A slab leak is one of the most serious plumbing issues a home can face. At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we specialize in detecting and repairing slab leaks quickly to prevent costly damage to your foundation, flooring, and plumbing system. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and proven repair methods to find the problem and fix it the right way.
Because slab leaks occur under the concrete foundation of your home, they often go unnoticed until the damage becomes severe. There are several signs that can indicate a hidden leak beneath your slab. You might hear the sound of running water even when all fixtures are turned off, notice higher-than-normal water bills, or feel warm spots on the floor if a hot water line is leaking.
Other indicators include damp carpet, warped flooring, cracks in walls or tile, or the growth of mildew in unusual areas. Some homeowners also see water pooling outside near the foundation. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP as soon as possible. Quick action can prevent thousands of dollars in structural damage.
Several factors can lead to a slab leak. The most common causes include corrosion, poor installation, or shifting soil. Over time, metal pipes can wear down from friction against concrete or from chemical reactions with minerals in the water. In Texas, soil movement from seasonal temperature changes can also stress underground pipes, causing them to crack or break.
In older homes, copper pipes are especially prone to corrosion and pinhole leaks. Even small leaks can expand over time and compromise the foundation if they are not repaired quickly.
At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we use modern leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of a slab leak without unnecessary demolition. Our technicians use electronic listening devices, infrared imaging, and pressure testing to identify leaks beneath the surface. Once the source is confirmed, we explain our findings clearly so you know what is happening before any work begins.
This noninvasive approach allows us to find leaks with precision, reduce repair costs, and minimize disruption inside your home.
Once the leak is located, there are several repair options depending on the condition of your plumbing system and the extent of the damage. For small leaks, a spot repair may be all that is needed. This involves accessing the leaking section directly, replacing the damaged pipe, and sealing the area back up.
In cases where pipes under the slab are aging or have multiple leaks, a reroute or repipe may be the better long-term solution. This process bypasses the old line by running new piping through walls or the attic, which eliminates the need to dig through the foundation again.
Epoxy pipe lining is another option for certain systems, creating a protective coating inside the existing line to stop the leak and prevent future corrosion. Our team will recommend the most reliable solution for your home, focusing on durability, safety, and minimal disruption.
