A slab leak is a leaking pipe underneath or within a concrete floor. This slab-on-grade construction is the norm in San Diego county.<\/p>\n

If you see a sudden jump in your water bill, there\u2019s a good chance you have a water leak somewhere. But that could be from a leaky faucet, toilet, or water heater, or even an in-wall water pipe leak, requiring the usual home leak repair.<\/p>\n

Determining if you need a slab leak repair is often a process of elimination. But if there\u2019s something obvious like a wet area on the floor or outdoors, or the sound of running water beneath the floor, you should call an experienced plumbing specialist like ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing, well,\u00a0As Soon As Possible<\/strong>. If not you may well face carpet damage and even highly expensive floor and structural damage.<\/p>\n

The problem isn\u2019t always within the building itself. You may need a water main leak repair between your home and the water utility at the street; the slab would be your driveway.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the possibility of a sewer line leak. These are likely to go undetected for a very long time, until there\u2019s visible damage or a \u201cdistinctive\u201d odor.<\/p>\n

If you suspect you need slab leak repair, it pays to call an experienced professional like ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing, rather than someone who might just start pick-axing concrete until they happen upon the leak.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ASAP starts by identifying and locating the leak. This takes a well-trained and experienced eye, and most often specialized equipment. In addition to visual inspection there are several other techniques. One is much like diagnosing drain clogs, and involves sending a camera down the piping to look for the leak from the inside. Another time-tested method is called an acoustic survey. Here the pipe is drained and filled with compressed air. Special equipment then listens for the hiss of escaping air.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Under-the-slab water leak repairs are pretty much the same as fixing any piping leak\u2026 once you get through the concrete. So the common practice is to break through the slab, dig around the pipe, fix the leak, backfill, and finally patch the slab. That\u2019s every bit as expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive as it sounds. So there are a couple of alternatives to breaking into the slab, depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s more economical to re-route, bypassing all the pipes that are under the slab. That\u2019s frequently the best choice if the existing plumbing is an older pipe that\u2019s likely to develop another problem sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
