Slab Leaks

A slab leak occurs when a pipe beneath the concrete foundation of your house breaks. This can occur with both water and sewer pipes. What you get is unwanted water into your home’s foundation. When it comes to slab leaks detection is everything.

Slab Leak Warning Signs

A slab leak is a specific and potentially extremely costly plumbing problem. Unfortunately, homeowners do not become aware they have a slab leak until it is too late to fix without professional help and assistance. The sooner you identify a slab leak, the less you will have to pay to repair it properly. Here are some of the most common signs of slab leak problems:

• The continuous sound of running water you can’t explain or locate.
• The water bills are going through the roof.
• Wet of warm spots on your floor.
• Buckling or cracking foundation.
• Cracks in the walls.
• Mold or carpet mildew.

If water gets in contact with the ground beneath your house, the foundation is in jeopardy resulting in serious damages that can ruin your home. Besides the structural damages, slab leaks can create cosmetic problems, such as buckling and cracking both floor and walls as well as damage to furniture.

What are my slab leak repair options?

The biggest challenge of conducting a successful slab leak repair is not to turn your home into a war zone with countless craters. Time is of the essence when it comes to slab leak repairs. Your slab leak repair options would be:

• Cutting and opening the foundation to fix the broken pipes is an option in a modern home with up-to-date pipes.
• Repiping the entire water or sewer line is the only option in older homes with consistent slab leaks.
• Pipe coating is the most efficient and cost-effective option for homeowners who identify a slab leak problem on time.
