All water leaks are bad, but some are easy to locate and others that are very challenging to find. The easy to identify leaks are the ones that you see and hear around your home. It might be a running toilet, a dripping shower, or even a leak in the hose bib in your backyard. All of these are easy to pinpoint and easy for your Metroplex Leak & Locate plumber to repair.
However, the leaks that a real challenge are the ones that you can’t see or even hear. These hidden leaks might come to your attention when you receive a huge water bill or notice a decrease in the water pressure in your home. In most cases, these leaks are under the slab foundation of your home and will continue to wash away soil and compromise your foundation until they are repaired.
Not too many years ago, slab leaks were found by smashing holes in the foundation to look for the water leaks. Fortunately, modern technology has afforded some tremendous advanced in that process. Now Metroplex Leak & Locate plumbers use pressure tests, line isolation procedures, and sound amplification equipment to pinpoint leaks under the foundation of your home.
The pressure testing and line isolation process will tell us if there is genuinely a leak under your foundation. Then we will pull out the technology to find its exact location. With this equipment, trained pros can hear the sound of a trickle of water escaping through a crack in a water line and running to ground under your home. The key to success with this tool is years of experience and proper training to distinguish the sound of a leak from other natural sounds.
Some slab leaks are easier to fix than others. The leaks that are near the edge of your foundation can be accessed by digging a hole or tunnel under the concrete. The repair is then made and pressure tested before the soil hole is backfilled and compacted back in place.
When it is not possible to dig to the leak, we can often abandon the leaking pipe and reroute a new pipe through your home. The new piping is installed in a crawl space, attic or even inside the walls of your home to resupply full water service. In most cases, this can be done with minimal destruction inside your home.
When it is impossible to dig to reach a pipe or abandon it and install a new pipe, the existing pipe must be repaired. To do this, we need to cut a small hole in your foundation at the location of the leak. After the leak is fixed and pressure tested, we repair the concrete, and your plumbing and foundation are as good as new.
