Slab Leak Repairs
Keep an Eye Open for the Sneaky Leaky Situation
Slab leaks have a bad reputation—and rightfully so.
Even the smallest crack, break or leak can deteriorate into a costly disaster. If this severe problem is left unnoticed or unresolved, it can cause rotting and mold. This affects the support structure of your home.
Pay attention to the plumbing pipes and lines that run underneath your foundation. All that it takes is for a slight crack to form and you will be facing extensive and costly damage. And it gets worse. From a tiny crack to a major break, a slab leak puts your home’s foundation at risk of severe destruction.
Many homes have main plumbing lines installed within or below the concrete slab of the foundation. A concrete slab helps your foundation retain its structural strength; it provides no protection for your pipes. As a result, the immense pressure bearing down on those pipes can result in slab leaks.
Signs of a Slab Leak
It is sometimes difficult to differentiate a slab leak from a few other plumbing problems, making a diagnosis can be tricky at times. However, there are some symptoms that the team at Sal Manzo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling looks for to determine the nature of your foundational leak.
- Hearing running water sounds - Water silently travels through underground pipes. If you hear running water and do not have a faucet running, this is a sign of a leak.
- Damp or wet spots on your floor - You may see slightly darker spots, or even small puddles depending on the size and type of leak.
- Spike in your water bill - Higher bills commonly indicate a leak somewhere in the home, but do not determine the source.
- Mold or mildew sightings - When the foundation gets and stays moist for more than a few days, it creates a ripe breeding ground for microbes.
- Cracks in the foundation - The foundation buckling and/or cracks appearing outside of your home or on interior floors indicates a foundational leak.
