Slab leaks in Beaufort
Homes from 1960 to 1999 make up 52%, close to the South Carolina figure of 53%. That ranks 5th highest of the 11 South Carolina cities we profile. Hot lines under the slab expand and rub against concrete for decades until a pinhole forms.
Leak detection confirms the leak at the meter, isolates hot from cold, then pinpoints it acoustically so only one small spot is opened, or none if a reroute is the better fix.
In South Carolina: Humid summers and coastal storms put sump pumps, drainage and sewer backflow in focus.
