Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks can cause significant damage and are often not visible on the surface. A slab leak is usually underground so it may not be immediately evident that you have one. However, there are several ways to check for a slab leak:

  • Spike in water bills – If you are seeing an unusual spike in your monthly water bill, without any increase to the amount of water being used at home, it may be due to leaky plumbing.
  • Wood floor warping and damp carpets – If your flooring has become warped from the accumulation of moisture in damp spaces like carpets and wood floors.
  • Mold or mildew – growth from wet areas could also lead to these problems as well- whether they have visible signs on flooring surfaces or produce persistent musty smells throughout your house when entered into.
  • Low Water Pressure – If you notice a sudden and significant decrease in water pressure, then it’s possible that there is a leak somewhere.
  • Water heater never turns off -then chances are high that there is an underground leak on account of poor insulation around pipes underfoot or faulty plumbing valves above ground.
  • Hot Spots on floors – Ever noticed that different parts of your floor feel warmer than others? Whenever there is a slab leak, the water collects in certain areas and causes those spots to heat up. Linoleum feels warmest where it’s leaking below or behind wall outlets while tile feels slightly cooler near leaks you can’t see on the surface.
  • Foundation Cracks – Foundation cracks can cause pipe leaks but pipe leaks in the concrete can cause foundation cracking. The water that accumulates from the piping breaking or cracking will rise upwards and saturate foundations and slabs. This often leads to them being cracked.

 

Testing for Slab Leaks

If you’re uncertain about how to spot a slab leak or whether it’s time for professional help, here are some helpful ways to test out the problem:

  1. Be careful! Shutting off your water could be a very dangerous operation.
  2. Find the main valve and turn it clockwise until all of the water stops flowing, but don’t forget that some appliances have hidden shutoff valves like dishwashers or washing machines so you’ll need to check those too before shutting down any other fixtures.
  3. Once everything has been turned off, confirm by checking your meter for signs of leaks – if it’s still running then there may be something going on underground which would require professional help.

Slab Leaks Need to be Repaired Quickly & Effectively.

Slab leaks can result in expensive repairs if they are not taken care of quickly. They can damage your cabinetry, carpets, tiles, hardwood floors, and even your house’s foundation. There are several routes we can take to repair a slab leak for you depending on the amount of damage done, the property’s type of plumbing, and your personal preferences.

These methods include:

Pipe rerouting – It may seem counterintuitive, but it is the most cost-effective option. Pipe rerouting will involve redirecting the water supply pipe away from that leak area.

Cutting through the foundation – This works well if you have a modern home, we will cut open your pipes and fix them, this fix is a long-term solution.

Repiping – With an older home, it’s not uncommon for the pipes to start leaking and need to be repiped. The plumbing line needs to be removed & replaced when leaking becomes frequent.

Pipe Coating – This can help when we determine it’s too difficult or expensive for us to cut through the foundation of an older home. We will coat the pipes with epoxy to stop the leak.
