Slab Leak Detection and Repair
The majority of homes in Southern Arizona are built with “slab construction.” What does that mean? Basically, they are built directly on a concrete foundation. So there is no way to get to the problem easily. When you have a leak, it can become a major head ache.
Slab leaks are difficult because the pipes are generally built directly under the foundation itself. If these unexposed pipes crack or break you’ve got a major issue that you can’t even see! There are, however, some ways to know:
- Puddles on the floor with no apparent source
- Damp carpet
- Mildew under carpets
- Rising utility bills (despite consistent usage)
- The sound of running water when the tap is off
- Hot spots on your floor
- Movement on your water meter without use
