Slab leaks are a common plumbing issue that can cause significant damage if not addressed promptly. As a homeowner, it's important to understand what slab leaks are, how to detect them, and what steps to take if you suspect you have a slab leak. At Dutton Plumbing, Inc., we specialize in slab leak detection and repair, and we're here to help you navigate this potentially costly and disruptive problem.
A slab leak occurs when a pipe underneath the concrete foundation of your home begins to leak. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including poor installation, corrosion, or shifts in the foundation. Because these leaks are hidden beneath the slab, they can be difficult to detect and often go unnoticed until they cause visible damage to your home. Common signs of a slab leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on your floor, or the sound of running water when no faucets are turned on.
If you suspect you have a slab leak, it's important to act quickly to prevent further damage. Contacting a professional plumber like Dutton Plumbing, Inc. is the best course of action. Our experienced technicians have the tools and expertise to locate the source of the leak and recommend the most effective repair solution.
One common method of repairing a slab leak is by rerouting the affected pipe. This involves creating a new path for the water to flow, bypassing the damaged section of pipe. In some cases, it may be necessary to tunnel under the slab to access the leak, which can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. However, our team at Dutton Plumbing, Inc. is equipped to handle even the most complex slab leak repairs with minimal disruption to your home.
In addition to repairing the leak itself, our technicians will also assess the extent of the damage and recommend any necessary repairs to your home's foundation or flooring. By addressing both the leak and its effects, we can help you avoid future issues and ensure the long-term integrity of your home.
