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 Tustin, California?
Old Pipes
Pipes can last a while, but they will not last forever. Older pipes are made from materials that are much more 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 seeing leaks in your property which could potentially cause major damage if left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home in Tustin then we would recommend repiping.
Worn Pipe Joints
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 weakest point of any piping system. As a welds age, it becomes weaker and often leaks within walls because every change in temperature affects them too much as well – so be sure you can identify these worn joint problems early on!
Quick Temperature Changes
The pipes in your home in Tustin are likely to expand and contract due to temperature changes, which can lead them wear down over time. At Elder and Young Plumbing we offer pressure tests for this reason so you know what potential problems lie ahead before they become serious ones. Give us a call today if you want one of our specialists do an inspection at your convenience!
Tree Root Intrusion
Rest assured that with the help of an expert plumber from Elder & Young, we’ll use our leak detection equipment to find and fix your plumbing problems quickly.
High Water Pressure
With the constant pressure from water, it’s no wonder that leaks can occur. When you turn on or off your faucet and hear a sound like air escaping through pipes in your plumbing system, this could be an indication of a leak somewhere in there. If these odd sounds are coming from toilets when they flush or while taking baths – then we may have to replace some worn-out joints inside those fixtures!
Foundation Shifting and Settling
The pipes in your house in Tustin 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.
Slab leaks are common in Tustin, California. Here are some of the most frequent symptoms.
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.
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.
Wet Spots Next to Walls
Water flows downhill. If you have a wet spot next to a wall that is next to a bathroom, it may be a sign of a leak in the bathroom or within the wall between the two rooms. However, if there is no bathroom next to a wet spot next to a wall, it’s likely that the water the result of a water leak that is coming from above and running down the wall and pooling at the floor. In these situations, it’s important to contact a plumber immediately to mitigate the damages that are being done. These situations if not taken care of early can lead to mold and other damage. A professional plumber will use the latest electronic leak detection equipment to detect the location of the leak so that it can be fixed quickly without tearing down walls or the ceiling to find it and fix it.
Wet Spots on Floor Around Sinks, Toilets and Tubs
If you notice a wet spot on the floor around a sink, toilet or tub, it may be nothing, or, it may be due to a water leak. Homeowners should regularly inspect the areas around sinks, toilets and tubs and look for wet spots or discoloration. If you notice don’t notice anything unusual, and the moisture persists, you could have a cracked toilet, or it could be something else. If nothing stands out, call a professional plumber for help. We’ll find the source of the water and solve the plumbing problem.
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.
