How can you tell if you have a slab leak?
These are the 5 most notable symptoms of a water leak in or around your slab:
- A noticeable increase in your water bill
- Water meter moves after water is turned off
- The sound of running water when no taps are on
- Warm or cold spots on your flooring
- Low water pressure
How common are slab leaks?
It depends where you live. In most parts of America, slab leaks occur about once every 30 years. Dallas homes average one slab leak roughly every 15 years.
How do you locate a water leak under your slab?
The 2 best ways to locate a water leak under your concrete slab are acoustic leak detection and video camera inspection.
Acoustic detection uses sound to identify leak location. A camera inspection is needed if hydrostatic testing fails, or if acoustic detection is inconclusive.
How long does it take to fix a slab leak?
Most simple slab leaks are fixed in 2-3 days. If your specific leak requires pulling a city permit, add an extra day to your project timeline.
If you’re rerouting your pipe, plan an extra day for drywall repairs. (Note: Drywall repairs are not included in the cost of plumbing work.)
Are slab leaks covered by homeowner’s insurance?
Homeowner's insurance companies don't love to cover leaks in or near your home's foundation. If you want your slab leak repair covered, you need to follow a precise set of steps to improve your odds of coverage.
Follow these 4 steps in order to increase the chances your slab leak is covered by insurance:
- Immediately contact your insurance provider in the event of a freshwater leak.
- Hire a master plumber for 2 key tests: water pressure testing and hydrostatic testing.
- Consult a structural engineer before and after plumbing repairs.
- File all necessary paperwork to your homeowner’s insurance.
Why do I hear water running in my walls?
The sound of water running in your walls (even when all taps are off) indicates a leak in your plumbing system. Ensure all faucets are turned off, then check your toilets for tank leaks. If all toilets are clear, check your water meter's flow rate. Your plumber uses this measurement to determine the type and source of your leak.
What are warning signs of a hot water pipe leak?
Here are 6 warning signs of a hot water leak:
- Warm spots on floor.
- Mold and mildew on the floor or walls.
- Cracks in slab foundation or walls.
- Musty odors in floor or walls.
- Ceiling stains.
- Mold or mildew.
What is acoustic leak detection?
Acoustic leak detection is used to detect leaks in pressurized systems like your home’s main water line. When water escapes from your pipes through a leak, it emits specific acoustic signals.
We use highly-sensitive microphones to pick up these sound waves, detect the source of your leak and pinpoint its precise location.
