What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is when a pipe or drain line starts to leak inside a concrete slab on your Tumwater property, usually your foundation. What happens is that more often than not pipes are laid in your foundation when the house is built. If done correctly and with the right materials, the system should work properly for many years. However, if the pipes were laid improperly or not well maintained over the years, they can develop problems that lead to leaks.
Corrosion of pipes, swelling due to high water pressure, or blockages due to scale buildup can all have a negative effect on the pipe and eventually lead to a leak. Because the leak occurs in the concrete, the water can do a tremendous amount of damage to your foundation and the walls of your home’s basement. Even non–foundational slab leaks, such as those in a driveway or concrete balcony, can be very destructive.
Repairing a Slab Leak
The first step in repairing a slab leak is to determine its root cause. You will likely notice only small symptoms of a leak at first – things like higher water meter readings, increased dampness in your basement or water pooling outside. Cracks might also form in concrete floors where they weren’t before. While we do not currently offer slab leak detection at this time, we can certainly repair the leak after its discovery!
If caught quickly and fixed properly, a slab leak is nothing more than a major inconvenience, but it is important to ensure it is properly handled. For this reason and for all your Olympia, WA slab leak concerns, call Brooks Plumbing.
