Signs of a Slab Leak

• Check all the flooring in your home. If you notice carpeting that is discolored, smells like mildew or mold or is wet, then you might have a leak in your slab foundation.
• Water pressure is usually affected by a leak anywhere in your plumbing system. It is possible if you have a problem with lowered water pressure that you have a leak in your slab.
• If you have a water bill that is higher than usual, then it is essential to inspect your home yourself for leaks or signs of leaking around and inside your home.
• You may hear a water leak before you ever see the damage of a slab leak.

Reasons for a Leak in Your Slab Foundation

• A leak in your foundation may be because of old pipes. If you live in an older home that is on a slab foundation, it may just be time to replace the plumbing.
• Roots can grow under your foundation and get to your plumbing through the foundation. Tree roots tend to grow reasonably slow, but they can do much damage to plumbing and homes.
• There is a leak because of a clog in your pipes. If you have a clog in your sewer line or secondary pipes, then one of them can leak if it is a sever clog.
