The Cost of Waiting: Why Action Matters
Ignoring the signs of a slab leak can be one of the most expensive mistakes a homeowner can make. The unique soil conditions in the Mesilla Valley mean that water accumulation under your slab can cause the ground to heave or erode, destabilizing your entire home.
By acting quickly with American Leak Detection of New Mexico, you prevent:
- Structural Foundation Failure: Water can compromise the concrete slab, leading to uneven floors and structural instability.
- Escalating Water Bills: A hidden leak runs 24/7, silently draining your wallet.
- Mold Remediation Costs: Persistent moisture breeds mold, leading to health risks and expensive cleanup.
- Property Devaluation: Unresolved foundation issues significantly lower your home's resale value.
Don’t let a small leak turn into a costly disaster. Contact American Leak Detection of New Mexico today to request your service call and protect your home, or call us at (505) 466-5649.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is slab leak detection worth the cost?
Absolutely. The cost of a professional detection service is a fraction of the cost of repairing a cracked foundation or mitigating extensive mold damage. Early detection is an investment that protects your home's equity and saves you money in the long run.
Will you damage my floors to find the leak?
No. Our Non-Invasive Method uses advanced acoustic and thermal technology to locate the leak from above the slab. We do not need to pull up carpet or break tiles just to find the problem, saving you significant restoration costs.
Can a small leak really damage my foundation?
Yes. In Las Cruces, our sandy and clay-rich soils are highly reactive to moisture. Even a small, consistent leak can cause soil to expand or wash away, leading to slab settlement, heaving, and severe structural cracks that are expensive to fix.
How do I know the price before you start?
We provide upfront pricing for all our services. After our initial assessment, we will give you a clear, written quote. You will know exactly what the detection and potential repair options cost before we begin any work.
