Locating and resolving slab leaks can be a daunting task. These leaks arise when hidden pipes beneath your home's foundation or basement floor develop leaks. Detecting slab leaks may not always be straightforward, but here are some telltale signs to keep an eye out for:
- The sound of running water, even when faucets and toilets are not in use.
- Wet carpeting, flooring, or concrete.
- Damp or moldy drywall on the lower floor.
- A musty odor emanating from the basement.
- Surprisingly high water bills.
- Visible damage to your foundation.
Should you suspect a slab leak, it's absolutely essential to promptly enlist the help of professionals who specialize in water leak detection and repair. Delaying repairs could lead to significant water damage and, in some cases, even compromise the structural integrity of your home's foundation.
A skilled plumber can quickly identify the leak, make the smallest possible opening in your foundation, carry out the necessary repairs, and restore your slab to its original state.
Our Cutting-Edge Plumbing Leak Detection Techniques
To pinpoint water leaks concealed within soil, walls, or concrete slabs, we utilize a range of tools and advanced technology. Here are three commonly employed leak detection methods:
- Acoustic Listening Equipment: By amplifying the sound of water leaks inside walls or under concrete slabs, this technology enables plumbers to estimate the leak's location without resorting to unnecessary digging or drilling.
- Video Inspection Equipment: Our plumbers employ small cameras to examine the interior of pipes. By measuring the length of cable inserted into the pipe before locating the trouble spot, we can accurately diagnose pipeline issues and identify the source of the leak.
- Soil Probes: These devices assist our plumbers in detecting pressurized water escaping into the soil surrounding water mains or sewer lines. This minimizes disruption to your yard while enabling us to locate and repair the leaky pipe.
