Short answer: A slab leak is a leak in a water line running under a concrete foundation. Common signs are a sudden high water bill, a warm spot on the floor or the sound of running water. Leak Seekers locates slab leaks precisely, so repairs don't require breaking up large sections of floor.
Signs of a slab leak
- A sudden, unexplained jump in your water bill
- Your meter keeps moving with all water turned off
- Warm or hot spots on tile or concrete floors
- The sound of running water under the floor
- Damp carpet, warped wood flooring or new cracks in tile
How we find slab leaks
Our equipment can locate a leak even when it's under the concrete slab of your home or business. Depending on the situation, that can include acoustic listening equipment that hears water escaping a pressurized line, thermal imaging that shows temperature changes caused by moisture, moisture meters, line tracing to map where pipes run, and pressure testing to isolate which line is losing water.
We mark the location on the floor so your plumber knows exactly where to access the line.
What happens next
Once the leak is pinpointed, your plumber can decide on the best repair for your situation. Because the location is precise, any access hole in the floor stays as small as possible.
