Learn About Slab Leaks
As properties age, the ground underneath their foundations gradually shifts and gives way. This is especially true for foundations made from concrete. Such changes cause underground pipes located within the immediate vicinity of these structures to wear away, crack, or break, creating slab leaks. The usual indicators of this type of leak include the following:
· Warm or damp floors.
· Mildew or mold developing under carpets.
· Standing water pooling around your property.
· Unusually high water bill.
· Decreasing water pressure.
Homes that use copper pipes in their plumbing encounter these problems more often; however, slab leaks can develop in pipes made from any material. Unfortunately, they’re hard to detect, and by the time they’re discovered, they’ve already done significant property damage. Take a proactive approach to addressing this situation by contacting The Leak Detective Specialist, Inc. to schedule a comprehensive electronic leak detection appointment.
