A slab leak is a water leak that occurs in plumbing lines located beneath the concrete foundation (slab) of a home.

What are common signs of a slab leak?

Signs include warm or damp spots on floors, unexplained water bills, reduced water pressure, cracks in flooring, mold odors, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off.

Are slab leaks dangerous to my home?

Yes. Slab leaks can undermine foundations, cause structural damage, and lead to mold growth if not addressed promptly.

Can slab leaks be detected without breaking the slab?

Yes. Modern detection methods allow slab leaks to be located accurately before any concrete is cut or removed.

What causes slab leaks?

Common causes include pipe corrosion, shifting soil, poor installation, abrasion against concrete, or high water pressure.

Should slab leaks be repaired immediately?

Yes. Delaying repair can increase damage and repair costs and may affect the structural integrity of the home.
