Water leaks from pipes, fittings and plumbing fixtures are a significant source of wasted water for many households in Dixon, CA. However, slab leaks are often the most difficult types of leaks to deal with. They’re often hard to detect because they occur when the plumbing under your floor or home’s foundation develops a leak. This is a dangerous type of leak because if it’s left unrepaired, it can cause serious property damage. Fortunately, Hall’s Plumbing specializes in slab leak detection and repair services.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

  • Pressure: One of the leading causes of slab leaks is when there’s a large amount of pressure placed on the pipes beneath your foundation. The pressure may come from sources such as a poor construction job or shifting of soil caused by the home’s foundation moving slightly.
  • Corrosion: Since pipes are typically located underground, they’re naturally bound to come into contact with soil, which can cause them to corrode over time. This is common with copper pipes.
  • Abrasion: Pipes will sometimes rattle as they expand and contract when water flows through them. If the outside of the pipe is exposed to gravel, concrete or other pipes they could start rubbing against them and eventually wear down.
  • Poorly installed or pre-damaged piping system: When building a home, some materials may get banged up, but if the pipes experience damage, you’re likely to have a few problems in the long run. Moreover, if the pipes are poorly installed from the start, chances are they won’t function properly.

How Bad Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak can cause significant damage to your entire building. It can result in a weakened foundation, ruined flooring, mold growth, odd odors and a damaged yard. The most serious of these are a damaged foundation and ruined flooring. Both of these issues develop when the water sits for an extended period.

  • Unusually low water pressure
  • Unusual warm or damp spots on your floors.
  • Sudden spikes in your water bill
  • The sound of running water when you aren’t using any fixtures
  • Moldy smell/mold problems
  • Cracks in your walls or baseboards
  • Moisture or mildew under carpeting
  • Standing water around the perimeter of your house
