What is concrete scanning?
Before any slab is cut or cored to reach a leak, concrete scanning with GPR images what's inside — rebar, post-tension cables, conduit and embedded pipes. This protects the structure and the crew, ensuring the access opening lands exactly where it should and nothing critical is struck.
How it works
- 1We grid-scan the slab with GPR.
- 2Embedded rebar, cables, conduit and pipes are mapped.
- 3We mark safe cut lines around obstructions.
- 4The leak-repair access is planned precisely.
Advantages
Protects post-tension cables and rebar
Guides safe coring and cutting
Avoids structural damage

Concrete Scanning — FAQs
Why scan concrete before cutting?
Cutting blind risks striking rebar, post-tension cables or conduit. Scanning maps them so access is safe and precise.
Is this needed for a slab leak repair?
Strongly recommended — it ensures the repair opening lands on the leak and avoids embedded hazards.
