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. Our expert Irvine & Costa Mesa slab leak detection services will provide you with a reliable technician who can diagnose the problem and provide a solution.
A small slab leak can result in massive loss of property. The Irvine plumbers at Sage Plumbers have the tools to identify a slab leak and provide efficient repair. Call (949) 536-7471 for more information.
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.
Contributing factors to a slab leak include:
- The age of the pipes
- The hard mineral content of your water
- Chemicals used to purify and treat our water to make it safe to drink
- The thickness of the copper used by the builder
- The level of impurities present in the copper pipes.
- The settling of the structure over time causes tension or pressure on the pipes
