Slab Leak Detection
Detection and repair of leaks beneath the foundation slab.
Slab leaks occur when water or sewer pipes beneath your home's concrete foundation develop cracks or holes. These leaks can cause foundation shifting, cracking, mold growth, and skyrocketing water bills. People's Choice Plumbing specializes in non-invasive slab leak detection using acoustic and electronic equipment to pinpoint the exact location without unnecessary jackhammering. We then provide repair options ranging from spot repair to rerouting the pipe above the slab.
What's Included
- Acoustic and electronic slab leak detection
- Precise leak location under concrete
- Spot repair through the slab
- Pipe reroute option to avoid future slab leaks
- Foundation damage assessment
- Insurance claim documentation assistance
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes slab leaks?
Slab leaks are commonly caused by corrosion of copper pipes from soil chemistry, shifting or settling of the foundation, poor original installation, abrasion from pipes rubbing against concrete or rebar, and high water pressure.
What are the signs of a slab leak?
Common signs are warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, unexplained high water bills, damp or cracked flooring, and low water pressure. Florida homes built on concrete slabs are especially prone to them.
Can a slab leak be fixed without breaking up the floor?
Often, yes. Depending on where the leak is, we may reroute the line through walls or the attic instead of jackhammering the slab. We'll explain the options and their costs after locating the leak.
How urgent is a slab leak?
Fairly urgent. Water escaping under the slab can erode the soil beneath your foundation, damage flooring and encourage mold. Call during weekday hours for same-day help, and shut off the main water valve if the leak is significant.
