How Slab Leak Repair in Metairie, LA Is Done
There are five ways to handle slab leak repair in Metairie, LA, and the right one depends on the pipe, the house and how many leaks you have already had. Every option below is priced before work starts.
Option 1Spot repair
Open the slab at the pinpointed spot, replace the damaged section, re-pour the concrete.
Option 2Reroute
Cap the failed line under the slab and run a new one through the walls or attic.
The most common fix. Floors usually stay put. One homeowner was quoted about $4,300 for one line and $7,300 for hot and cold together.
Option 3Tunneling
Dig from outside and tunnel under the house to reach the leak without touching the floors.
Option 4Epoxy lining
Blow a resin coating through the old line so it seals from the inside.
Works in limited cases. Ask what happens to lines that are not leaking before you agree to it.
Option 5Whole-house repipe
Retire every line under the slab and re-plumb the house overhead, usually in PEX.
Makes sense on the second or third leak, when every pipe is the same age. One repipe quote shared online was $14,000.
Repair or Repipe in Metairie?
One leak gets fixed where it is. When the same lines leak again, every pipe under the slab is the same age and material, and replacing them overhead stops the cycle.

Slab Leak Repair in Metairie, LA FAQs
Still have a question?
Call and ask. You will get a straight answer and a price, with no obligation.
Call (774) 252-0684How much does slab leak repair in Metairie, LA cost?
Most jobs for slab leak repair in Metairie, LA cost $1,500 to $5,800, depending on the method and how much has to be opened and patched. Every option is priced in writing before work starts.
What is the most effective way to fix a slab leak?
For most homes it is a reroute: the failed line is abandoned and a new one runs overhead, so it cannot leak under the slab again.
Should I reroute just one line or both hot and cold?
One line is fine if only one side has leaked and the pipe is sound. Both lines cost more now (one homeowner was quoted $7,300 for both against $4,300 for one) but avoid a second visit.
Will a rerouted pipe freeze?
Lines through the attic or walls are insulated where needed, and in the mild climates where slab homes are common, freezing is rarely a concern.
