We’re San Diego’s Preferred Plumber For Slab Leak Repairs & Reroutes

Here in San Diego, we experience earthquakes and aftershock from time to time, and this shifting in the ground below the foundation of our homes and businesses can put a lot of pressure on the concrete slab itself. The problem is, when the slab shifts or moves, it can cause the water supply pipe running underneath your home to crack or leak — which means water waste, water damage, and health hazards. These slab leaks can also occur as the result of house settling or natural shifts in the ground beneath the home or business.

Identifying Slab Leaks

Do you have a slab leak? The sooner you identify and address the problem, the better! Water damage can be costly and devastating, especially if major damage is done before the problem is located.

Here are some signs of a possible slab leak:

  • Mold in your basement (especially under carpeted floors)
  • Pooling water on your floors
  • Hot spots on your floors
  • Decreased water pressure
  • Pooling and puddles outside of your home
  • Cracks in your flooring
  • Increased water bills
  • Water sounds (like hissing) even when you’re not using any fixtures
  • Buckled/cupping laminate/hardwood floors
  • Cracks in your lower walls/trim
  • “Sticky” interior doors
  • Musty or damp smells

You can also test for a slab leak by turning off all faucets and watching the water meter needle closely. If the red needle is still moving, there’s a good chance you have a slab leak.
