We've spent decades helping homeowners and businesses around here stop small drips and dangerous gas issues before they turn into expensive, stressful messes.
Based in Oak Park, CA, Galaxy Plumbing, Heating, AC & Solar is a family-run plumbing and HVAC company that has served the surrounding communities since 1986. Our team specializes in locating and repairing all kinds of leaks, from hidden lines beneath your foundation to gas lines that require safe, code-compliant attention. Fully licensed in plumbing, HVAC, and solar, we deliver careful, dependable work for residential and commercial jobs of any size.


Here’s the problem most people run into: a slab leak occurs when a water line buried beneath your home's concrete foundation springs a leak, and because it's out of sight, it can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. You might spot warm spots on the floor, hear water running when everything's shut off, notice your water bill creeping up, or find cracks showing up in the walls or foundation. By the time those signs appear, water has usually been working away under there for a while.
So what causes it? A few things, usually. Older copper pipes can corrode over time, especially in parts of Southern California with water chemistry that promotes tiny pinhole leaks that slowly grow. Shifting soil, high water pressure, and pipes rubbing against concrete or gravel as the house settles can all wear a line down until it finally gives. Once that water has nowhere to go, it starts pushing up through the slab and into your home.
This is where good leak detection earns its keep. Our licensed plumber uses electronic listening equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint exactly where the leak is hiding, so we're not tearing up your whole floor on a whim. Once we know the spot, we walk you through the options, whether that means accessing and repairing the damaged section, rerouting the line, or, in some cases, repiping a run that's simply worn out. Good slab leak detection up front means less demolition, less cost, and a cleaner fix.
The result is a home that's dry, safe, and back to normal, without the constant worry about what's happening under your feet. Handling a slab leak repair early also keeps a manageable problem from snowballing into ruined flooring, mold, or foundation damage that can cost a small fortune down the road. That peace of mind is a big part of why people keep calling us back.

Yes, a slab leak can soak flooring, drywall, cabinets, and other building materials while creating the damp conditions that mold needs to grow. Quick slab leak detection and repair can limit water waste and help keep a manageable plumbing problem from becoming a major cleanup project.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or damp flooring, low water pressure, running water sounds, and a water meter that moves when every fixture is off. Because many of these warning signs may have other causes, a licensed plumber should inspect the system before anyone opens up the floors.
Plumbers can isolate plumbing lines, monitor the water meter, perform pressure tests, and use specialized listening or temperature-sensing equipment to pinpoint the leak. These steps help the plumber focus on the affected area instead of turning your home into an unnecessary treasure hunt.
Yes, treat a suspected gas leak as an emergency. Leave the area immediately, avoid lights, switches, vehicles, flames, and anything that could create a spark, then call SoCalGas or 911 from a safe location.
Aging materials, corrosion, damaged fittings, high water pressure, soil movement, poor installation, and accidental impacts can all contribute to leaks in slabs, pipes, and gas lines. Regular inspections and quick repairs can help catch worn components before they cause extensive damage.
