Slab Leak Detection and Repair

What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a water pipe underneath your home’s concrete foundation breaks or deteriorates. Because these pipes are buried deep, slab leaks often go unnoticed until they cause visible damage, such as cracked foundations, warped flooring, or mold growth. Detecting and repairing these leaks early can save you thousands in costly repairs.

Signs of a Slab Leak

• Unexplained Increase in Water Bills
  A sudden spike in your water bill without an obvious reason can indicate a hidden leak beneath your home.

• Damp or Warm Spots on Floors
  If you notice damp areas or warm spots on your floor, it could be a sign that a hot water pipe has broken under the slab.

• Cracks in Walls or Foundation
  Over time, a slab leak can erode the foundation of your home, leading to cracks in walls, ceilings, and floors.

• Mold and Mildew Growth
  A slab leak can create excess moisture, leading to mold and mildew growth in your home. This not only damages your property but can also affect your health.

• Low Water Pressure
  Reduced water pressure throughout your home could be a sign that water is leaking under the slab, especially if it's accompanied by any of the other signs listed above.

Our Slab Leak Detection Process

At Capital Plumbing, Inc., we use state-of-the-art technology to accurately detect the location of a slab leak without unnecessary digging. Our non-invasive detection methods include:

• Electronic Leak Detection
  Using specialized equipment, we listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes beneath your slab. This helps us locate the exact position of the leak quickly and accurately.

• Infrared Cameras
  We use thermal imaging to detect temperature changes in your floors and walls, which can indicate the presence of a hot water slab leak.

• Pressure Testing
  By testing your water pressure, we can determine if there’s a leak in the plumbing system and pinpoint its location.

Slab Leak Repair Services

Once the slab leak is detected, our expert plumbers will assess the best repair option for your situation. We offer several repair methods to minimize damage to your property, including:

• Pipe Rerouting
  In some cases, it may be more effective to bypass the leaking pipe by rerouting the plumbing above ground. This method minimizes disruption and avoids further issues with the slab.

• Pipe Lining
  For certain types of leaks, we can apply an epoxy lining inside the damaged pipe to seal the leak without having to dig up your foundation.

• Spot Repair
  If the leak is isolated to one area, we can perform a spot repair by accessing the pipe through the slab, repairing or replacing the damaged section.
