About East Woburn
East Woburn was once known as Fulton Village, according to Massachusetts state records of historic place names. The area grew up during the era when Woburn was a center of leather tanning and shoemaking. Today it sits between the city center and I-93, with homes, apartments and businesses side by side.
Montvale Avenue, which runs east from the center, has deep history too. Local records say one of the first homes in present-day Woburn stood along it in the 1640s.
Slab leaks in multi-family buildings
Two-families and small apartment buildings are common in many older parts of Woburn. In these buildings, one water line under the slab may feed more than one unit. A leak can affect several households at once.
- Find which units the line feeds before shutting off water.
- Give tenants notice of water shutoffs and work times.
- Check for separate meters. A spike on one unit's meter can point to the leaking line.
- Look at the whole system. If one line failed, others of the same age may be close behind.

Call (781) 483-8802Can a business have a slab leak?
Yes. Many shops, offices and warehouses are built slab-on-grade, with water and drain lines running under the concrete. A slab leak can damage inventory, flooring and equipment, and may force a business to close for repairs. Fast detection helps keep downtime and repair costs low.
For commercial properties, ask for work to be scheduled around business hours when possible. Rerouting lines overhead can be faster and less disruptive than opening a busy floor. See pipe rerouting for how it works.
