Signs That You Have a Slab Leak
Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate a slab leak from a few other common plumbing problems, making diagnosis tricky. However, Universal Plumbing, Heating, and Air looks for the following symptoms to determine the nature of foundation leaks.
- Running water sounds - Water is supposed to travel silently through underground pipes. Hearing the running water when not running a faucet is a sign of a leak.
- Wet spots or damp areas on your floor - You may notice darker spots, or small puddles depending on the size and type of slab leak
- Water bill increases - Spikes in water bills commonly indicate a leak somewhere in the building but do not determine the source
- Mold or mildew sightings - When dampness persists for more than a few days, it creates a ripe breeding ground for microbes
- Cracks in the foundation - Cracks or buckling may appear outside of your home or on interior floors.
