The Plumber You and Your Wallet Will Love

Have you noticed sudden spikes in your water bill? Do you hear water running, even when your pipes aren’t being used? If you are experiencing any of these, you might be facing a slab leak. Slab leaks can be hard to detect since they originate under your home’s foundation, so calling a professional for assistance is always a good idea.

What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak is basically a leak that has developed in your pipes underneath your house’s foundation. This type of leak can be caused by a number of things, including corrosion, improper installation of pipes, or abrasion against the pipes. It is significant to identify these leaks early on, to minimize the chances of long-term damage. Common long-term effects include water damage, warped wood floors, mold growth, and weakened or damaged foundation.

How Do You Find a Leak Under a Concrete Floor?

To find a leak under a concrete floor, you must locate the water's source. First, check for signs of water damage on walls and ceilings near the area with the suspected leak. If there is visible water damage, you can use a moisture meter to detect higher moisture levels on the concrete floor. You may also want to use an infrared camera to pinpoint the leak's location. Once you have located the source of the leak, you can then drill through the concrete and patch any cracks or holes with a waterproof sealant to repair it.
