Slab Leaks Require an Experienced Slab Leak Plumber

Slab leaks occur due to some failure in your concrete foundation or the plumbing system underneath it, like poor construction, shifting soil, weakened water lines, or broken pipes.

In Austin and the surrounding area, our clay-rich soil absorbs water quickly and expands, which puts pressure on concrete slabs. In extreme cases, the pressure can cause concrete to crack or even buckle, allowing water to seep into your foundation and home.

Conversely, a cracked slab can cause soil erosion below it, creating a crater that your foundation can sink into. If that happens, not only do you have structural problems, but the pipes underneath the slab can break and flood your property.

Slab leaks can be hard to identify, and repairing under slab piping and the slabs themselves requires precise equipment and expertise. You should always call an experienced slab leak plumber to assess your situation and perform the repairs.

Recognize When You Need Under Slab Leak Repairs

Identifying a slab leak is crucial to protecting your home or business, and the repairs for it are far less costly than fixing water-damaged floors, walls, and more. Know these signs that indicate a problem within your foundation.

Hikes in Your Water Bills

An increase in your water bill that doesn’t reflect your actual water usage is a definite sign of some plumbing problem. While water bills do fluctuate from month to month, a sudden increase of more than 10 - 15% suggests you need an inspection.

Warm Areas on Your Floors

If you notice a consistently warm spot on your floor above the slab, that’s a good indication that you have a hot water line leak. Try turning off your water heater supply line for a few minutes. If you turn it back on and hear excessive running water, you likely have a slab leak.

Slab leaks aren’t always caused by hot water leaks. Even if your floor isn't warm, you may still have a slab leak, so check for additional signs.

Musty of Damp Smells in Your Home

Subtle or pervasive moldy or musty smells in your home that don’t go away even after you’ve thoroughly cleaned are a sign of water damage somewhere in your house. A slab leak may have allowed water to seep into flooring or walls and allowed mold and mildew to grow, causing a damp odor. Schedule an inspection from Central Texas Plumbing if you notice that smell.

You Hear Running Water

If you hear water running under your floors or through your pipes though your faucets aren’t on, then you have a plumbing problem somewhere. It may be a slab leak, but it could be several other problems, too, so call our experienced plumbers to assess what’s happening.

Soil or Foundation Shifts

Cracks in your foundation or even throughout your home on floors or walls suggest a problem with your slab. Whether shifting soils caused a leak or the slab leak started first and caused the ground to shift, you need to check your home and plumbing systems quickly.

Moist Spots By Your Foundation

Swampy spots in your yard and especially by your concrete foundation that never seem to dry out are also strong indicators of an under slab leak. Call our expert plumbers to help you detect the exact location of the slab leak.
