A leak in the slab is caused by plumbing pipes deteriorating under the foundation of your home. These leaking pipes can cause serious damage as the water rises to the surface of the foundation. The water will destroy the floor covering and other flooring materials.

Slab foundation homes are becoming more popular and as such water and sewer leaks under the slab are becoming more of a problem for homeowners. If you hear water running or have noticed an increase in your water bill, you may have a leaking pipe under your slab. This is a serious problem and it will only get worse with the longer you put off repairing it. Repairing a leaking slab will most likely be expensive, but the problem will only become more costly the longer you wait to repair it.

Slab leak symptoms can include:

  1. A sudden increase in your water bill.
  2. A noticeable drop in water pressure.
  3. Damp carpeting or other floor coverings.
  4. Cracks or settling of the foundation.
  5. Mildew on the walls or baseboards.

If you notice any of these symptoms you should call a plumber experienced in slab leak detection immediately to avoid more expensive repairs by waiting until the problem gets worse. Video leak detection is the best way to locate slab leaks.

A plumber can locate and repair slab leaks using electronic leak detection technology. Always hire a plumber that specializes in electronic camera leak detection that can locate and repair the leaking slab quickly, before the problem gets worse and cost you much more in repairs.
