Slab Leak Detection Repair
Bringing Back Quality Service
Homes that are built on a concrete foundation (a slab) usually have a system of pipes running underneath. These pipes connect the main water lines to the plumbing system inside the home. If one of those pipes cracks or breaks, you have what is called a slab leak.
A slab leak is a costly problem that can threaten the structural integrity of your entire home. When the pipes under a slab leak, you may experience soil erosion which causes your home to “settle” unevenly. If you suspect that you have a slab leak, call the Bardwell slab leak detection and repair team at DAZ Plumbing & Locating.
The pipes that run underneath your home’s foundation are difficult to access, and it is almost impossible for homeowners to identify and repair a leak. That is why you should be familiar with the common signs of a slab leak, so you know when it is time to call a Bardwell slab leak detection and repair professional. The most common signs of a slab leak are:
When water leaks under the foundation, it can warm up the concrete. This heat is then transferred to your floors. If you notice that your floors are warmer than usual, you may have a slab leak. What’s more, the pipes may have been leaking for quite some time in order for the heat to transfer noticeably.
Any type of plumbing leak can cause your water bills to increase without warning. If the leak is under your home, you may lose a substantial amount of water before getting your bill. If your water bills seem to have been increasing, or you notice a sudden increase, contact an expert to check out your plumbing system. Diagnosing and fixing the plumbing problem is the key to getting your water bills back on track.
Mold growth is one of the first ways that many homeowners realize they have a plumbing problem. Mold thrives in moist environments, and if you have a leak in your walls or under the foundation, that moisture seeps into your walls and flooring. Over time, mold spreads through the air and on moist surfaces, so it is important to identify the source of moisture and remediate the mold as soon as possible.
Have you noticed a decrease in the water pressure in your home? Have you cleaned your faucets but the pressure just isn’t there? You may have a slab leak. Slab leaks affect the main water line coming into your home. A leak in that system affects water pressure to every faucet and appliance. If your water pressure suddenly seems low, it may be time to contact a plumbing professional.
