Have you noticed a spike in your water bills, water pooling outside your home, or mold growing? If so, you may have a slab leak. A slab leak is a serious plumbing problem that can impact your entire home. Not to mention the negative impact on your finances.
If you have a slab leak, the concrete that supports your home may start to deteriorate. Over time, this can cause cracks in your foundation, uneven settling and damage to the interior and exterior of your home. The damage to your home can be significant in a short amount of time. That is why you need the expertise of DAZ Plumbing & Locating.
Our Pecan Hill leak detection and repair team knows what to look for and how to confirm where a leak is. Furthermore, we know how to repair a leak correctly the first time.
If you have a slab leak, you may notice some telltale signs. It is important to take those signs seriously and get professional help. Contact DAZ Plumbing & Locating if you notice any of the following:
One of the first signs that you have a water leak is a sudden spike in your water bill. If your bill suddenly increases without a legitimate reason – filling a pool or running sprinklers – then you may have a water leak. The only way to get your water bill back where it should be is to identify the leak and get it repaired as soon as possible.
If you have a slab leak, you may notice water pooling in unusual places. This happens because the water needs a way to escape out from under the foundation. Pay attention to low spots outside near your home’s foundation. If there is no reason for water to pool, such as a sprinkler or water hose, then you should contact a slab leak detection and repair expert.
If you have a slab leak in the hot water line, the heat can seep up through the concrete to your flooring. Over time, you may notice that linoleum, hardwood or vinyl flooring seems warmer than usual.
Mold is an allergen that grows in environments with excess moisture. If you have a slab leak, that environment could be the inside of your home. When there is a slab leak, moisture can seep into the concrete and wood frame that supports your home. That moisture can cause mold to grow on wood, drywall and subflooring. You do not want mold in your home. The only way to get rid of mold is to find the source of the moisture and repair the leak.
