← Florida slab leak repair ← Hawthorne leak repair hubWhat makes Hawthorne slab leak distinct
Small lake-country town east of Gainesville. Inland — no salt-air; lightning capital with intense afternoon convective storms; freeze risk 4–8 nights/year. The dominant 1920s–40s craftsman + 1950s–80s ranch + 2000s+ master-plan construction era determines the failure modes we see most often, and type l copper + polybutylene cluster + cpvc + pex-a as the supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls. We respond across Alachua County with same-day diagnostic visits.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Hawthorne
PEX-A reroute over slab cut wherever possible to preserve original terrazzo, tile, and historic finishes. We default to the least-invasive option that solves the problem long-term.
PEX-A reroute through walls + ceilings
Bypass failed under-slab run with new PEX-A supply through wall cavities, attic chases, or ceiling joists — preserves finishes.
Default — preserves finishesControlled slab cut + spot repair
Where reroute geometry doesn't work, controlled access cut through slab, repair, pressure-test, patch.
When reroute impossibleFull PEX-A repipe
When multiple leaks indicate end-of-life supply, full repipe through wall + attic cavities; abandoned under-slab line stays isolated.
