Let Our Experts Find Your Slab Leak

Slab leak symptoms

• The sound of running water when all water is turned off
• A hot spot on the floor could indicate a hot water line leak
• If you observe cracks in walls or floors, it could be damage from a slab leak
• Mildew or excessive moisture under carpets could indicate your slab is cracked and the pipes are leaking water.
• High water bills could also indicate a slab leak. Although a high water bill could indicate a water leak behind the wall, or in your pool, plumbing under the slab is also suspect.

Finding your slab leak

Breaking into a slab or pool deck, without positive confirmation of a leak location, is unacceptable. Don't let anyone dismantle your property just to search for leaks. Finding a slab leak requires a thorough process with technical expertise.

Locating leaks non-destructively requires the use of modern tools such as electronic amplification equipment and electromagnetic pipeline locators. With the proper equipment, leaks can be found and repaired with minimal disruption to property. In many cases, only a single floor tile needs to be removed and replaced.

American Leak Detection's highly trained technicians use our own non-invasive leak detection equipment to accurately locate the leak to save time, money and avoid unnecessary property damage.

Slab leak repair options

Once the leak has been located under the slab, our leak specialist will provide repair options.

Slab leak repair options may include:

• Spot repair: open up the slab at the spot of the leak and repair leaking pipe. This option is cost effective for newer construction.
• Repipe or Reroute: replace the entire line that was leaking. This is most effective for older plumbing systems that have a history of leaking.
• In-place pipe coating: If the plumbing system has a series of small leaks that would be cost prohibitive or too inconvenient to dig up the slab, the in-place epoxy pipe coating is the best option.
