Slab Leak Affects Multiple Rooms in a Rancho Santa Margarita Home
Our call center recently received a call from a homeowner in Rancho Santa Margarita who had detected water damage in her home.

Due to the severity of the slab leak, the laminate started to come up, which led us to remove the affected areas, such as the drywall.
