What Causes a Slab Leak?

Water that leaks under or around the concrete foundation of your home or office are considered a slab leak. These can remain untreated for long periods of time because they are difficult to find. Many times a slab leak is responsible for flooding properties, damaging lawns, and ruining piping networks. Here are some reasons why they happen:

  • Soil chemicals can corrode pipes.
  • Long-term vibration can wear down plumbing lines.
  • Pressure from human error or shifting ground can compromise pipe walls.
  • Construction can upset piping networks.
  • Poor installation could be playing a role.

What Signs Can I Look For?

While slab leak detection can be difficult, most people miss them because they don’t know what to look for. Being aware of your property and the warning signs could be a game changer for early detection and minimal damage. If you have noticed the following, call us today.

  • A significant increase in your monthly utility bills in spite of typical usage patterns.
  • The sound of running water in your property even after everything is turned off.
  • Unusually hot or cold areas of the foundation or any mildew growth.
  • Visible damage like cracks in the base of the walls or along the foundation.

What Do Professionals Do to Fix It?

We have the newest technology that lets us find the problem without having to dig and cut through your lawn and concrete. We use video camera inspection, which is not only minimally invasive but also thorough in finding any pinch point in your line. Then, we’ll determine which of the following will best suit the job.

  • Spot repair: We cut the slab and repair the issue at the source.
  • Reroute or Replace: We can reroute entire lines, but we typically repipe aging systems.
  • Epoxy: We can apply epoxy to the inside of the pipe wall to seal small cracks without cutting away entire sections.
