For Sacramento property owners
Rancho Cordova is known for soil conditions that can affect homes built on concrete slabs. Seasonal changes in ground moisture can lead to shifting that puts pressure on pipes encased in concrete. We help you confirm the leak location before you decide on a repair method.

Acoustic listening
Amplified ground microphones pick up the sound of pressurized water leaking through concrete and soil.
Moisture meters and mapping
