Common Causes of Slab Leaks

Plumbing leaks can happen in all types of plumbing and drainpipes. A slab leak occurs when there is a pipe leak under the foundation of your home. Since the leak is under the ground, you may not notice it immediately and the leak may seem insignificant. Slab leaks have a number of possible causes.

Some causes of slab leaks include:

• Burst pipes
• Excessive pressure
• Old pipes
• Poor construction
• Scale buildup inside the pipe

While a slab leak may not seem urgent, these leaks can cause serious damage. When not resolved, the leak can cause the soil under the house to become saturated, which can cause the house to sink into the ground and the floors uneven. Slab leaks can be resolved with repairs, repipes, and re-routing to avoid continuous damage.

How to Recognize a Slab Leak

A pipe leaking under the kitchen sink is easy to recognize, but a leak that happens under the ground is more challenging to detect. You could have a slab leak if you have noticed low water pressure in faucets throughout the house, unusually high water bills, water pooling near the exterior foundation, wet baseboards and carpets, hot spots on the floor, or hearing sounds of running water when the water is turned off.

Pinpointing the exact spot where a pipe is leaking requires the right equipment and expertise. You need a qualified professional to locate the source of your leak and get it repaired. Our technicians are equipped to find the leak and fix it to the highest standards of quality.
