Slab Leaks
Slab Leaks
In Bay Area Plumbing and Services we are Specialists in the Detection and Repair of Slab Leaks, a critical but common problem that occurs when a leaking pipe is located beneath the concrete foundation of a home or business. Timely action is essential to avoid severe structural damage and significant long-term expenses.
What does this service consist of?
Slab leaks occur when a water line, usually copper, located beneath the concrete floor (slab), begins to leak. These leaks are often invisible to the naked eye, but they can cause:
- Constant loss of water.
- Humidity in floors.
- Cracks in the concrete.
- Soil swelling or bad odors.
Our service is designed to accurately detect the location of the leak and repair the problem with minimal damage to your property.
Needs that this service solves
These leaks are difficult to detect without specialized equipment and, if not treated promptly, can lead to major problems such as:
- Structural damage to the foundation.
- Mold and mildew under the soil.
- Economic losses due to increased water bills.
- Deterioration of floors, carpets or coverings.
Slab leak repair service solves these problems and prevents long-term consequences.
