Slab Leak Repair
Your Trusted Ally in Slab Leak Repair
The silent menace of slab leaks can be massively distressing. These leaks, occurring in the water lines that run below the concrete foundation of your home, can go undetected until they’ve caused significant damage. Admiral Plumbing is your trusted ally, bringing years of expertise to the detection and repair of slab leaks, safeguarding the integrity of your home.
Understanding Slab Leaks
A slab leak repair is a plumbing industry term for a leak that has developed in the copper water lines running beneath the concrete foundation of a home. These leaks can be a source of continuous water loss, leading to higher utility bills, and if left unchecked, can cause severe structural damage to the property.
The Signs of a Slab Leak
Recognizing a slab leak early can save homeowners from costly repairs. Signs include the sound of running water when all water is turned off, a hot spot on the floor, cracks in walls or flooring, mildew or excessive moisture under carpets, and a sudden spike in your water bill. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to call in the experts at Admiral Plumbing immediately.
The Causes of Slab Leaks
Slab leaks can occur for various reasons. In our region, where the water supply can be hard, mineral buildup can lead to corrosion of pipes. Other causes include abrasion from pipes rubbing against concrete or gravel, pressure from shifting ground or a heavy overhead load, and improper installation or previous slab leak repair work.
The Role of High-Quality Materials
In the humid environment of a bathroom, the quality of materials can’t be compromised. Cheap parts may save money short term, but they often lead to more frequent failures and slab leak repairs.
Admiral Plumbing invests in high-quality materials that resist corrosion, withstand the test of time, and maintain their aesthetic appeal.
Our Approach to Detection
Admiral Plumbing employs the most advanced leak detection technology to accurately locate the source of the leak. We use specialized equipment such as acoustic detectors and infrared cameras to pinpoint the precise location of the leak without unnecessary disruption to your property.
Repairing the Leak
Once a slab leak is confirmed, there are several repair options available:
- Spot Repair: This involves opening the slab at the spot of the leak and repairing the piping. This option can be cost-effective if the leak is accessible and the rest of the piping is in good condition.
- Repipe or Reroute: If there are multiple leaks or the pipes are in poor condition, replacing or rerouting the entire line may be the best long-term solution.
- Epoxy Pipe Coating: Applied internally to the pipes, this is used for a system with a series of small leaks, coating the piping to seal the leaks from the inside.
Admiral Plumbing evaluates each situation to recommend the most effective and economical slab leak repair.
The Challenge of Repair
A slab leak repair is a complex process that can involve cutting into the concrete foundation. It requires precision to avoid further damage to the plumbing system or the home’s structure.
