A slab leak — a leak in a water line running under a concrete foundation — is one of the harder plumbing problems to notice early, because there’s no visible pipe to inspect. Often the first sign is a warm patch on the floor, a mysterious rise in the water bill, or the sound of running water when everything’s off.
Left alone, a slab leak can undermine the soil beneath the foundation over time, which is a far more expensive problem than the leak itself. Water finding its way up through the slab can also damage flooring from underneath.
A local plumbing professional typically uses acoustic listening equipment or a thermal camera to pinpoint the leak’s location without breaking up the entire slab, then discusses repair options — which can range from a targeted slab penetration to rerouting the line entirely.
