Is A Slab Leak Threatening The Foundation Of Your Home?

Are your water bills are alarmingly high?  Is there excessive water or mold under your carpet? Do you hear running water when all your water is turned off? Your may have a leak under your home's foundation. A leak occurs under a slab when a pipeline under your house's foundation or along the walls develops a steady leak.

The water that is running out of the broken pipe under your house's "slab" may cause severe damage to your home. A home with a slab leak is a structure that has the possibility of collapsing. Slab leaks are a plumbing nightmare because they can be expensive and time consuming to fix.  

Here are some causes of a slab leak under your home:
​

• Bad Pipes at the time of Construction: ​Sometimes when homes are built the pipes under the home are fitted inadequately from the beginning.  If the initial construction crew used cheap pipe fitters or inexpensive plumbing materials, then the possibility of the piping system breaking is higher with the ebb and flow of the water pressure through the years.

 

• Older Pipes: If your residence was built more than ten years ago, then there is a high chance that soil, sand, or gravel can rust the pipes and rusty pipes can burst easily.

 

• Strong or Abnormal Water Pressure: Piping is often made of copper. Small pipes that are made of copper can raise the water pressure and the pipe will just burst open.
