What is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak refers to a water leak that is happening in the pipes underneath the concrete slab of your home. This concrete supports the foundation, and as the water leaks away from that space, it may take the packed dirt and sediment with it. If the leak lasts for long enough undetected, it can cause structural issues with your house that are both dangerous and costly.

Common Causes of Slab Leaks

There are a handful of different reasons you may be experiencing a slab leak in your home. Here are a few of the most common:

• Older pipes that have begun to weaken and thin out.
• Vibrations that create friction with the rebar and pipes under the slab.
• A major weather event that causes sudden changes in the ground pressure.
• Corroded pipes caused by years of using chemical drain cleaners.

Signs to Watch For

You will eventually notice signs that there is a slab leak in your home. Regular plumbing inspections will help in the prevention department, but if you notice any of these telltale signs, it’s time to call your plumber.
