Understanding Slab Leaks

The "slab" is another way to refer to a concrete foundation. It's common for water and sewer lines to be placed under a slab for the sake of convenience. If any of these lines deteriorate or become damaged, the result is often a slab leak. We typically use non-invasive methods and state-of-the-art equipment to detect slab leaks. For instance, some detection equipment allows sounds of running water to be used as a guide to finding a leak’s location.

Signs of a Slab Leak

It's not always easy to know for sure if you have a slab leak, especially if the leak is fairly minor. For this reason, we recommend reaching out for leak detection if you are noticing:

• Unusually high water bills
• Sounds of running water where you shouldn't be hearing it
• Cracks in walls or floors
• Water stains or wet, soggy floors
• A sudden dip in water pressure
• A meter that's constantly running

Slab Leak Repair FAQs

How can I prevent slab leaks?

Not all slab leaks are entirely preventable. That said, it can be helpful to maintain your home's water pressure so it's not too high and avoid the use of corrosive chemical drain cleaners.

Can trenchless repair methods be used to fix pipes under slabs?

In some cases, minimally invasive repair methods can be used to safely and effectively repair pipes under slabs. Whether or not this is possible will depend on factors such as the location of the leak and the extent of the damage.

What are some other slab leak repair options?

There are times when it may be necessary to break through the slab to make repairs. However, it's sometimes possible to re-route pipes to above-ground areas to avoid digging or to tunnel beneath the slab.
