Call Levy & Son Service Experts for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in Dallas

Are you dealing with a slab leak at your home? A slab leak is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to detect and remedy. Trying to fix things on their own can be a nightmare for homeowners. Thankfully, the industry leaders at Levy & Son Service Experts can spare you the headache.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures underneath the concrete foundation of your home, driveway or pool deck. These leaks are difficult to repair because in order for the damage to be reached, it requires that a professional break through the concrete slab to locate the broken pipe.

Symptoms

When you have a leak that’s hidden deep beneath solid stone at your residence, you may not notice at first. So how can you tell? Check your home for the following signs of a slab leak:

  • High water bills: When your water bill goes up despite not increasing your usage, you’re probably dealing with a leak somewhere. While the damage may also have occurred inside a wall, it is important that you have a professional immediately perform an assessment.
  • Dripping or splashing sounds: Do you hear running or dripping water in your home, when all water sources are turned off?
  • Cracks in walls or flooring: A slab leak can slowly wash away the earth supporting your Clearwater, St. Petersburg or Tampa home. Without this support, the building’s weight can cause it to sag, leading to cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Mold damage under your carpet: The outflowing water can seep up through the concrete floor, creating the perfect environment for the spread of mold or mildew.
  • Hot spot: A possible indication of a hot water leak beneath your residence is a hot spot on the floor of your house.

An easy way to confirm if water is escaping into or below your home is by observing the water meter. Simply turn off all faucets and double check there aren’t any appliances using water, then you can go outside and check the meter. If the needle is still moving, there’s almost certainly a leak, and you’ll want to reach out to local Expert plumbers.

Why Choose Levy & Son Service Experts?

A severe leak under a concrete slab is often frustrating. This is why it’s imperative to choose a professional. Not only can they offer you outstanding customer service and superior quality repairs, but they can support it with years of dependable service and thousands of satisfied customers.

Don’t allow anyone to damage your property searching for the source of a leak; breaking into the concrete without first pinpointing the location of the damage is never acceptable. At Levy & Son Service Experts, we can find the precise location of the burst pipe by using cutting-edge thermal imaging and electromagnetic pipeline locators.

Using their extensive training, our experienced technicians limit the size of the entrance hole as much as possible, sometimes even minimizing the disruption of property to a single floor tile. The smaller the hole, the more you can save on the cost of labor and repairs.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

Once the source of the slab leak is uncovered, there are several repair options we might use. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of the damage:

  1. With the newest homes, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete directly above the damage and fixing the pipe.
  2. If dealing with an older plumbing system, or a system with a history of problems, it’s likely more cost efficient for the technician to repipe the entire line rather than attempt a repair.
  3. If there are multiple leaks throughout the water line, it is sometimes possible for us to apply an epoxy coating to the inside of the pipe to seal the damaged areas, rather than breaking multiple holes in the floor for easy access.

With our flat-rate pricing, there are no hidden costs, and any additional expenses will be discussed with you so there are never any surprises. We also offer one-hour emergency service during normal business hours when scheduling permits.
