Irvine Slab Leak Detection Services

What Is a Slab Leak?

At Sage Plumbers, we know a slab leak is most commonly a leak in a pressurized water line beneath a home or building’s foundation. A slab leak becomes noticeable when water begins emerging from the structure’s foundation—most commonly where pipes penetrate the slab. Sometimes a slab leak can occur for an extended period without your knowledge. A slab leak can also happen due to a broken drain line under the slab. Since these leaks can quickly become expensive, taking swift action can prevent significant damage.

Common Causes of Slab Leaks

Most slab leaks are caused when copper water lines under the slab develop a pinhole leak that gets progressively worse. Property owners typically realize that something is amiss when they receive higher utility bills with similar water usage. Additional signs of a slab leak include water seeping through the floors, moisture on the walls, and hardwood floor buckling.
