A leak that is located underneath the slab foundation of your home is called a slab leak. These are leaks in the pipes running under the concrete foundation and up into various rooms to supply your water. As the soil and your foundation shift, these pipes can become cracked and form small leaks. Over time, the leaks become more extensive and will wash out the ground under your home.
It can be hard even to suspect that you have a slab leak and even more challenging to locate it because it is buried under your home. When you think that you might have a hidden leak under the slab foundation of your home, it is critical that you call the leak detection specialists at Metroplex Leak & Locate immediately. Time is essential in locating and repairing a slab leak before it causes damage to your foundation and your home.
Finding a leak under your concrete slab is not always the most significant challenge that out plumbers face. The location of the leak can make it very difficult to access and repair. The most manageable leaks to fix are the ones that we discover which are close to the edge of your foundation. Our plumber can tunnel under the concrete foundation and make the repair from underneath your home.
When the leak is too far from the edge of the foundation to access by digging, our second option is to reroute the piping. In this case, we will run a new pipe through the attic or crawl space under your home. This allows us to abandon the leaking pipe and eliminate the potential for any future issues with leaks in that part of your foundation.
If your home has no crawl space and the attic is not an option, then we will access the leak through your foundation. This does require making a small hole in the concrete to reach the leak and make the repair, but it does not diminish the strength of your foundation. Once the pipe is repaired and pressure tested, we will patch the hole in your foundation.
After our plumber has determined the location of the foundation leak, he or she will prepare a written estimate for you. It will detail all of the possible repair solutions and their costs. At that point, you can select the option that will best meet your needs and your budget.
