Types Of Plumbing Leaks

Any leak that you can see is considered an overt leak. This includes leaking faucets, dripping pipes under the sink, and even toilets that continuously run. The problem is evident and easy to fix. The more challenging leaks are the ones that we call hidden or concealed leaks. These are inside the walls and floors of your home or under the foundation of your slab home.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when there is damage to one of the water pipes that is running under the slab foundation of your home. These pipes supply the water to the various areas of your home. They run up through the concrete slab and into spaces like the laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen. Sometimes, the soil under your home will move slightly, causing one of the water pipes to crack and begin to leak.

Slab leaks are very serious for two reasons. First, they can be hard to detect, so you might not be aware that there is a leak. Second, they can cause a great deal of damage to your foundation if they are not professionally repaired. Any time you suspect a leak under your foundation, call the leak detection specialists of Sherman Oaks, Ca at Turbo Plumbing & Rooter immediately. Our emergency plumbing team will arrive quickly to locate the leak and limit the possibility of further damage to your home.

Locating Slab Leaks

As you can imagine, it is tough to find a leak that is hidden under concrete. But thanks to amazing new technology, the pros at Turbo Plumbing & Rooter can locate slab leaks by hearing them. Our sound amplification tools can detect even a tiny drip of water under the foundation of your home. This method allows us to quickly locate the leak without damaging your foundation in any way.

Repairing Slab Leaks

Again, dealing with a leak that is located under a concrete foundation is a challenge. But our pros have the expertise and experience needed to get the job done quickly and professionally. If the leak is near the edge of your home, it is possible to carefully dig under the concrete to access the leak.

If the leak is not accessible via digging, our second choice is to abandon the leaking pipe and reroute a new one. This new pipe could be run in your attic, inside the walls and floors of your house or a crawl space. By installing a new pipe, we provide a new water supply line, and we eliminate the possibility of future slab leaks in the pipe that we have abandoned.

The final option is to open a small section of your foundation to access the leak and repair the pipe. This approach does create some temporary mess inside your home, but we will clean that up before we are finished working at your home. After we repair the leaking pipe, we always pressure test the line to make sure that there are no other leaks or reasons for concern. Then we patch the hole in your foundation and clean up the entire work area.

Leak Detection in Sherman Oaks, Ca is not uncommon, and worrying about a water leak that is located in your home or under the foundation is very stressful. But know that a team of leak detection specialist in Sherman Oaks, Ca is only a phone call away. And we will not begin searching by creating holes in your walls, floor, and foundation. Call (818) 740-6830 and let the pros from Turbo Plumbing & Rooter show you the professional way to locate and repair concealed leaks.
