What causes a Slab Leak?

Slab leaks are generally caused by: old piping, cheap material, hard water, soil corrosion, and electrolysis. The chance of having a slab leak is increased with higher than normal water pressure. It is wise to check your home’s water pressure every 6 months to prevent potential issues with your plumbing system.

Slab Leak Detection

Leak detection is the first step in accurately locating the broken pipe and diagnosing your home’s plumbing system. Our leak detection specialists at Slab Leaks Plus Inc. are trained with state of the art electronic and radar equipment to precisely locate the leak in or underneath the concrete slab. Once the leak is located, we will take the necessary steps to repair or replace the leaking pipe immediately.

Slab Leak Repair Options

There are two main slab leak repair options that we perform. The first option, which is recommended by Slab Leaks Plus Inc., is to reroute the broken pipe. This is where we cap off and abandon the old pipe that is under the slab and install a new, flexible pipe overhead through the walls and ceiling. This option saves you both time and money, providing you the most cost-effective solution to a slab leak.

The second option is a direct access repair where we cut into the concrete to repair the pipe. This option is not usually recommended in our area due to post-tension concrete slabs, foundation shifts and the fact that the same pipe may spring another leak in the future.

Are Slab Leaks Covered By Homeowners Insurance?

Depending on your homeowner’s insurance policy, some or all of the repair costs can be covered by your insurance company. We will provide you with a full plumber’s report detailing the slab leakage and the repairs that were completed, so you can properly file a claim with your insurance provider. We understand that slab leaks are frustrating and can cause significant damage, and we are here to help you where we can.
