Signs of a Slab Leak

Slab leaks are sneaky. Most of the time, they start with subtle signs that are easy to ignore. You might notice a warm spot on the floor that never goes away, or hear water running even when everything is turned off. Your water bill might spike for no reason, or you might spot cracks forming in your foundation or flooring.

If you have carpet or laminate flooring, you may even feel soft spots or see discoloration. In homes with tile or concrete floors, unexplained moisture or mildew smells can also point to a leak. The sooner you catch it, the less damage it can do.

Causes of a Slab Leak

Slab leaks typically happen when water pipes buried beneath your concrete foundation wear out, crack, or burst. This can be caused by several things, including poor installation, old or corroded pipes, shifting soil, or even minor earthquakes that stress the lines over time.

In many homes, hot water lines are more likely to leak than cold. That’s because the heat causes expansion and contraction, which slowly wears away at the pipe or its joints. Over time, even a small weakness can turn into a full break.

How We Track Down a Slab Leak

At Go With The Flo Plumbing, we use non-invasive tools and techniques to locate the source of a slab leak before digging or cutting into anything. We start by inspecting your plumbing system, checking for pressure loss, and using acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the problem. We also use thermal imaging and moisture meters when needed to confirm what’s happening under the surface.

This process allows us to find the leak without tearing up your whole floor. It’s faster, more accurate, and helps us get right to the point when it’s time to fix the issue.

Your Slab Leak Repair Options

Once we find the leak, we walk you through the options. In some cases, we can make a localized repair by opening a small section of the slab and fixing the pipe directly. This works well for newer homes or when the damage is limited to one spot.

For older systems or homes with multiple leaks, we may recommend rerouting the pipe entirely. This means we’ll abandon the damaged section under the slab and run new lines through walls or ceilings instead. It’s often a more reliable fix and helps prevent future problems in the same area.

We take care to minimize the mess, protect your flooring, and leave your home in good shape when we’re done. No surprises. No pressure. Just honest advice and skilled work that solves the problem at its source.

If you suspect a slab leak, don’t wait. Water under your foundation can do serious damage to your structure and your budget. We’re here to find it fast and fix it right the first time.
