How much water does an untreated slab leak lose?

A pinhole copper slab leak (at 60 PSI) can lose between 250 to over 3,000 gallons per day, creating substantial sub-slab soil erosion, foundation shifting, and thousands of dollars in utility overages.

Is acoustic slab leak detection covered by insurance?

Most homeowners insurance policies cover the cost of 'tear out and access' (electronic leak detection and opening the slab) under the plumbing endorsement, even if the copper pipe replacement itself is homeowner responsibility.
