Hard water and leaks can become serious issues, especially when they occur in the pipes underneath a home’s slab, or foundation. If you’re experiencing unusually high water bills or have noticed damp spots on your flooring, you might be dealing with a slab leak.
Our expert plumbers provide precise diagnosis and efficient solutions to these hidden plumbing issues. Contact Fayette for professional slab leak repair services in Lexington and Elsmere, Kentucky, and surrounding areas.
Understanding a Slab Leak
A slab leak is a water leak in the pipes beneath a building’s concrete foundation. These leaks can occur due to various reasons, such as pipe corrosion, shifting soil, or poor installation. Since the leak is located under the slab, it often goes unnoticed until significant damage has occurred, which makes it extremely important to address the problem immediately.
Detecting a Slab Leak
Identifying a slab leak early on can save you from even more damage and costly repairs. Here are some common signs you might have a slab leak:
- Unusually High Water Bills
- Damp Spots or Puddles
- Low Water Pressure
- Warm Spots on Floors
- Cracks in Flooring and Walls
