A slab leak occurs when a water pipe beneath your home’s concrete foundation develops a leak. These leaks can be caused by corrosion, shifting soil, high water pressure, or poor pipe installation . If left untreated, slab leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly water bills.

What Are the Signs of a Slab Leak?

Signs of a slab leak include unexplained spikes in your water bill, warm spots on the floor, damp carpets, and the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use. You may also notice cracks in your walls or flooring due to the shifting foundation. If you suspect a slab leak, professional detection is crucial.

How Is a Slab Leak Detected?

Plumbers use advanced technology like electronic listening devices, infrared cameras, and pressure testing to locate slab leaks without unnecessary damage to your home. Video pipe inspections may also be used to check for pipe damage. These non-invasive methods pinpoint the leak’s exact location for targeted repairs.

How Serious Is a Slab Leak?

Slab leaks can cause major damage if not repaired promptly, leading to foundation instability, mold growth, and high water bills. Over time, water can erode the soil beneath your home, leading to structural issues. Addressing a slab leak early can prevent extensive and costly repairs.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks are commonly caused by pipe corrosion, shifting soil, excessive water pressure, or poor installation. Older homes with outdated plumbing materials, such as galvanized steel or copper, are more prone to slab leaks. Regular plumbing inspections can help detect early warning signs before a leak becomes severe.

Can a Slab Leak Affect My Home’s Foundation?

Yes, prolonged water exposure from a slab leak can weaken the foundation, leading to cracks, sinking, or uneven floors. If left untreated, this can result in serious structural damage that requires expensive repairs. Early detection and repair help protect your home’s stability.

How Much Does Slab Leak Detection Cost?

The cost of slab leak detection depends on the severity and location of the leak, as well as the equipment needed to find it. Non-invasive methods like electronic leak detection typically cost less than extensive excavation. A professional plumber can provide an estimate after assessing your home.

What Should I Do If I Suspect a Slab Leak?

If you notice signs of a slab leak, turn off your water supply and contact a professional plumber immediately. Avoid delaying repairs, as slab leaks can worsen over time and cause extensive damage. A prompt inspection can confirm the leak’s location and determine the best repair method.

I was having major electrical issues- lights dimming, appliances not working, etc. I called Roy’s and Mike Murphy assessed the situation, informed me what needed to be done and helped me with financing (especially helpful a week before Christmas!) Angelo & Joel repaired everything with consideration and respect, kept me informed of what they were doing at all times and they didn’t mind my little pain in the ass dog following them around. They ensured all of my appliances were working and checked the electric in each room, even labeling the breaker box. I will definitely call them again!

I had my hot water tank replaced, sump pump replaced, a water pressure backup sump pump added to my system and a whole home Halo Ion filter also added to reduce scaling. The entire scope was completed as previously described to me by the estimator Shawn Miller. Nick Orcutt and Mike Hehir were the technicians who completed the work. They were professional, courteous and clean. Some slight modifications had to be made to the piping runs that were discussed prior to making the changes. There were no leaks, no damage, all removed equipment was taken away, no mess to clean up. Floor covering was put down, even on the basement stairs. They put on and removed foot coverings every time they entered or left the house. No change to any of the pricing as originally quoted. I had the completed paperwork by email before they left. Perfect job by Roy’s!

Roy's Plumbing did an excellent job on my sump pump discharge and bubbler system. I had a lot of water so it made the job a muddy mess, but for the time of year, it is to be expected. My sump pump has already slowed down on running. I would recommend Roy's Plumbing for your plumbing and sump pump needs.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.
