Slab Leaks: The Most Dangerous Leak

Slab leaks describe leaks underneath your home’s concrete “slab” or basement floor. These leaks are never visible, so they can release water and increase a water bill for months before being noticed. Even if you can’t see them, there are ways to know if you have a slab leak, such as damp floors, high water bills, buckling floors, and the sound of trickling water.

Once we identify the source, we’ll begin leak repairs while avoiding invasive plumbing work as much as possible.

Leak Detection FAQs

Can you tell me how to detect a water leak? 

If you suspect a water leak in your home, the most reliable solution is to call a plumbing professional. Our experts have special tools and will be able to correctly identify the leak source and any additional damage throughout your home. However, if you’re uncertain, you can follow these helpful tips on how to identify hidden water leaks. 

How does leak detection work?

Most leak detection systems use a small turbine or ultrasonic wavelengths to monitor the flow of water through your pipes. These systems use sensors to recognize and record abnormalities in water flow, pressure, gallonage, or temperature changes. When there’s an issue identified, our plumbing professionals then use these readings to identify the source of the issue.

Is leak detection covered by insurance? 

Most homeowners insurance will cover water damage due to plumbing leaks. However, this may not include long-term issues that could have been resolved with proper maintenance.
