Slab Leaks

A crack or leak in the plumbing system which occurs under the concrete slab foundation of your home is called a slab leak. A slab leak can exist for quite some time before it is discovered. If you suspect a leak in your slab, take immediate measures to minimize future damage. Slab leaks will destroy your home’s foundation, furnishings and create unhealthy air quality inside your home if left untreated. Watch for the following signs, any of them can indicate a presence of a slab leak:

  1. The sound of running water in spite of all the closed taps
  2. Cracks in floors, walls or concrete slabs
  3. Floor areas that have secluded hot or warm areas
  4. Areas with mildew or damp areas
  5. Excessively high water bills
