With our Electronic Leak Detection service, we have the ability to precisely locate slab leaks in copper pipes.

In most cases Hawthorne will recommend a re-pipe or bypass of the leaking pipe, however there are many instances where a "direct repair" in the ground becomes the best and least expensive alternative.
Repiping
With a slab copper leak there are many conditions to consider when deciding on repair options. While some of these cannot be known unless the slab is opened and a direct repair is attempted, the state of the copper and its potential for future leak free service must be considered.
Hawthorne Plumbing Heating and Cooling will always recommend a reroute or repipe of the system as the most permanent repair. Repiping will eliminate the likelihood of future slab leaks. Hawthorne Plumbing Heating and Cooling has years of experience in this area and will find the least intrusive and most economical route for effecting these repairs.
KITEC® Pipe and Fittings
The Kitec® plumbing system is most popular in Clark County NV. The system consists of plastic-coated aluminum pipes and brass fittings. The brass fittings used to connect Kitec® pipe are the subject of a lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Kitec® brass fittings are defective because they dezincify. Dezincification is a reaction caused by too much zinc in the brass that causes a white powdery buildup on the inside of the fitting and a weakening of the brass fitting. Dezincification can lead to, broken fittings and obstructed plumbing fixtures and will eventually fail and leak.
A home plumbed with a Kitec® plumbing system may have a sticker on the inside of the electrical panel. However, before you check, please be sure that you are safe when inspecting you electrical panel or have someone with experience inspect your electrical panel. The purpose of these stickers is to alert electricians regarding proper electrical grounding procedures for nonmetallic plumbing. Many times, homes with Kitec® plumbing will have a sticker that says "Kitec" or "Plumbetter." If you find such as sticker at your electrical panel, it is safe to say that your home contains Kitec® brass fittings and pipe.
