Slab Leak Repair

Slab Leak Detection & Repair

Many homes are built on concrete slab foundations, with underground plumbing connected to the slab in several places. Unfortunately, the pipes connected to the slab can crack, which results in a slab leak. A slab leak can cause significant damage to your concrete slab foundation, and eventually the water level will rise up into your home.

All water leaks are a hassle, but slab leaks are very serious and can cause widespread damage that can be very expensive to repair. One of the biggest issues with slab leaks is the fact that they are difficult to detect. Knowing common signs of a slab leak will ensure that you can have it repaired promptly before it causes massive damage.

Tips for Identifying a Slab Leak

Since slab leaks occur under your house, it can be hard to know that there is a problem. However, there are several warning signs that may indicate that your home has a slab leak. Some common signs of a slab leak include:

Drastic Increase in Water Bill

If you receive a water bill that is much higher than normal, there is cause for concern. First, call your utility company to find out if they made a clerical error and accidentally overcharged you. In the event that your large water bill is not an error, you should immediately call a plumber for assistance; and experienced plumber will be able to inspect your plumbing system and determine if you have a slab leak or a leak somewhere else.

Check Your Water Meter

Your home’s water heater can be a very useful tool when you want to know if you may have a slab leak. Check your water meter and make a note of the number displayed. Then, make sure that every faucet is turned off and don’t use any water for a couple of hours. After a few hours, check your water meter again and compare the number displayed to the original number you wrote down. If the number has increased despite not using any water, you could possibly have a slab leak.

Presence of Mold and Mildew

Even if a leak starts under your home’s concrete slab, the water and moisture will eventually make it inside your house. When there is a serious slab leak, it is not uncommon for mold and mildew to grow in areas of the home close to the floor. If you are worried that your home may have a slab leak, consider pulling up a small corner of carpeting to see if there is any mold or mildew growing under the carpet pad.

Water in Your Home

Never ignore water in your home, no matter how small the amount is. When you have a slab leak, you will eventually see water if the leak is serious. If your home has a basement, you will most likely see water from a slab leak in there first. In homes that don’t have a basement, you may see water pooling on the first floor of your house.

The earlier you have a slab leak repaired, the better. Any time that you’re worried that there may be a slab leak under your home, contact Metroplex Leak & Line Locators at 214-388-4525. We take great pride in providing expert slab leak detection and in repair in Mesquite, TX and the Dallas area.
