Call Longmont Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in Longmont

Do you have a slab leak in your home? A slab leak is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to detect and remedy. Attempting to access the broken pipe can be a nightmare for homeowners. Fortunately, the industry leaders at Longmont Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can save you from the headache and worry.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures underneath the concrete foundation of your home, driveway or pool deck. This type of leak is difficult to repair because in order for the damage to be reached, it requires that a professional break through the concrete slab to find the affected pipe.

Symptoms

When you have a leak that’s hidden deep beneath solid stone at your residence, they can be very difficult to detect. So how can you tell? Check your home for the following signs of a slab leak:

  • Suddenly higher water bills: If you are experiencing higher water bills, without increasing your usage, it’s much more likely there’s a leak somewhere. While the damage may also have occurred inside a wall, it is important that you have a professional immediately perform an assessment.
  • Dripping or splashing sounds: Do you hear running or dripping water in your home, when all water sources are turned off?
  • Cracks in walls or flooring: A slab leak can slowly wash away the earth that supports the foundation of your Clearwater, St. Petersburg or Tampa home. As structural support weakens, the building’s weight can cause it to sag, forming cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Unexplained mold or mildew: Leaks often seep up through the concrete floor, spurring mold growth.
  • Hot spot: A possible indication of a hot water leak beneath your residence is a hot spot on the floor of your house.

One of the easier ways to find out if there’s a leak in or below your home is by utilizing the meter test. You’ll turn off every faucet and ensure there are no appliances using water, then head outside to watch the meter. If the needle is still moving, there is a definite leak, and it’s time to contact the professionals.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

After we have located the source of the leak, there are several repair options we might use. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of any damage:

  1. In new construction homes, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete directly above the damage and fixing the pipe.
  2. With older plumbing, or a system with a history of problems, it’s likely more cost efficient for the technician to repipe the entire line rather than attempt a repair.
  3. If several slab leaks are found across the water lines, it is sometimes possible for us to apply an epoxy coating to the inside of the pipe to seal the damaged areas, rather than breaking multiple holes in the floor for direct.

With our flat-rate pricing, there are no hidden costs, and any additional expenses will be discussed with you so there are never any surprises. We also offer one-hour emergency service during normal business hours when scheduling permits.
