Do You Have a Slab Leak?

Water Bill – If you suddenly realize that your water bill is skyrocketing, you will almost always find that you have a leak somewhere. This is often one of the first things that people will realize before they discover that they have some kind of leak.

Water Meter – If you think you have a leak and want to find out for sure, there is a way you can do that on your own. Take a look at your water meter and write down the number that you see it is on. Make sure everything in your home is turned off. That means don’t flush any toilets or do any laundry; we usually recommend leaving the house for a few hours to avoid any of this. When you come back to your home a few hours later, you will then go to your water meter and see if the number has increased. If it has, you have a leak somewhere.

Noise – If you keep hearing the noise of running water and cannot pinpoint where it is coming from, it could be because it is coming from under your slab. If you lay on your floor and can hear water underneath it, call a plumber right away. You should never be able to hear water under your floor.

Hot Floor – Have you noticed that certain parts of your floor have been hotter than others? This means that water is leaking in that specific spot and is why you are feeling the heat on the floor. If you start seeing your floor lifting up or warping in any way, that could be from water damage that is coming up from under your home or business.

How To Prevent a Slab Leak

Slab Leaks Can Cause Damage To Your Home.

You can prevent a slab leak by getting gutters on your home. This will allow water to get placed away from your home and will not cause the ground to get too wet. If the ground is constantly too wet from rainwater, it can cause your foundation to shift and damage the plumbing underneath the home. You can also make sure that your water pressure is not too high. Over time this can cause damage to your underground pipes and stir up a leak somewhere that you may not know about.
