Slab Leak Repair

Slab leaks can often go undetected for a period of time, which makes them more risky than other plumbing problems and can lead to significant property damage if not addressed. Thankfully, the professionals at Specialized Pipe Technologies (SPT) utilize the industry’s leading technology for the detection and repair of slab leaks. Knowing the warning signs for slab leaks will help you detect them early and seek out professional assistance with their repair.

What is a Slab Leak?

If your home or business is built on a concrete slab, your water and sewer lines will typically run underneath the concrete, and then up through the slab to connect with the rest of your home. When the pipes leak underneath or within the concrete slab, it is referred to as a slab leak.

Structures that are more than 25 years old are more likely to experience slab leaks because all metal pipes will corrode, rust, or deteriorate over time. They can also develop cracks or holes as a result of natural expanding and contracting due to weather, ground temperature, or the temperature of the water running through them.

Signs You Have a Slab Leak

At SPT, we understand that early detection of a slab leak is vital to mitigating property damage and the cost of repairs. You may have a slab leak if you experience:

• Hearing the sound of water running, even when all fixtures are turned off
• A sudden increase in your water bill
• Standing water around your property
• Cracks in the floor, walls, or foundation
• Mildew or mold in the carpeting
• Buckling or warping of hardwood floors
• Low water pressure

Any one of these symptoms can indicate a slab leak. Don’t ignore the signs and call our industry professionals at SPT as soon as you notice signs of a problem. We’ll arrive quickly and get started on repairs to minimize the impact on your property.

Your Options for Slab Leak Repair

The severity of your slab leak may impact the repair options that are right for you. Minor slab leaks can be fixed using the same pipe lining techniques we use to repair plumbing elsewhere in your home. Epoxy resin can be used to fill in small cracks, holes, or other minor damage. This is the most affordable and least invasive method of slab leak repair.

Re-routing the pipe is another option for slab leak repair. When only a short length of pipe needs to be replaced, rerouting the pipe above ground can help you avoid going through the floor and jackhammering through the slab. If all else fails, a direct repair can be used by accessing the pipe through the floor to replace the damaged pipe.
