Trusted, Local Experts in Concrete Slab Leak Detection & Repairs
The Importance of Early Concrete Slab Leak Detection
Most homes are built on a solid slab of concrete. A slab leak refers to a leak that forms in the plumbing underneath your home’s concrete foundation. It is possible for this leak to occur through water or sewer lines. Even small slab leaks can cause severe and costly damage if not detected early as the problem worsens over time. Potential damage ranges from mold or mildew growth to substantial structural damage.
Common Signs of a Slab Leak
Detecting, finding, and repairing a slab leak is uniquely challenging because it is under a slab of concrete. Your best chance at catching a slab leak early and limiting the amount of damage it can cause is knowing how to recognize the warning signs. Below are some of the most common signs that indicate you may have a leak in your slab foundation.
- Hearing the sound of running water even when it is turned off
- Water spots, hot spots, damp areas, or cracks appear on your floor
- Sections of your floor appear swollen
- Mildew or moisture building up beneath the carpeting
- A dramatic increase in your water bills over a short period of time
- Unusually low water pressure
