Slab and Leak Repair
When you have a leaking pipe under your home it can cause a lot of damage if not cared for immediately. Normally a leak under your home is caused by a leaking water line or sewage line. We can go to your home, locate the reason behind your leak, and do the repair promptly.
You can discover whether you have a slab leak by finding the existence of moist spots on the floor. The second giveaway that you’ve got a slab leak is if you hear water flowing under your feet. Sewer lines could be a lot more difficult to notice.
Most sewer line leaks go undetected until there are apparent signs of groundwork damage. Normally when sewer lines leak for a while the slab itself will swell up. As a property owner you must keep on the search for any kind of dome or raised section on the floor of your house.
Other typical signs that you have a slab leak:
• When your water bill raises every month for no clear cause
• You can plainly observe cracks in your foundation
• Grass around your foundation develops inconsistently when compared with grass elsewhere in your yard
• You have warm places in your floor (normally from a leaky hot water line)
• In case you have wooden floors you might even see darkening in the wood
• You can smell a foul odor from the ground or the walls. This is usually coming from a drip in the sewer line.
Even the tiniest of leaks in your house can be quite catastrophic for your house.
