Whether the leak is under the sink, in the walls, or a slab leak under the foundation of your house, we are prepared to patch it up for good.
How Does Leak Detection Work?
- You give us a call and describe the problem to us. We will schedule an appointment, with same-day availability if necessary.
- We will do an initial inspection based on your description of the leak. We may identify visible or audible signs that point us toward where the leak is.
- We will bring in equipment to identify the full extent of the problem. This may include acoustic sensors, cameras, and more to properly assess what’s going on inside your walls or in less visible areas.
- Then, we provide you with an estimate and a proposed fix for the leak. We will do our best to give you a timeline for the work as well.
- Finally, we implement the fix and test your newly repaired plumbing system to ensure everything works as expected.
What is a Slab Leak?
There is perhaps no more terrifying type of plumbing problem than a slab leak (if you don’t have the right plumbers on your side!). It is a leak in one of the plumbing lines that run either directly through or beneath the cement slab your home is built on. While these issues aren’t common, they can lead to devastating consequences. If you suspect you have a slab leak, you need to act quickly and reach out to a trustworthy and experienced plumber who can detect where the leak is and quickly implement an effective solution to eliminate it.
But how do you detect a leak in a pipe that you can’t see, can’t hear, and have no idea even exists without looking at a full schematic for your plumbing system?
Here are a few common signs that you might have a slab leak:
- Unexplained dampness or water on certain areas of your floor
- Mold or mildew growing on carpets or wood floors
- Damaged drywall or baseplates near your floor
- Sudden, unexplained spikes in water bills
- Sudden drops in water pressure
- Hot water heaters that are constantly running
