Slab leaks
Aging copper lines under 1950s–1980s slabs leak with age and hard water, showing up as warm floors, damp baseboards or high water bills.

Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Riverside?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Riverside Building and Safety Division.
Is a slab leak covered by insurance in Riverside?
Many policies cover the water damage and access costs from a sudden slab leak, but not the pipe repair itself.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
