Expert Slab Leak Detection in Redlands, CA
A slab leak occurs when water or sewer pipes beneath your home's concrete foundation crack or corrode, allowing water to seep out. Redlands Plumbing Services uses advanced non-invasive technology to locate slab leaks accurately in Redlands homes before recommending the best repair approach.
Signs You May Need Slab Leak Detection
- Hot spots on your floor
- Sound of running water with no fixtures on
- Unexplained spike in water bills
- Cracks in walls or flooring
- Damp carpet or flooring in specific areas
- Foundation heaving or settling
- Mold or mildew smell near the floor
If you notice any of these signs, it is best to call a licensed plumber sooner rather than later to prevent the problem from worsening.
What Causes These Issues
Pipes under your slab are subject to soil pressure, ground movement, and water chemistry. In Redlands, expansive clay soils shift with moisture changes, putting stress on buried pipes. Hard water corrodes copper pipes from the inside, creating pinhole leaks. Poor installation, slab settling, and nearby tree root activity also contribute to sub-slab pipe failures.
How We Handle Slab Leak Detection
