Unfortunately, there are quite a few reasons why a slab leak can happen, which means they are not 100% avoidable. Even if you are careful with your pipes, over time they can succumb to corrosion and leak. 

There are a few ways you help prevent future leaks. Be careful of drain cleaners. They can be very destructive to the inside of your pipes, causing leaks in the future. 

The pH of your water also plays a part, to high (hard water) or too low (soft water) can damage the inside of the pipes, leading to leaks. 

Water pressure is another thing to watch out for, if it is too high it is stressful on the pipes. Causing corrosion and leaks.
