Call Wesley Wood Service Experts for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in West Chester

Do you have a slab leak in 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. Thankfully, the industry leaders at Wesley Wood Service Experts can spare you the headache.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures underneath the concrete foundation of your home, driveway or pool deck. This type of leak is 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, they can be very difficult to detect. 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, you’re probably dealing with a leak somewhere. While the damage may also have occurred inside a wall, 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 providing protection for your Clearwater, St. Petersburg or Tampa home. Without this support, the building’s weight can cause it to sag, forming cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Mold damage under your carpet: The outflowing water can seep up through the concrete floor, creating the perfect environment for mold and mildew to spread.
  • 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 running a water meter test. You’ll want to shut off every faucet and make sure no appliances are still using water, then go out to your meter and have a look. If the needle is still moving, there’s almost certainly a leak, and you’ll want to reach out to local Expert plumbers.

Using their extensive training, our experienced technicians strive to keep the entrance hole as small as possible, sometimes even minimizing the disruption of property to a single floor tile. This helps you save on the cost of labor and repairs.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

After we have located the source of the leak, there are several repair options we might use. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of the damage:

  1. With newer construction, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete directly above the damage and fixing the pipe.
  2. If dealing with an older plumbing system, or a system with a history of problems, it’s probably best for the technician to repipe the entire line rather than attempt a repair.
  3. If there are multiple leaks throughout the water line, 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 immediate.

Thanks to 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.
