, a sewer camera allows us to examine accessible lines for blockages, visible damage, deterioration, or separated connections.
SEWER & DRAIN REPAIR
We repair or replace cracked, separated, leaking, or deteriorated drain and sewer lines located beneath concrete slabs.
TUNNEL ACCESS
In certain situations, tunneling may provide access to damaged piping without opening large areas of finished flooring inside the home.
REPAIR PLANNING
What a Professional Evaluation Covers
01
LOCATION & EXTENT
We work to determine which line is affected, where the problem is located, and whether the damage appears isolated or more extensive.
02
PIPE CONDITION
We consider the visible condition of accessible piping and look for signs of cracks, separation, deterioration, blockages, or improper drainage.
03
ACCESS & REPAIR OPTIONS
We evaluate the property and explain whether direct access, rerouting, pipe replacement, or tunnel access may be appropriate.
ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS
Finding the Source of an Under-Slab Problem
Under-slab sewer and drain problems can cause recurring clogs, slow drains, sewage odors, unexplained moisture, or backups affecting multiple fixtures. Because the damaged pipe is hidden beneath the foundation, the symptoms may not appear directly above the affected area.
Diaz Plumbing evaluates the plumbing system and considers the symptoms, condition of accessible piping, location of the affected line, and history of previous problems. Depending on the situation, the evaluation may include drain testing, leak diagnostics, or a sewer camera inspection.
After identifying the likely source of the problem, we explain what was found and discuss the available repair options.
