Mr. Rooter Stops Slab Leaks in Lumberton

It may seem like the plumbing in your concrete foundation should be safe, but it’s still exposed to corrosive elements, a few of which include:

• Improperly wrapped pipes. Your pipes expand and contract with changes in temperature. Lumberton has some pretty extreme temperature changes. Hot water and summer heat cause expansion. A freeze makes everything contract. The slight motion over time causes the wrapping around your pipes to rub against the concrete. Small worn areas develop into leaks over time.

• Settling. If your home shifts even slightly, it places pressure on your pipes that can cause a leak.

• Damage from construction. If a construction worker damages a pipe while your home is being built, added on to, or remodeled, you might not notice right away. Over time a small leak turns into a big problem.

• Corrosion. Chemicals in the soil and in drinking water can corrode pipes over time. Weakened pipes eventually spring a leak.
