Signs You Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks happen beneath your foundation, making them invisible to the naked eye. However, your property will usually give you clues before the damage gets out of hand. If you know what to look for, you can catch these issues early and save yourself from major structural headaches. 

Keep in mind that many warning signs of slab leaks can also point to other types of hidden leaks, but any kind of leak should be addressed by a professional plumber as soon as possible. We can use advanced video inspection technology to get to the bottom of what is wrong.

Contact our team at Copperhead Plumbing & Heating to schedule a plumbing inspection if you spot any of the following problems:

• Warm spots on the floor. If a hot water line breaks, heat transfers directly through the concrete. You might notice a specific warm patch on your carpet, tile, or laminate that feels strangely hot to the touch.
• Unexplained spikes in water bills. Hidden leaks, including slab leaks, will typically lead to a sudden and unexpected jump in your utility bill despite no major changes in daily usage. Water is likely running continuously somewhere in your plumbing system.
• The sound of running water. Similarly, you shouldn’t hear running water when all of your faucets and fixtures are turned off. If you do hear running water noises beneath the floor or behind a wall, you are likely dealing with a hidden leak.
• Damp or buckling floors. A leak underneath your slab can cause random damp spots on your carpet, warping and cupping wood floorboards, and wet rings on the concrete in your basement or garage.
• Low water pressure. When water escapes into the ground through a slab leak, less of it reaches your fixtures. You may encounter a significant drop in flow when you turn on a sink or shower.
• Persistent musty smells. If you notice a damp, earthy smell that you just can't locate or scrub away, moisture is likely trapped under your floor or behind a wall. 
• Cracks in walls or baseboards. Leaking water erodes the soil that supports your foundation, causing your property to settle. This movement often pulls baseboards away from the floor or creates stress cracks in your walls.
