What is a Slab Leak?

Your home, if it is like the vast majority of other homes in this country, is built on a large concrete foundation, called a slab. The slab is supposed to stabilize the home and prevent it from moving due to erosion or other earth movement. Underneath that slab are a number of pipes, notably your water line and your sewer line. These are both vital to the proper operation of your home’s plumbing systems. When one of those pipes springs a leak, the water from it filters up through the slab and into your home. This is called a slab leak.

Why Slab Leaks are Such a Threat

There are two components that combine to make slab leaks such a huge threat:

  • They are very difficult to detect: Slab leaks often aren’t noticed by homeowners until they see water inexplicably gushing up from under the floor. By then, of course, extensive damage has almost certainly been done to the home. Most other ways involve closely watching the water bill month–to–month, or watching the water meter with all plumbing appliances off to see if it’s still running. Most homeowners won’t do this.
  • They are difficult to repair.Once a slab leak is located, it’s quite difficult to repair without proper equipment. This is because of the leak’s location, which is buried under several feet of solid concrete. It used to be that they only way to repair slab leaks was to crack the slab open to get at the pipes underneath. This, as you might expect, caused quite a bit of additional damage.
