As a home or property owner, you learn quickly that navigating the obstacles of your home is just a part of life. Problems will arise, things will break and it will be up to you to source the most reliable solutions to these problems and issues.
Slab leaks are a very specific type of leak in your piping system and are one of the most severe kinds of leaks that homeowners may have to face. No piping system lasts forever, and every pipe can eventually leak.
When the unfortunate happens and you find that your property is dealing with any sort of plumbing or piping issue, the hard-working professionals here at Earl’s Plumbing have your back.
What Is A Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a leak that forms in the water piping that exists underneath your home’s concrete foundation. This location makes slab leaks unique to address because accessing them is more difficult than simply removing a light piece of drywall or entering a crawlspace.
The location and nature of slab leaks also make them very important to address as soon as you suspect you have one. Left unattended, a slab leak can cause erosion to your home’s foundation, which could lead to any number of serious issues down the road.
Luckily, identifying a potential slab leak is fairly simple and with a little bit of knowledge, you can be better equipped to see the early warning signs of a slab leak. To simplify things, we’ve put together a list of the frequent signs of slab leaks.
9 Most Common Signs Of Slab Leaks
- Your water bill has suddenly spiked
- There is standing water around the foundation of your home
- Random decrease in water pressure
- Warped or buckling floorboards
- You hear running water under your floors with no discernable source
- Carpets and floors are randomly wet, or water pools in the center of the floor with no clear source
- Random warm spots on the floor
- Random mold, must or mildew smells
If you’ve noticed any of these signs at your home or property, it’s vital that you have a professional inspect the situation immediately. As stated above, an unresolved slab leak can easily turn into thousands of dollars in repairs if left unfixed.
The folks here at Earl’s Plumbing fully understand just how problematic a slab leak can be and take an immense amount of pride in being one of the most reliable sources for San Angelo slab leak detection. We guarantee to accurately detect whether or not you have a leak and if so, provide the best solution to your individual situation possible!
Slab Leak Repair
In the cases where a slab leak is detected and you are required to make decisions and find a solution, Earl’s plumbing is here to provide you with the highest quality and most trustworthy local slab leak repair. We’re fully versed in all methods of repair and will walk you through the steps to finding the best solution to your problem. The two most common methods of repair we use are:
- Tunnel Excavation Leak Repair – Used in roughly 85% of the slab leak repairs that we do, tunnel excavation involves creating a structurally safe tunnel underneath the foundation of your home so that repairs can be done without having to cause extensive damage to your home’s foundation or floors.
- Slab Penetration And Excavation – Far more intrusive than tunnel excavation, this method involves accessing the leak by digging directly to it through the lowest point of access available. Luckily, only about 15% of leaks require this type of repair.
Whatever solution your situation calls for, we guarantee that the professionals here at Earl’s will have the knowledge and experience to set you on the right path!
