When to Schedule Slab Leak Detection
Bearing this in mind, what is a slab leak, and is it something that you need to worry about? A slab is a concrete foundation and is commonly found underneath older homes. Sewer lines and water lines often run directly underneath the slab, and when those lines break down or experience problems such as corrosion, they can release water – or wastewater – beneath a home. This is something that can quickly lead to much more serious problems.
Slab leaks aren’t always easily identifiable either. There are a few signs of slab leaks you can watch out for to help identify possible issues. Some of these signs include water spots on your flooring, higher-than-usual water bills that have no other explanation, or cracks along your floor or ceiling. You may even notice foul odors or see puddles surrounding your home that can indicate a possible slab leak. However, the only way to know for certain whether you have a slab leak is by scheduling slab leak detection services.

Thorough Plumbing provided expert plumbing services in Plano, Texas. The team arrived to find water spots outside the front door and floors rippling across several rooms. Careful testing revealed leaks in the hot water line from the heater to various parts of the home. To fix the problem, they had to open multiple walls to reach copper manifolds. They rerouted the water line through the attic to ensure smooth flow to the kitchen sink and the Jack-and-Jill bathroom, also adding insulation for extra protection.

Dining room wall and floor was wet. Dryers and dehumidifier have been placed to dry out. With a walk around the home there are two possible issues causing the water damage. Sprinkler system is spraying on the walls in multiple areas and we adjusted away in the area in question. Also, someone has patched the wall at foundation level probably thinking the same thing. The other reason would be the new roof and the kick out flashing. With the amount of water we have been receiving, it has definitely been put to the test.

Excavation from back patio through the concrete. Exposed two water lines that are to close to drill without damaging the other. Rerouted both the 12 copper and 34 copper on the hot side where water was coming through the slab rather than under. The only way to make repair was to drill through the slab and bring up both lines into the bathroom wall and rebuild the manifold with cabinet access. Mill wrapped lines in slab and reconnected by brazing both lines with couplings. Installed new 14 shut off valves, supply lines, p-trap and put panel back the best we could. Also, finished with connecting the drain line with Sch40 PVC that had the beginning stages of roots.

Garage next to water heater located water coming up through slab by excavating and busting concrete. The feed line from water heater to manifold for master bath had galvanized pipe in the slab in between cold and hot side which had damaged pipes by electrolysis.
