Under Slab Leak Repair

Safeguarding your foundation with precision under slab leak repair solutions.

Why is My Foundation Leaking?

Slab leaks happen when pipes under or encased in your concrete foundation begin to wear down and drain wastewater. Builders typically run any important plumbing or electrical pipelines inside your foundation to protect them from external damage. Your under slab pipes can deteriorate and leak for a few reasons. A big one is how the soil below your home shifts over time. Age is a big factor in this, as well as the durability of your pipes to begin with. Other factors include:

  • Drainage Line/PVC Pipes leaking.
  • Old cast iron lines rusting through.
  • Galvanized steel piping that’s not properly insulated.
  • Water leaking through the foundation from the outside.
  • Acidic soil causing rust and corrosion on plumbing pipes.
  • High pH value of your home’s water.
  • General wear, tear, and age.

How Do I Know if My Foundation is Leaking?

An unattended slab leak will devastate the structure and foundation of your home. Leaking water will ruin your concrete, flooring, carpet, and tile. This gets expensive quick and boosts the cost it will take to replace everything damaged by the leak (not to mention the high water bill you’ll get at the end of the month).

Moisture and mildew that creep into your home will harm your interior and need to be repaired. Yes, this can also happen from a slab leak. This is all bad news for the structure of your home, your bank account, and your quality of life.

  • Moisture on floors or under carpet, which includes standing water inside of your home.
  • Cracks in baseboards, trim, or walls.
  • Backed up plumbing (sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers).
  • Standing water around the perimeter of your home
  • Moldy smell in your home, caused by a build-up of moisture and mildew.
