What Are Slab Leaks?

You may be wondering, "What is a slab leak?" Slab leaks can occur due to outdated, poor-quality, or incorrectly installed pipes, or because of shifts in the surrounding soil either due to a change in water pressure or natural occurrence like an earthquake.

Regardless of the cause behind the leak, it’s imperative to reach out to our emergency plumbers right away. Our skilled and highly trained technicians have the tools and know-how needed to quickly locate and repair your slab leak without causing further harm.

However, like with most plumbing issues, the sooner you detect a problem and call a professional, the less damage your property will experience.

How Common Are Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks are very common. In South Carolina, we have plenty of conditions that are linked to slab leaks such as clay soil and the presence of older plumbing systems and homes.

Additionally, most homes here are built on slab foundations. If you have an older home, it’s definitely important to be on the lookout for slab leaks. They aren’t exactly inevitable, but they are so common that everyone should be aware of the potential of having one.

What Are the Most Common Signs of Slab Leaks?

The 4 most common signs of slab leaks are:

• Wet Flooring -
  One of the most common signs that your home has a slab leak is that the leak will eventually reach your flooring and can cause significant damage if not taken care of. If left unchecked a slab leak can also turn into repairing your floor as well.
• Hot Spots On Your Floor -
  If you notice spots of your flooring feel warm, it could be due to a slab leak. Slab leaks often occur in the hot water line and leak out into the ground. When this happens you'll notice spots of your tile flooring or hardwood flooring will be hot. Contact us as soon as you notice these hot spots.
• Unusually High Water Bills -
  If your water bill has increased month over month, it could be due to a slab leak. When a slab leak has been dripping water for months, you're water bill is going to increase due to the leak in the piping.
• Rushing Water Noises Even When the Water is Off -
  When you hear the sound of running or rushing water and now water is turned on in your home, this could be a sign that your have a slab leak in your home. Make sure to check the lower level of your home and inspect the floor. If you are hearing water under your floor, you need to contact our professional slab leak technicians as soon as possible.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

There are several potential causes of slab leaks, including:

• Poor pipe installation: If your pipes were not installed correctly, they are more likely to leak due to a lack of support and/or proper connections.

• Pipe corrosion: Pipe corrosion can occur over time which can cause weakened pipes to break and leak under the foundation. Several factors can contribute to this such as the age of your pipes, if your water is too hard or too soft, and if you have excessively high water pressure.

• Soil movement: Underground soil erosion can cause shifts that put pressure on your pipes and eventually cause them to leak.

• And more

If a slab leak is neglected, serious problems can arise, such as:

• Cracks in the foundation of your home
