Under the slab and under the house since 1979.
Peterson Plumbing & Sand Pumping finds the leak beneath your slab, tunnels to it instead of tearing up your floor, and pumps sand under the house to fill the voids. Mark Peterson, Louisiana Master Plumber #1416, is on every job.
Underslab plumbing repair
We tunnel to the leak. Your floor stays put.
Our licensed technicians pinpoint where the problem is, dig under the slab and repair the water lines underneath it. Hydro-tunneling lets us remove and replace old, cracked Orangeburg sewer and water lines without starting in your living room.
A cross-section of your house
Four layers. We work the bottom two.
Floor
Where you notice it
A warm spot on the tile, a floor that gives underfoot, a water bill that jumped, or a drain that backs up when nothing is wrong upstairs.
Slab
What most plumbers break
Leak detection equipment locates the underslab leak first, so the dig goes where the problem is and the floor on top stays where it is.
Fill sand
How we get under it
Hydro-tunneling clears a path under the slab to the pipe. Where the floor has voids, sand pumping fills them and leaves water no place to gather.
The line
What comes out, what goes in
Old, cracked Orangeburg and cast iron come out. New sewer and water lines go in. Underslab repairs carry a lifetime warranty.
