The Challenge: Why Howell Homes Are at Risk
Homeowners in Howell and throughout Monmouth County face unique challenges. Many homes in the area sit on shifting soils, and our New Jersey climate, with its heavy spring rains and freeze-thaw cycles, puts extra stress on underground water lines. These local factors, combined with aging pipes in older neighborhoods, increase the risk of hidden slab leaks that can compromise your home's foundation if left unaddressed.
Common Signs of a Hidden Slab Leak
Detecting leaks early helps you avoid major repairs. Call for a professional inspection if you notice:
- An unexplained spike in your water bill.
- The sound of running water when all faucets are off.
- New cracks appearing in your walls, tile, or flooring.
- Persistent wet spots or unexplained moisture on your floors.
- A musty odor or visible mold or mildew indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does slab leak detection take?
Most appointments take a few hours, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the plumbing. We work efficiently to provide accurate answers with minimal impact on your day.
Will you have to break my concrete slab to find the leak?
No. Our non-invasive technology, such as acoustic sensors and thermal imaging, allows us to find the leak's exact location without any destructive digging or damage to your floors.
How accurate is your detection process?
Our technology and trained technicians allow us to pinpoint the location of leaks with high accuracy. This reduces unnecessary damage and makes planning for the actual repair easier and more cost-effective.
Can a small slab leak really damage my foundation?
Yes, absolutely. Over time, even a small, persistent leak can saturate and erode the soil supporting your foundation. This can cause the slab to shift or crack, leading to significant structural damage to your home.
What should I expect during a leak detection visit?
Our technician will first listen to your concerns. Then, they will perform a thorough assessment using specialized equipment to test your plumbing and scan your floors. We will provide a clear summary of our findings, an upfront cost estimate, and discuss the best next steps.
If you suspect a foundation leak, don’t wait for the problem to get worse.

“From beginning to end, Gerard was very professional and described everything he was doing and why. Found a leak in our water line in our front yard which; while this may sound strange, was a relief because our plumber was leaning more toward the problem being under our cement slab, a much more costly proposition! Gerard was on time, courteous, and you felt confident that this guy knew his stuff! Honestly, I'd recommend ALD to anyone needing to check for leaks in water lines, pools, sewer lines, you name it! Once again, thanks ALD and thanks, Gerard for doing such a great job! - Joe and Jane”- Joe G.
