Repair
Repairing your plumbing leak could still be an option. If the timing is bad, finances just aren't available, then certainly a plumbing repair of the specific leaking pipe is always an option. A plumbing repair will get you back up and running quickly and with minimal costs by comparison. If however your plumbing is older or is copper that has been affected by additives in our water or you have experience multiple plumbing leaks in your water pipes or you have an under concrete slab leak.....then really a reroute or repipe is something your must consider.
Re-Route
Reroutes are the best and in our opinion the only option when your plumbing leak is under the slab. There is no need to tear up your flooring and jack hammer a hole in the concrete to fix the leaking pipe. Not only is that costly, destructive and disruptive to your life, but very often when a copper pipe springs a leak, it is very like to spring a leak in the future.

Here is a review from a mom with a new baby who stayed in their home while Leak Star completed the work.
"Our project was not only to fix the leak, but to re-route the lines which was an all day job that was started the next day at 8AM since it would require 2 members. During the job, they were tidy which was important to me given that I was taking care of a newborn at the time." Bony in Encinitas from Yelp
