In Diamond Bar, as with many suburban areas in Southern California that saw significant residential development from the mid-20th century onward, it is common to find homes with slab foundations. This construction style often incorporates plumbing lines running underneath the concrete slab foundation. Slab-on-grade foundations were particularly popular in the region during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s due to their cost-effectiveness and suitability for the generally mild, stable climate and flat terrains common in the area.

One of the challenges with slab plumbing is the risk of slab leaks. These occur when the pipes under the slab develop leaks, which can be due to corrosion (in the case of older metal pipes), abrasion from contact with the concrete or soil, or shifts in the foundation. Detecting and repairing slab leaks can be complex and often requires specialized equipment and techniques.
