Key Warning Signs of a Slab Leak

Slab leaks occur in the water lines running below your home's concrete foundation, making them difficult to notice right away. However, they almost always produce subtle signs. Being able to recognize these indicators can help you catch the problem early and protect your property from significant harm.

  • A Sudden Spike in Your Water Bill: If your water usage habits have not changed but your bill increases sharply, an unseen leak is a likely culprit.
  • The Sound of Running Water: Hearing water when all faucets and appliances are off is a direct sign that a pipe is leaking somewhere in your system.
  • Hot Spots on the Floor: A warm or hot area on your floor often means a hot water line beneath the slab has broken and is releasing heat.
  • Visible Water Damage: Unexplained damp carpets, warped flooring, or mildew growth along baseboards can be caused by moisture seeping up from a slab leak.
  • Cracks in Walls or Foundation: Over time, the shifting soil caused by a slab leak can put stress on your home, leading to visible cracks.

Any of these symptoms should be taken seriously. Do not wait for the problem to worsen. An immediate professional inspection can confirm the issue and determine the least invasive way to address the leak before it causes more damage to your home’s structure.

Why Expert Slab Leak Repair Is Essential

A slab leak is not a typical plumbing problem. It requires specialized electronic equipment to locate the leak accurately without tearing up your entire floor. Attempting to find it without these tools can lead to extensive, unnecessary property damage and much higher restoration costs.

Professional plumbers have the training to assess the leak and recommend the best course of action. They can determine if a simple spot repair is sufficient or if rerouting a pipe is a better long-term solution, which is a judgment that comes only with experience.

An expert repair ensures the problem is fixed correctly and according to local building codes. This protects the structural integrity of your home’s foundation and gives you the assurance that the issue has been resolved completely, preventing future water damage and recurring problems.

FAQs About Slab Leaks in Newport

What exactly is a slab leak?

A slab leak is a leak in one of the copper or PEX water lines running below the concrete foundation of your home. Because they are located under the slab, they are hidden from view and require special equipment to locate accurately.

Can a slab leak cause foundation damage?

Yes. If left unaddressed, the water from a slab leak can saturate and erode the soil supporting your foundation. This can cause the slab to shift, heave, or crack, leading to significant and expensive structural problems for your home.

How do you find a leak under concrete?

We use non-invasive methods, including electronic amplification devices and electromagnetic pipeline locators. This technology allows our technicians to listen for the sound of escaping water and trace the path of the pipes to pinpoint the leak's location with extreme precision.

What are the options for repairing a slab leak?

Options can include a spot repair, which involves opening the slab at the leak's location to fix the pipe. Another common solution is to reroute the leaking pipe line, abandoning the old one. We will assess your situation and recommend the best option.
