Top Signs You May Have a Slab Leak

Your home’s plumbing works tirelessly behind the scenes, often hidden under the concrete slab foundation.

While it’s great when everything runs smoothly, a slab leak can quietly wreak havoc on your home if left undetected.

Slab leaks occur when water lines beneath your home’s foundation develop cracks or breaks. Over time, they can lead to costly water damage, structural issues, and soaring utility bills.

At Amped Plumbing, we’re here to help you identify and fix slab leaks before they spiral into bigger problems.

Here are the top warning signs of a slab leak—and how we can assist you every step of the way:

1. Unusually High Water Bills Call For Slab Leak Repair

If you are seeing a sudden spike in your water bill without any major changes in your water usage, it could be an early sign of a slab leak. Since slab leaks allow water to flow continuously, even small leaks can cause a prominent increase in your water bill.

If your water bill is unusually high, it’s time to investigate the matter. Contact Amped Plumbing, and we’ll get to the bottom of the water leak with our leak detection expertise.

2. Slab Leaks Can Cause Reduced Water Pressure

Is your morning shower feeling less refreshing because of dropped water pressure? When a slab leak is present, water escapes the pipes before it reaches your taps, leaving you with low water pressure throughout your home.

Don’t let a slab leak rob you of your water pressure! Our team can diagnose potential slab leak and resolve the issue so your plumbing system works smoothly like it should.

3. Warm or Hot Spots on the Floor? It Can Be A Slab Leak

If you notice warm spots under your feet as you walk across your floor, it might not just be the sun warming the house. Hot water slab leaks can heat the area directly above them, making certain spots on your flooring warm or even hot to the touch.

Don’t ignore it—call Amped Plumbing. We’ll use advanced equipment to locate and repair the slab leak without unnecessary disturbance to your home.

4. Moldy or Musty Odors? Check For A Slab Leak.

Water collecting under your home or flooring due to a slab leak creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. You may notice a musty odor even if you can’t see visible mold yet.

Mold and mildew can negatively impact your health and your home. Let Amped Plumbing take care of the underlying leak so you can prevent further damage and restore fresh air to your home.

5. Sounds of Running Water

If you’ve turned off all your home plumbing systems’ faucets, appliances, and water sources but still hear water running, this could indicate a slab leak. The sound may come from your floors or walls, even with no visible water.

Call Amped Plumbing, and we will identify the leak using advanced technology, such as video inspections and thermal imaging, to guarantee precise and efficient repair.
