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. If it sounds like a slab leak, we can recommend a quality leak detection service that uses specialized equipment to quickly pinpoint and mark the location of the leak. Once located, we will get the job completed with as little disruption to your property as possible. If there are multiple leaks and it looks like you’ll need to repipe the system, we give free repiping estimates.

We specialize in slab leak repair. All work is performed up to or higher than city or county code requirements. And we are proud to say we have won the Angie’s List Super Service Award for the past 5 years because of our attention to customer’s needs.

Partnering with Experts for Slab Leak Solutions

Leak Detection

If you suspect a slab leak, the first step is proper detection. Your leak will need to be detected by another company before we can repair it for you. Finding the exact source of the leak under your foundation is not a DIY project—it requires advanced tools and a trained eye. At J.W. Freeman Plumbing, we believe in doing the job right the first time. That’s why we partner with the most trusted specialists in the area when it comes to leak detection.

For years, we’ve worked closely with Sleuth Leak Detection, a company known across Gainesville and Alachua County for their precision and professionalism. Their team uses cutting-edge acoustic and thermal technology to pinpoint the leak location without unnecessary damage to your home. We’ve found their process to be the most reliable, saving homeowners time, stress, and money by locating the problem quickly and accurately. Need to find a leak?

Water & Mold Remediation

Once a slab leak is detected and repaired, the next concern is the water damage it may have caused. Moisture trapped under flooring or inside walls can lead to mold growth, structural issues, and air quality problems. To fully restore your home and protect your family’s health, professional water and mold remediation is essential.

When it comes to cleanup and restoration, we always recommend Dreyer’s DKI. They’re a locally respected company with a reputation for fast, thorough, and compassionate service. Whether it’s drying out your floors, repairing damaged drywall, or eliminating mold, Dreyer’s DKI works efficiently to get your home back to normal.

What the Process Looks Like

What People Are Saying

Cheryl Rowsey

“I highly recommend JW Freeman Plumbing for any type of repairs. In the time of a plumbing emergency they were accommodating, fair and honest. When calling other companies everyone wanted to do after hours. When in need of service in future I’ll be calling them first. It was a pleasure doing business.”

John Mclnarnay

“They repaired a leak in my wall due to galvanized pipes that were not replaced when the house was originally remodeled. Their prices are good and the interaction with all of their employees has been outstanding. I also used them to figure out why I was losing water pressure in my shower. Came out that day and fixed the problem. I will continue to use them for all my future plumbing needs.”

Kelly Shiohira

“Everyone told me these guys are the best and now after two calls to them I have joined the ranks! They are so professional from start to finish. They answer the phone, call back when they say they will, make appointments a reasonable time out, and give efficient service. Cherry on top they didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t absolutely need – even though both my toilets are celebrating their 50ths in the next year or two they got them patched up and working perfectly again for us. 100% would recommend.”

Eric Poirier

“The plumber arrived on time. I have an older home and the plumbing configuration is not up to today’s standards. They ended up sending a three person crew (including the owner) to take care of it. I was only charged for the one person and they stayed late to get it completely fixed in addition to taking care of the other minor tasks.”
