Slab Leak Detection: No Need to Tear Up Your Slab Floor or Pool Deck

Leaks can happen under a slab floor or deck, making you think the worst in finding and repairing it. You may be thinking the only way to find and repair such a leak is to tear up the slab. This is not the case, however. A knowledgeable, experienced plumber can find and repair the leak without causing damage to the slab.

If all the water is turned off but you hear what sounds like running water, you could have a slab leak. Other things that could indicate such a leak may include a spot that feels warmer or cooler than it should, cracks in the floor, pool deck or walls, mildew or damp feeling carpets. Check your water bill, too. If it is higher than it should be, you could have a leak.

To verify such a leak and get an estimate on repair options and cost, contact a plumbing company that has slab leak detection and repair experience. A professional with expertise in this kind of work will know how to find any problems and determine how extensive they are using the most modern tools and instruments. Once this is established, he will be able to give you repair options and a cost estimate.

Repairs will be done in the least destructive manner possible. Sometimes, a spot repair that involves opening the slab in the specific area of the leak to repair the pipe may be the best option. Other cases, such as in older homes or buildings, replacing or rerouting the pipeline might be recommended. For a series of small leaks, normal repair options may not be feasible so epoxy pipe coating may be the recommendation.
