Do I Have a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a pipe leak under the concrete foundation of your home. Signs include unexpected wet or warm flooring, an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or reduced water pressure. Professional leak detection is needed to confirm and locate it.
What to Do Right Now
Wet or warm spots on flooring, unexplained water usage or a higher water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, or reduced water pressure.
What Not to Do
When to Call a Professional
Call a plumber if your water meter moves when nothing is running, if you have persistent warm or wet flooring, or if your water bill has increased without explanation. A plumber with leak detection equipment can confirm whether the leak is under the slab and locate it before any concrete is opened.
