Signs of a Slab Leak
Slab leaks are the most destructive type of plumbing leak. They occur under the slab foundation of your home, so they can remain undetected for a long time. The good news is, slab leaks have several indicators.
The most common signs of a slab leak include:
- A spike in your water bill
- Sound of dripping water when all faucets are off
- Damp carpet or warped hardwood flooring
- Water pooling where it shouldn’t be
- Water stains on walls and ceilings
- Mold growth
Once you’ve noticed any of the signs on the list, contact our slab leak detection plumbers right away. We can come to your home the same day you call to find and fix your slab leak quickly and efficiently.
How Do You Get a Slab Leak?
- Foundation Movement – Pipes can break when a foundation shifts due to an earthquake or settling. The increase in pressure can cause pipes to split or enough movement can cause breakage to occur.
- Corrosion – Corrosion is generally more common in hot water pipes, but it can take place in cold pipes as well. Depending on the chemistry of surrounding soil, corrosion can happen slower or more quickly than average.
- Abrasion – Temperature changes cause pipes to move. Enough movement and rough contact with surrounding surfaces can wear down pipes enough to create holes.
- Old Age – As pipes weaken with age, the chances of a breakdown increase. A plumbing system that has not been cared for will also have a shorter lifespan and increased chance of failure.
- Improper Installation – Pipes that suffered damage during installation will be much more likely to break over time. Failing to check the quality of pipes during installation can be a critical mistake.
