What is a Slab Leak?

The term “slab leak” is used by plumbing professionals and insurance companies to describe water leaks that are underneath concrete floor or slab of your home. They are often difficult to notice. The can sometimes be repaired by cutting a small hole in the floor to access the pipe below to then repair the portion of pipe that is leaking. Depending on the condition of the pipes and the materials used, a repipe is sometimes recommended.

Why do slab leaks happen in Brea, California?

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree Root Intrusion lead to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing

Most of the time, water leaks originate outside your home. For example, tree roots from near trees could be intruding on pipes and seeping out moisture in wet patches into your yard – which means you need an expert plumber to find a leak quickly with their detection equipment. Trees can cause problems for plumbing systems due to root intrusion!

Foundation Shifting and Settling

Foundation Shifting and Settling leads to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

The pipes in your house in Brea are more fragile than you might think. One of the reasons is that they have to move with what’s happening around them, and if there’s a problem elsewhere like erosion or an earthquake then the whole foundation can shift which will make everything go out of whack including anything connected to it such as water pressure changes and color issues.One reason why this may happen is because many times when people hear “foundation” they automatically assume buildings – but really our home foundations could be just about anywhere: under cement slabs, below backyards where landscaping takes place; even within basements themselves! So whatever happens above ground level has potential consequences for underground systems too.

Worn Pipe Joints

Elder & Young - Water Leak Detection Services

Curved pipe joints link straight sections together to direct water throughout your home, and they are especially vulnerable to pressure from the high-pressure water or extreme temperatures in your plumbing system over time. These connection points are the weak point of any piping system as welds wear down with age making it easier for them to break under stress. In order for plumbers to be able light fix a problem early on it is important that you identify when these weaknesses show up so that we can take care of things before there’s an issue!

Quick Temperature Changes

Whether it’s Brea, California or anywhere else, the use of your plumbing system can take a toll on its joints and connections. The changes in temperature will cause your pipes to expand and contract over time–over many years this could wear down any connection points that are made from metal fittings. If you would like an expert plumber to come out for a pressure test because you want peace-of-mind about leaks before they become serious problems, give Elder and Young Plumbing Services at call now!

High Water Pressure

High Water Pressure leads to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Many people don’t take enough time to think about water pressure. For some, the high-pressure stream from a shower is simply too satisfying for words; however, this force can be damaging your plumbing system if it’s not regulated properly. This excess of power will constantly press against the walls in your pipes and joints within them – which are often one of the main reasons these leaks occur. If you hear gurgling or rushing sounds when flushing, turning off/on taps or toilets, then there might just need to be adjustments made on how much pressure is being emitted into those systems so they stay intact over long periods of time without bursting!

Old Pipes

Old Pipes Lead to Leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Pipes can last for decades, however they will not last forever. Older pipes are made from materials that can be prone to corrosion, such as iron. When corrosion occurs, the pipe breaks down until eventually it breaks entirely due to rusting or other damage related issues – this is when you start recognizing leaks in your property which could cause major damage if left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home in Brea then we would recommend upgrading them with newer pipes.

Slab leaks are common in Brea, California. Here are some of the most common signs.

A Musty Odor or Smell

Do you smell mildew or a musty odor?  Over time, a consistent leak will provide the humidity necessary for mold to grow.  You may even notice black splotches on the wall outside which is a sign that mold has grown inside the wall.  If you see this, or you smell a musty odor on a regular basis, it’s time to call a plumbing professional immediately.

Low Water Pressure

If you’ve noticed a decrease in water pressure that doesn’t seem normal, or you simply have low water pressure, this may be an indication of a water leak either with the water main or the pipes in your home. The severity of the leak may vary from a slight leak to a rupture. If your water pressure seems low and you suspect a leak, it’s a good time to call a professional plumber who has the proper leak detection equipment who can locate a leak and solve your plumbing problems quick.

Water in the Street

It is important to know the signs of a leaking main water line. When there’s nowhere for the overflow from your pipe to go, it will often seep up right in front of your home at the street! If you notice bubbling water on the street then they should contact a professional plumber immediately before any more damage can be done.

Sudden Cracks in the Foundation, Low Spots in Pavement and Potholes

When water seeps into the foundation of your house, that’s when things get really serious! Not only will we have to worry about cracks in our walls and ceilings but also structural components like the beams supporting floors above us. This is where leaking water can become dangerous: not just surface level damage but now actual structural problems as well! You never want an issue this big sitting around without being addressed. If you notice cracks in the foundation, contact a plumber right away so that they can inspect the property for leaks using the latest leak detection equipment.

Puddles Inside or Outside Your Home

If you have water accumulating or puddling inside or outside your home, whether it be in a walkway, or on a floor, it could be an indicator of a water leak in the pipes. While some problems are easier to diagnose and detect, the leaks inside walls and underground are more challenging and special leak detection equipment may be necessary. If you suspect a leak that you can’t see, call us to schedule a service call immediately.
