How Are Atlanta Residents Locating Slab And Water Leaks

Over time, pipes fall victim to rust, corrosion, age and weather. Corrosion occurs when acids found in water produce pits in the pipes, which eventually causes pinhole size leaks.  

These pinhole leaks can be devastating to your home or business. Causing damage to the structure, floors, yard, landscaping and even health issues, such as allergies, respiratory even headaches.

If you suspect a slab leak under your home or business, look for the warning signs:

If you notice a warm spot on the flooring it may be coming from a leak in the hot water line. If you have linoleum or carpet this may be easy to detect. Tile floors are not as easy, they are not usually noticed until the water flows between the adhesive and the tiles.

Raised Flooring 

If the water leak has gone on for a long time and is severe you may detect warping or a raised 'dome' in the flooring. 

Foundation Lifting 

If a leak has continued for a significant time under your home's foundation it can swell and even lift the building, this is called heaving. The damage can manifest as cracks in the slab as well as in the exterior and interior walls.  The damage can sometimes be irreparable and needs the attention of a professional who knows what to look for.
