Slab leaks occur beneath the concrete foundation and most often go unnoticed, causing serious plumbing issues that a home can face. These types of leaks can lead to higher water bills, structural concerns, and costly repairs if left untreated. Flow Plumbing provides professional leak detection and sewer line repair to help homeowners address slab leaks before they escalate.
What Is a Slab Leak?
When a water line or sewer line beneath your home’s concrete foundation develops a leak, it is considered a slab leak. These pipes are hidden below the slab, making these leaks not visible, and if undetected, can continue for long periods without obvious signs. Over time, leaking water can weaken the foundation, damage flooring, and create conditions for mold growth.
Common Signs to Look For
While slab leaks are hidden, they often leave subtle clues. Some of the most common signs include:
- Unexplained increases in water bills
- Warm or damp spots on floors
- Cracks in flooring, tile, or foundation
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Sounds of running water when fixtures are turned off
Not every leak presents clear symptoms, which is why professional inspection is so important when something feels off.
Why Slab Leaks Should Never Be Ignored
Ignoring a slab leak allows water to continue spreading beneath your home. This can cause your foundation to shift, your flooring to be damaged, and moisture-related issues that can impact the structure of your property over time. What can start small can quickly turn into major plumbing repairs if left untreated.
Early leak detection helps limit damage and keeps repair costs manageable. Acting quickly protects both your home and your peace of mind.
