Slab Leak Repair Gainesville, FL
WHAT IS A SLAB LEAK?
Many homes and businesses in Florida are built on a poured concrete slab where plumbing is run underneath the concrete. Since there is no crawl space for access, pipes are laid before the concrete is poured, below the slab. This can make leaky pipes under a slab difficult to diagnose.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SLAB LEAK
Here are the most common symptoms of a slab leak:
- You receive a higher-than-normal water bill for no obvious reason (like filling up a swimming pool the month before)
- You are experiencing low water pressure
- You can hear water running when or where it shouldn’t be
- You see the water meter moving when the water to the property is shut off
- You see a wet spot on the floor
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT A SLAB LEAK
First thing you need to do it to shut off the water going to your house. You may be tempted to do this yourself. However, if it is very hard to shut off, or is stuck, do not force it. You don’t want to accidentally break it. If you have an irrigation system, be sure to shut off the water supply to it as well. Once the water is off, check to see if the water meter is still moving. If it is, you have a leak somewhere.
If so, please give us a call. We can walk you through the symptoms and recommend the best solution.
