Slab Leak Repair

Slab Leak Repair in Reading, PA

What Causes Slab Leaks?

When one of the water lines below the concrete slab of your home or business develops a leak, a slab leak has formed.

Slab leaks are typically caused by a reaction between older copper pipes and the water running through them. Many homes made with slab construction, in which the home is built on a slab directly on the ground, have this older type of piping; as a result, slab leaks are a concern. Although copper piping is one of the most reliable plumbing materials, older pipes are susceptible to corrosion and the effects of time. Sometimes slab leaks can be caused from poor plumbing installations or from the piping coming into contact with the concrete or rebar below the home.

What are Signs You Have a Slab Leak?

Slab leaks have a number of very distinct signs that you can look out for.

A sudden increase in your water bill when there have been no changes in your water usage is a very typical indicator. If you do not have any leaky faucets, outside faucets leaking or running toilets, then it could very well be a leak in the piping below your slab.

Another sign of a slab leak is hearing running water even though all of the faucets are off. A prolonged slab leak can also form hot spots inside your property, as well as wet spots around the perimeter of your property. The hot spots are most noticeable on hard floors and in smaller rooms like laundry rooms. Small rooms can also become overly humid. This results from slab leaks in your hot water line. Moist spots around your property when there has been no rain are caused by the water from the leak needing to go somewhere after it has accumulated under your slab. It is eventually absorbed into the surrounding ground.
