House Slab Water Leak Repair
Slab leaks can be tricky to detect until they start causing damage. Common signs include unusually high water bills, damp or warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when all faucets are off, and cracks in tile or foundation. Noticing these issues early can save you from costly repairs.
Causes of Slab Leaks
Slab leaks often occur due to corrosion in older pipes, shifting soil under the foundation, poor installation, or high water pressure. Homes with copper pipes or plumbing running through concrete slabs are especially susceptible. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for a permanent fix.
Professional detection methods are the safest way to locate a slab leak. Our team uses electronic leak detection tools, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak accurately. These methods prevent unnecessary damage to your floors or foundation during the inspection.
Slab leak repairs can vary depending on the severity and location. Pipe rerouting avoids breaking concrete, while epoxy pipe lining can seal the leak from inside. In some cases, localized slab cutting may be necessary to replace the damaged section. Our team recommends the most effective, long-lasting solution tailored to your home.
