Common Warning Signs for Slab Leak

Leaky pipes can constitute a nuisance in homes and workplaces. Unfortunately, some slab leaks can go unnoticed for months or years. Some leaks can occur below the concrete foundations of properties, and they happen for several reasons. Regardless of the type of slab leak you are encountering, please contact us at Leak Detection of Atlanta for an efficient solution. The following are some of the slab leak signs you should watch out for;

Drop in the Water Pressure in Plumbing Fixtures

When the pipe located under the foundation has developed a leak it starts to waste fresh water slowly until the hole gets bigger and water gushes out. These leaks will eventually affect water pressure in the faucets.

Development of Warm Places on the Floor

If you notice some warm places suddenly appearing on flooring it may be as a result of a leak in the waterline. It is easier to detect warm places on carpet or linoleum flooring materials. It can be difficult to notice leaks on tile floors, they only become noticeable when water flows through the tile’s adhesives.

Raised Flooring

Raised flooring is a problem that occurs when the slab leaks have been ongoing for a long time without detection. If this problem becomes severe, then you may notice raised dome or warping on the floor.

Lifting of Foundation

Foundation lifting can occur when you don’t pay attention to a long-term slab leak. It occurs when there are swelling and lifting parts of the building. Oftentimes it is referred to as Heaving, and it can manifest as cracks in the slab and the interior or exterior of the interior of walls. This type of slab leak damage may become irreparable and you will need the help of a professional technician to handle it.

Sudden Increase in Water Bill

If you notice a sudden spike in your water bill alongside a spike in water usage, it means there is a water leak somewhere in your property.
