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.

What are the common causes of slab leaks in Ontario, California?

Quick Temperature Changes

It’s important to keep your plumbing system in good working order. As the temperature changes, pipes can expand and contract over time causing joints and connections to wear down. Elder & Young offers pressure testing services so we can help you find any leaks early on before they become a serious problem for you home in Ontario or business- give us a call now!

High Water Pressure

It is important to never underestimate the amount of pressure that your pipes are under. Your plumbing system works nonstop for hours at a time, as water flows through it every day in small doses; but when you’re taking a shower or have all of your faucets on and open wide like an elephant’s trunk, whoa! The continuous flow can wear down joints which may lead to leaks into our homes’ ceilings or walls. This issue could be fixed by investing in new copper piping with better quality plumbers union fittings than those we’ve been using since our grandparents were born–or if you don’t want to go quite so high-tech yet still need some TLC from someone qualified, we’re available to help.

Foundation Shifting and Settling

The pipes in your house in Ontario may be 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.

Tree Root Intrusion

If you notice any new wet patches in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, or if trees are growing near to the house then there could be an intrusion from those pesky root systems! Rest assured with the help of our expert plumbers at Elder & Young. We’ll use leak detection equipment and fix up that plumbing problem quickly for you.

Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes

Corrosion can cause both leaks and clogs. It’s important to take care of any corrosion on your pipes, as it may indicate that you need to have them looked at by a professional plumber right away! If the problem appears more severe than it is, consider replacing high risk factors- like ones made from cast iron – because these will only get worse over time and require significant repairs later if left unattended.

Old Pipes

Pipes last decades, but they won’t last forever. The Original pipes are made from materials that are much more likely to corrosion such as iron and over time the pipe weakens and begins breaking down until eventually it breaks entirely due to rusting or other damage related issues – this is when you start seeing leaks in your property which may potentially cause major problems for homes in Ontarioif left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home then we would recommend repiping with newer pipes before any serious difficulties arise.

What are the frequent signs of slab leaks in Ontario, California?

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.

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.

The Water Meter Runs When Nothing is Turned On

One of the easiest things a homeowner can do to understand if they have a water leak or not is to use the water meter as a measuring device. If all of your appliances and fixtures are turned off, including your water heater, and your water meter continues to run, it’s a tell tale sign that you have a leak. This is also the most important time to call a plumber and schedule a service call so that the plumber can perform a leak detection service and find the source of the leak.

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.

Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew love damp and wet areas, especially when there’s not a lot of light or air movement. A lot of leaks happen behind a wall, under the floor or in the ceiling where they go unnoticed for quite a long time. And these places are the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you notice mold or mildew growing on a non-shower wall in your house, this could be a telltale sign of a water leak. Turn off your water and call a plumber immediately to schedule a leak detection service.
