House Slab Water Leak Repair

A slab leak is one of the most serious plumbing problems a property can face. Because these leaks occur under the concrete foundation of your home, they can go unnoticed until they cause major damage. At Melde Plumbing, we specialize in identifying and repairing slab leaks quickly and effectively. Our goal is to stop water loss, protect your foundation, and restore your plumbing system with as little disruption as possible.

Common Signs of a Slab Leak

Early detection is the key to minimizing damage from a slab leak. The most common warning signs include warm spots on the floor, unexplained increases in your water bill, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. You might also notice damp flooring, mold growth, or cracks forming in walls or floors. If water begins pooling around the foundation or your floors feel uneven, it is important to call for professional inspection right away.

What Causes a Slab Leak

Slab leaks can develop for several reasons. Corrosion is one of the most common causes, especially in older homes with copper piping. Over time, pipes can weaken due to constant pressure and water chemistry. Shifting soil, poor installation, or high water pressure can also stress pipes until they crack or break. Even small vibrations from nearby construction or ground movement can accelerate the process. Once the pipe is damaged, water begins seeping into the foundation and surrounding materials, which can lead to significant structural issues if left untreated.

How We Detect Slab Leaks

At Melde Plumbing, we use advanced diagnostic tools to locate slab leaks accurately without unnecessary demolition. Our technicians rely on electronic leak detection, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. This approach allows us to isolate the leak efficiently, saving you time and reducing repair costs. Once we identify the location, we can determine the best repair method based on the condition of your pipes and the extent of the damage.

Slab Leak Repair Options

There are several ways to repair a slab leak, and our team helps you choose the one that best fits your situation. In some cases, we can perform a spot repair by accessing and replacing the damaged pipe section through a small opening in the floor. If the pipe system shows signs of widespread corrosion or age, rerouting new lines above the slab may be a better long-term solution. For more extensive leaks, repiping the affected area can prevent future failures and improve water flow. Whatever the approach, we ensure that the repair is durable and the surrounding structure is left clean and stable.

Protecting Your Home

A slab leak should never be ignored. The sooner you address it, the less damage it can cause to your foundation and flooring. Melde Plumbing provides expert inspection and repair services designed to resolve slab leaks quickly and correctly.
