Call Stevenson Service Experts for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in Dayton

Are you struggling with a leaking concrete slab at your home? A slab leak is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to detect and remedy. This kind of seepage can be a nightmare for homeowners. Thankfully, the industry leaders at Stevenson Service Experts can help limit the stress.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures below the concrete foundation of your home, driveway or pool deck. This type of leak is difficult to repair because in order for the damage to be reached, it requires that a professional break through the concrete slab to locate the broken pipe.

Symptoms

When you have a leak that’s hidden deep beneath solid stone at your residence, you may not notice at first. So how can you tell? Check your home for the following signs of a slab leak:

  • Suddenly higher water bills: If you are experiencing higher water bills, without increasing your usage, it’s much more likely there’s a leak somewhere. The damage has time to spread when it’s hidden inside a wall, so it is important that you have a professional immediately perform an assessment.
  • Dripping or splashing sounds: Do you hear running or dripping water in your home, when all water sources are turned off?
  • Cracks in walls or flooring: A slab leak can slowly wash away the earth that supports the foundation of your Clearwater, St. Petersburg or Tampa home. Without this support, the building’s weight can cause it to sag, leading to cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Mildew underneath the carpet: Leaks often seep up through the concrete floor, spurring mold and mildew to spread.
  • Hot spot: A possible indication of a hot water leak beneath your residence is a hot spot on the floor of your house.

One of the easier ways to find out if there’s a leak in or below your home is by observing the water meter. Simply turn off all faucets and make sure no appliances are still using water, then go out to your meter and have a look. If the needle is still moving, you’re most likely dealing with a leak, and you should call a professional for emergency maintenance.

Why Choose Stevenson Service Experts?

A sudden slab leak can be disastrous. This is why it’s imperative to choose a professional. Not only can they offer you outstanding customer service and superior quality repairs, but they can support it with years of dependable service and clear customer satisfaction.

You shouldn’t let someone damage the property as they look for the source of a leak; breaking into the concrete without first pinpointing the location of the damage is never acceptable. At Stevenson Service Experts, we can find the precise location of the burst pipe by using state-of-the-art thermal imaging and electromagnetic pipeline locators.

Using their extensive training, our team of repair technicians strive to keep the entrance hole as small as possible, sometimes even minimizing the disruption of property to a single floor tile. This helps you save on the cost of labor and repairs.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

Once we’ve found the source of your leak, there are several repair options we might use. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of the damage:

  1. With the newest homes, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete directly above the damage and repairing or replacing the pipe.
  2. With older plumbing, or a system with a steady stream of problems, it is more cost effective for the technician to repipe the entire line rather than attempt a repair.
  3. When you’re dealing with multiple leaks, it is sometimes possible for us to apply an epoxy coating to the inside of the pipe to seal the damaged areas, rather than breaking multiple holes in the floor for direct.

By keeping our prices at a flat rate, there are no hidden costs, and any additional expenses will be discussed with you so there are never any surprises. We also offer one-hour emergency service during normal business hours when scheduling permits.
