Types Of Plumbing Leaks
There are two main categories that cover all plumbing leaks in your home. The first are the overt leaks, the ones that you can easily detect. These leaks could be dripping faucets, running toilets, a drip from a pipe under your sink or even that trickle coming from the hose bib outside.

What Is A Slab Leak?
So how would you know there is a leak that you can’t see or hear? Well, you might have noticed an unexplainable increase in your water bill or a drop in your water pressure. There could even be a wet area outside the edge of your foundation. These tricky leaks are in the pipes that run under and then through your slab foundation to provide water to the various fixtures in your home. The leak can be a crack in a pipe due to the freeze and thaw of the soil or even shifting of the soil and your home’s foundation. But what is important is that they are located and repaired before doing a great deal of damage to your home.

Repairing A Slab Leak
In a perfect world, when a leak is located in a slab, our plumbers will be able to re-route the damaged line through your crawl space or attic. This eliminates the need to break through your flooring to expose the damaged pipe. The pipes are then inserted into the walls with minimal damage and reconnected to your fixtures. This will eliminate the worry about future slab leaks and is often much more affordable than spot repairing a section of already compromised piping.
If there is no attic or crawl space, the next choice is to dig a tunnel under your foundation to reach the leak and repair it. This does mean that there will be minor disturbance to your yard but only minimal disturbance inside your home, if any at all. The final option is to jackhammer through your foundation to access and repair the pipe. This is both costly and messy, but in some cases, it is the only option. To determine which option is best for you, your home, and your budget, give us a call to schedule an estimate today.
