Slab Leak Detection Bradenton, FL

Slab Leak Location Service

For most people, homeownership is the single largest investment they’ll ever make. That’s why it can be devastating to learn something substantial is wrong with your house. Water damage from a leak is one such example of an issue that is often costly and complicated to fix.

A slab leak is a technical term for a leak that occurs in the water lines that run beneath your house. Slab leaks are insidious because they can go on for years without your knowledge, and can compromise the structural integrity of your Bradenton, FL home’s foundation.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

Many homeowners aren’t aware of this, but your home’s plumbing pipes run through the foundation. Homebuilders use this installation method because it’s the most inexpensive and efficient way to get running water into your home.

Slab leaks are often the result of factors such as corrosion, weakened pipes, seismic shifts, ruptured pipes, and incorrect installation. Because your home settles into its foundation over time, your chances of developing a slab leak will increase correspondingly with the age of your Bradenton house.

How Can I Tell If I Have Developed a Slab Leak?

It can be tricky to tell if your Bradenton home has a slab leak because these leaks are far underground beneath a heavy piece of concrete. However, there are some signs you can watch for.

1. Standing Water

Puddles of water inside or outside your home are one of the most obvious red flags of a slab leak. If you put off dealing with the leak, these puddles will continue to grow larger. Other types of leaks can cause pooling water as well, so you’ll want to rule out any other possibilities before concluding that you have a slab leak.

2. Warm Floors

If you notice certain parts of your floor are warmer than others, you could have a slab leak. The hot water leaking from the underground pipes warms up the concrete, leading to hot patches.

3. Low Water Pressure

If you are struggling with low water pressure in your home, you might have a slab leak on your hands. Even a small leak can cause a significant pressure drop. The sooner you take care of it, the better.

4. Cracking Floors

Cracks in your floors are a severe symptom of a slab leak, often a gradual one that has remained under the radar for years. These incremental leaks sneak up on you until they cause this kind of major damage. If you have cracks in your floors, you will need to contact a professional immediately.

5. Sky-High Bills

If you notice a higher-than-average monthly water bill, but your household’s water use has stayed the same, a slab leak could be to blame. Your heating bill might also increase because your water heater must work harder to heat the leaking water coming through your home. Higher bills are often one of the first signs of a water leak, so you can think of them as an early warning system that you should contact someone to check on it for you.
