Slab leaks are the hardest to detect. While you can’t see water lines that run under the slab, symptoms such as damp spots, cracks, and warm or cool areas on the floor can hint at a problem. Fortunately, Detour Plumbing can detect a slab leak with our advanced equipment and make repairs without breaking up your entire basement or foundation. Our techniques allow us to find exactly where the problem is.

Our emergency plumbing services are geared towards dire situations such as a gas leak. Natural gas is highly combustible, so the most benign tasks can lead to disaster. We can reach anywhere in Lancaster to stop a gas leak and provide gas line repair or completely replace your old gas line. As gas appliance experts, we can inspect your water heater or furnace to ensure it is in working condition and safe to operate. When you’re looking for a replacement or upgrade, we’re here to help.

A plumbing leak may go unnoticed for quite some time. You might only see a slight decrease in water pressure or a minute amount of moisture at first. But whether it takes days or months, the cause of a leak will eventually compromise your pipes. Our technicians use non-invasive techniques such as in-pipe inspection with specialized cameras and electronic systems that can spot the exact location of a leak behind a wall or underground. Once we find the leak, we’ll make the appropriate repairs.

Pipes carry all the water in your plumbing system. Even a small leak can provide enough moisture to cause mold to grow or building materials to deteriorate. Leaky, noisy pipes can be fixed whenever possible, but we often recommend replacing older pipe with more durable materials. Fixing a section of pipe is more affordable than dealing with serious damage and expensive repairs.

All the waste from your home is discharged via the sewer line. Sewer pipes are prone to blockages, corrosion, leaks, and tree root intrusion over time. Video inspection lets us determine whether the line can be cleaned or must be repaired or replaced. Repairing a burst pipe or backflow problem is simpler than it used to be, as trenchless sewer repair avoids expensive, time-consuming digging on your property.
