Slab Leak Repair

Slab Leaks

As an Orange County resident, your home might be built upon a concrete slab. A slab leak is a leak in the water pipes beneath your home, specifically the pipes buried below the concrete slab. A slab leak can be very costly if not addressed immediately and can ruin your floors and foundation. Slab leaks can also increase your water bills and lead to cracks in your walls and home’s foundation. Your best solution is to find a slab leak plumber who also specializes in water leak detection. Here are some common signs that you might have a slab leak:

High Water Bills

High water bills are an indication that you might have a slab leak. Even if you notice your bill increase by very small amounts, if you are not using excessive water, you could have a leak in the slab. You should call an emergency plumber immediately for a leak detection diagnosis.

Floor Hot Spots

If the slab leak is in your hot water pipes, your floor will feel warm at the location of the water leak. The hot water has leaked into and under the concrete slab causing your floor to have a hot spot. When standing over the hot spot, if you hear the sound of gushing water, this is also another indicator of a leak.

Low Water Pressure

When you have a leak under your concrete slab, it causes a significant increase in water usage due to the water leak. This displacement of water consumption could cause the water pressure in the rest of your home to drop. Pay attention to your water pressure. If there is a sudden drop, you could have a slab leak!

Corrosion and abrasion of your pipes over time can cause slab leaks. Some other common causes of a slab leak are poor pipe installation, ground shifts, earthquakes, and tree roots. You need a professional plumber in your corner who is experienced in diagnosing and fixing slab leaks. Proper leak detection techniques can help a slab leak plumber identify the exact location of the leak to save you money and time.
