What Causes a Slab Leak?

There are typically two types of slab leaks:

  • Waterline leak: If a water line under your home breaks or becomes loose, it can start leaking water. Since it is down under your home and the foundation, you will not know about the problem right away. A hint that something is wrong is if your water bill spikes enormously.
  • Sewer line leak: If a sewer line becomes damaged, it can start to spill hazardous wastewater into the soil and foundation. Sewer line slab leaks are usually slower than a waterline slab leak. This is because it only leaks when you flush or wash wastewater away, but it is still a huge problem. If you smell foul odors around your home that can’t be explained, then it could be a slab leak.

Why do waterlines and sewer lines under your home break or start leaking? This varies from situation to situation, though. In some cases, old pipes can become corroded to the point that they leak water.

For homes on unstable land, a shift in the soil can snap the pipes under your slab foundation. Even a cold snap that affects Fort Worth could freeze the soil and the pipes in the ground. This causes them to burst as frozen water expands into ice.

Signs you might Have a Slab Leak

  • Wet spots - If you have a water leak in your home, it will eventually start to seep through the cracks in your foundation and cause puddles of water to form on your floor.
  • Cracks in the walls or ceiling - As water leaks from your pipes and seeps into the soil around your foundation, it can cause the soil to expand and put pressure on your foundation. This pressure can cause cracks to form in your walls or ceiling.
  • Warm spots on the floor - Water conducts heat better than air, so as water leaks from your pipes and seeps into the soil around your foundation, it can cause the soil to heat up. This heat will then be conducted into your home, causing warm spots on your floor.
  • Higher than normal water bills - All the wasted water will result in higher than normal water bills.
  • The sound of running water - A clear sign of a slab leak is when running water can be heard even when no fixtures are in use.

How Dangerous is a Slab Leak?

No matter what type of slab leak is under your home, it's a problem. Slab leaks of any sort can wreak havoc to your home and possibly put your family in danger.

Three of the worst consequences caused by a slab leak are:

  • Structural integrity loss: The foundation of your home is there to keep it steady and level. A slab leak will inundate the concrete slab to the point that it can erode it or make it porous. The weakened slab can start to crumble. This may cause your home to shake, tilt, or collapse in extreme circumstances. Slab leaks can also soak into the woodwork of your home. It will weaken the structural integrity by making the wood soft and flexible.
  • Water damage: A slab leak can cause water damage throughout the first floor. Water that soaks into the foundation can reach the carpeting and cause mold growth. It can warp wood flooring and warp walls, too.
  • Water utility issues: An unchecked slab leak will increase your monthly water bills. At a certain point, your local water utility company will likely shut your access to the water main off. This will be when they see you are using an exorbitant amount of water. Getting a slab leak repair from American Leak Detection of Fort Worth is a service that pays for itself. By preventing extreme water bills, you avoid losing access to municipal water sources.

Repairing a Slab Leak Correctly & Affordably

Wondering how to fix a slab leak yourself? It isn't an easy job, and the key to an effective slab leak repair is the knowledge and experience of the team you hire to handle the job. A rookie slab repair technician might try to tear up the entire first floor of your home to repair the slab leak.

Choosing our Fort Worth slab leak repair technicians will connect you with professionals. They know what they are doing, what to look for, and what to do to repair a slab leak with minimal disruption to your home.

WILL INSURANCE COVER A SLAB LEAK REPAIR?

Some jobs will require us to repair only the damaged section of your waterline or sewer line. Other projects may require more extensive repiping when the damage is also extensive. The goal is to plan for a repair that will last but that also gets you the service you need without tacked on upsells.

If you are worried about the cost of slab repairs, you should know that most homeowners’ insurance policies will help pay for the service. We would be happy to help you figure out if your insurance policy will apply for your slab leak repairs.

I finally have a little hope that my pool is salvageable. He has applaudable work ethics and tries his best to do a job worthwhile and complete. He has such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond. I wanted you to know what a wonderful employee he is and I thank you and I thank him!”

    "I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work."
    “I’ve been working with Henry since early December when I called ALD out to find a leak in my pier and beam house. Henry was able to find the leak and offer multiple options for repair after doing so. Shortly after his initial visit he was able to repair the leak and get me up and running through the holidays. Unfortunately due to the condition of my plumbing there was no guarantee another leak wouldn’t occur in the near future. My house is 90 years old and all of the cold water plumbing was original galvanized pipe from the 20’s. We decided to come back at a later date and replace the cold side from the service line to each of the fixtures. Below you will find examples of how Henry performed during the job. Quality of Work: Henry performed outstanding work which passed visual and hydrostatic testing with the city Self Motivation: Each day Henry and I discussed the scope of his project and laid out plans for what was to be done. I left him alone unsupervised throughout the job and there was never an issue with him dragging his feet or underperforming the daily tasks. Ingenuity: Henry was able to create logical solutions to several of the issues in and around re-plumbing my house. I challenged him to create an easier way to control the water from inside and outside of the house, offering several service solutions with minimal flow interruptions. Ultimately, Henry was able to build several utility manifolds allowing for independent operation of rooms and fixtures throughout the house. This solution added value to my property and future proofed several common plumbing issues found in other homes. Henry was able to tie into the original service line, minimizing downtime and allowing the project to come in 40% under budget. Ability to Work with Others: Each day Henry showed up with a helper and always go the most out of them while on property. I witnessed him treating each one of them fairly and successfully motivated them to work with him on his tasks. Honesty: Henry realizes the importance of forming long term relationships with his customers. He speaks frank about project goals and challenges and communicates the risk of potential solutions clearly. Henry’s ability to gain trust is his strongest quality, I believe ALD will benefit from the many relationships he forms while on the job now and in the future. I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work. Thanks for helping me out.”

    "Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed."
    “Dear Mr. Thompson, I am writing to inform you of the behavior of two of your technicians that come to my home to diagnose a leak. They were both incredibly courteous and professional and took their time to explain what they were doing. I have not had as great an experience with plumbers in the past as I had using the services these two provided. I was very impressed with their depth of knowledge not only with plumbing but also with ants! They found a massive ant colony behind the wall and helped guide us through how we could get rid of them until we could contact a pest service and even helped to clean up some of the mess with us. The only name I have is Mike Mendoza but he had a colleague with him who deserves the same pat on the back for a job well done. I hope Mike remembers who he rode with that day… would have been 12/20/15 approx. So often, people just call to complain about things so I felt that service as well rendered as these guys did needed a note to the boss-man. My hope is to have them back for the repair phase should this be approved for payment by American Home Shield. Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed. I hope that you have a way to commend them for putting a great face to your company. Strong work!!”

    "Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome."
    “Just wanted to pass on my thanks to both Mike Mendoza & Doyle. They were both very thorough on the first visit and Mike's second visit today to make the repairs and finish the testing needed. It's traumatic enough to go through foundation repairs to then be told you have a plumbing leak. I didn't trust the results received from the plumbing company contracted by the foundation repair company. That's why I called ALD. From the onset I felt comfortable and secure with what Mike was doing. He kept me informed every step during the process and gained my ultimate trust in everything he told me. He was able to isolate the issue right off the bat, where the other company just said the test failed. It's employees like Mike, that make me the consumer feel at ease with what needed to be done. Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome. Thank you for having such dedicated employees on your staff.”
