What Is a Slab Leak & How Do I Know I Have One?

Slab leaks can be especially destructive to the integrity of your property’s foundation, which is why you will want to have them repaired as fast as possible. Since there is more than one type of slab leak, ranging from a water line break to a hot water line that has sprung a leak to any other burst pipe under the surface, identifying the issue can sometimes be challenging. This is why it is so important to be aware of the indicators that your slab foundation could be leaking. 

Some of the major signs that you have a slab leak on your hands include:

• There is a constant sound of running water through the pipes at your home, even when the water has been off for quite a while
• You have seen small cracks lining the floorboards or walls
• There are unexplained warm spots on the floor, indicating that the hot water line may have disconnected
• There has been a lot of mold, mildew, or other bacterial growth along the walls and floors, or beneath the carpet
• You have noticed unexplained increases in your utility and water bills recently

How Slab Leaks Are Repaired

What is involved in fixing a slab leak completely depends on the size of the leak, as well as the extent of the damage. In some cases, the restoration may just be a bit of minor work, if you can catch the leak quickly. In other cases, you may need some extensive deconstruction, particularly if the leak has been hidden for a long time. One of the most effective means of resolving a slab leak problem is by the method of rerouting.

For this option, expert plumbers will eliminate your pipes from the slab foundation where they have been causing trouble. These pipes can then be safely rerouted through a place where they will not create more havoc, such as your attic, or any other removed space.
