Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Atlanta

The concrete foundation of your home is referred to as the slab. This slab comes into contact with many of the major pipes that service your home.

Fortunately, when it comes to identifying and resolving any issues with your slab, you can rely on our experienced plumbing company in Atlanta, R.S. Andrews.

What is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak, i.e., a leak that develops in the pipes beneath your foundation, can be one of the most devasting plumbing problems to face as a homeowner. Left unattended, this can dramatically damage your foundation, eroding the ground beneath your home — severe slab leaks have even been known to cause sinkholes. In contrast, a minor one can still cause various issues ranging from mold and pests to expensive water damage.

Fortunately, the team at R.S. Andrews has the detection tools necessary to rapidly identify, locate, and repair your slab leak with as little disruption and mess as possible.

When Does a Slab Leak Get Bad?

An undiscovered slab leak can put the entire foundation of your home at risk. Not only does the undiscovered leak cause cracks in the foundation, but it also causes:

• Leaks in your home that result in ruined floors and even mold
• Damage to the foundation and surrounding land

When materials stay constantly wet, decay takes hold and spreads quickly. In the case of mold, not only your home but your family’s health is at stake.

In order to have the best chance of avoiding emergency plumbing services, it is better to find out if there are slab leaks before they cause disasters for your home’s plumbing system. In the past, leak detection services would have only been possible by noticing things caused by a it such as:

• Suddenly larger water bills
• Damp rugs
• The constant sound of running water with no visual evidence
• Constant wet soil around the foundation of your home

In essence, problems were not readily observable until a contractor was needed to come in and fix a large problem. Today, however, there are new methods for detecting these slab leaks in the early stages.
