What Causes a Slab Leak?

Slab leaks occur when the pipes in your foundation become corroded. Burst pipes can also cause these leaks. When slab leaks occur, it’s because the pipes in your foundation have pinhole leaks. These leaks are caused by corrosion, which typically happens when your home settles on its foundation.

Signs of a Freshwater Slab Leak

The age of your Plano home is a big risk factor when it comes to slab leaks, and they’re more likely to occur if your home is 20 years old or older, because these properties are more settled into their foundation. However, they can happen to anyone! Here are some signs to watch for if you think you may have a slab leak:

  • Damp or moldy carpet
  • Sound of running water
  • Low water pressure
  • Unexplained spike in water bills
  • Warped wood flooring
  • Cracks in walls near the floor
  • Water pooling near the house foundation

You may have a hot water slab leak if your water heater is constantly running, or if areas of the floor feel hot.

How We Repair Freshwater Leaks

If the slab leak detection process reveals there is a freshwater or hot water leak, our experts are here to help! We understand this can be a stressful situation, and we will do our best to provide the slab leak repair service in the least disruptive way possible based on the location and the type of slab leak.

There are three ways to fix freshwater leaks, including:

  1. Tunnel under the home to where the leak is and spot repair on the pipe.
  2. Jackhammer through the slab and dig up the pipe in the house. Then spot-repair the pipe.
  3. The least invasive way to fix a freshwater leak doesn’t include tunnels or jackhammers. We will remove the line that’s leaking under the slab, cap it in the wall, and replace new piping to fixtures that the old pipe was servicing. We will replace the pipes with PEX piping because these are better than copper pipes. PEX is more flexible and easier to install.
