What Is a Slab Leak? Most homes in Central Texas are built on a monolithic concrete slab foundation. Plumbing lines are buried beneath that slab before the concrete is poured. A slab leak occurs when one of those underground pipes cracks or corrodes, allowing water to escape beneath your floor.
How to Spot the Signs of a Slab Leak
Because the pipes are hidden under concrete, leaks can be tricky to detect. Watch for these common warning signs:
- Unexplained hissing or gurgling sounds
- Suddenly high water bills
- Wet or moist spots on floors
- Mold growth or musty odors
- Water seeping along the edge of the foundation
Common Dangers of Slab Leaks
Untreated slab leaks can undermine the soil under your foundation, leading to cracks in the slab, structural damage, mold growth, and costly floor/wall repairs. The longer you wait, the more expensive and disruptive the problem becomes.
