Signs of Slab Leaks
Slab leaks can often be difficult to spot due to the fact that the pipes are in the walls and floors of your home. However there are still some warning signs.
- A higher than normal water bill
- Mold growing on walls or floor
- Water pooling near the foundation

Main Causes
Most of the main causes of slab leaks has to do with the pipes. If the pipes become old and begin to corrode, they can spring a leak. If the temperature in the ground changes, the water in the pipes can expand, causing it to rub on the rebar or concrete and begin to wear. If your home has experienced an earthquake, it’s also possible that the pipes shifted or cracked, causing a leak to form.
