Does My Property Have a Slab or Foundation Leak?

Many common plumbing issues are easy for most people to identify, like clogged pipes and leaky faucets. If your property has a slab or foundation leak, that might be a little harder to notice. As a rule, if you notice any of the following issues, it’s a good idea to have a specialized plumber like Accurate Leak and Line assess your foundation for leaks.

  • Slow drains

  • Sewer stoppages

  • High water bill

  • Doors and windows that stick

  • Warm spots on the floor

  • Flooring that buckles

  • Cracks on interior and exterior walls

  • Aging plumbing systems

  • Foundation movement

Signs of Slab Leaks

Slab leaks are often caused when land movement causes the slab to shift. The stress caused by land movement can lead to pipes breaking or snapping, as well as leaky drain lines. When your pipe system, water lines, or sewer lines begin to leak, the leak seeps into the slab foundation and causes it to degrade.

When left unaddressed, slab leaks aren’t just costly to repair; they may cause irreparable damage to your property and health risks from contamination of your water supply.

If your home or commercial property is experiencing a slab leak, you may notice the following:

  • Hot spots on the floor

  • Water coming out of the slab or ground

  • Backups and stoppages in the toilets, tubs, or showers

  • Foundation movement or cracking

  • Unexplained odors

Building Foundation Issues FAQ

In many locations, like our home state of Texas, unstable soil conditions are the primary cause of foundation problems. If your area has clay, sand, or silt soil, land movement may cause it to shift. In turn, that causes stress on the fresh water and drain line systems. This stress can separate pipes, cause them to snap, or create leaks that can unsettle the foundation.

Root intrusion can also cause unnecessary stress to your underground plumbing. When we arrive for our diagnostic appointment, we will look for root growth and clear it away as necessary.

Put simply, your foundation is key to the structural integrity of your home or commercial property. When the foundation is harmed, your entire property is at risk. If foundation issues are left untreated, it may cause irreversible damage to your home or commercial property’s infrastructure. This almost always leads to costly repairs.

Beyond the immense cost of foundation restoration, you may experience health risks from foundation issues. When sewers break or drain pipes leak, it can cause contamination that may make you, your family, your employees, or your neighbors sick.
