Slab leaks are an enemy that most homeowners hope never to encounter. Slab leaks are difficult to see and may cause a host of problems for your home and plumbing.

Slab leaks are almost impossible to see unless you have a crack in your foundation. There are some tell-tale signs, however, that may tip you off that there is a problem. Some of the most common signs of a slab leak include:
Any type of plumbing leak can cause your water bills to be unusually high. If your bill is higher than what you expect and you cannot see an obvious reason why – a leaky pipe or problem with the exterior water line – then you may have a slab leak. Of course, there could be other plumbing problems that you cannot easily see. That’s why it is best to contact DAZ Plumbing to find out for sure where your dollars are going.
Mold develops in areas where there is a lot of moisture. Even if you can’t see a water leak in your home, mold may be a sign of a plumbing problem or slab leak. It is important to address and remediate mold as soon as possible. If mold is due to a slab leak, then simply cleaning visible mold will not solve your problem. You must fix the source of moisture and completely eliminate spores.
There are many types of mold, each of which can cause an allergic reaction. Some people exposed to mold only experience mild discomfort, while others develop asthma-like symptoms. Exposure to certain types of toxic mold can even be potentially life-threatening.
If you notice damp floors in your home, or water seeping up through vinyl or wood floors, it is a good indication that you have a slab leak. Slab leaks that come up through your floors can be increasingly expensive to repair the longer the problem persists. You may need to replace your flooring in addition to repairing the slab leak. You can reduce the cost of repairs by contacting a slab detection and repair professional as soon as you notice a problem.
