Call Climate Control Service Experts for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in Mobile

Are you struggling with a leaking concrete slab at your home? A slab leak is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to detect and remedy. This kind of seepage can be a nightmare for homeowners. Fortunately, the industry leaders at Climate Control Service Experts 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. Such leaks are difficult to repair because in order for the damage to be reached, it requires that a professional break through the concrete slab to reach the pipe.

Symptoms

When you have a leak that’s hidden deep beneath solid stone at your residence, it can be hard to find. So how do you know when there’s a slab leak? Check your home for the following signs of a slab leak:

  • High water bills: If you are experiencing higher water bills, without increasing your usage, it’s much more likely there’s a leak somewhere. The damage has time to spread when it’s hidden inside a wall, so 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: A slab leak can slowly but consistently seep up through the concrete floor, creating the perfect environment for 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.

An easy way to confirm if water is escaping into 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 you can go outside and check the meter. If the needle is still moving, you’re most likely dealing with a leak, and you should call a professional for emergency maintenance.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

Once we’ve found the source of your leak, there are several repair options we might use. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of the leak itself:

  1. With newer construction, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete directly above the damage and patching up the pipe.
  2. Sometimes with old systems, or a system with a steady stream of problems, it is more cost effective to replace the pipes altogether instead of making repairs.
  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.
