Call A1 Chesney Service Experts for Experienced Slab Leak Repair in Calgary

Do you have a slab leak in your home? A broken pipe under a concrete slab is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to find and fix. Trying to fix things on their own can be a nightmare for homeowners. Thankfully, the industry leaders at A1 Chesney Service Experts can help limit the stress.

What Is A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures below the concrete foundation of your home, driveway or pool deck. This type of leak is hard to fix because in order for the damage to be reached, it requires that we remove a portion of the concrete slab to reach the pipe.

Symptoms

When a pipe bursts beneath solid stone at your residence, you may not notice at first. So how do you know when there’s a slab leak? Keep an eye out for these 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. The damage can spread if hidden behind a wall or under a floor, so it is important that you have a professional immediately perform an assessment.
  • Dripping or splashing noises: Do you hear what sounds like running or dripping water, even when you aren’t using any water?
  • Damage to the walls or floors: A slab leak can slowly wash away the earth providing protection for your Clearwater, St. Petersburg or Tampa home. As structural support weakens, the building’s weight can cause it to sag, forming cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Unexplained mold or mildew: A slab leak can slowly but consistently seep up through the concrete floor, spurring mold growth.
  • Hot spot: A possible indication of a hot water leak beneath your residence is a hot spot on the floor of your house.

A simple way to determine if water is leaking inside or below your home is by observing the water meter. You’ll want to shut off every faucet and make sure no appliances are still using water, then head outside to watch the meter. When the needle doesn’t stop moving, you’re most likely dealing with a leak, and it’s time to contact the professionals.

Repair Options for a Slab Leak

After we have located the source of the leak, you can choose from several options for the repair. Their effectiveness will vary by property and the severity of the damage:

  1. In new construction homes, it is often as simple as your plumber opening up the concrete just above the damage and fixing the pipe.
  2. With older plumbing, or a system with a steady stream of problems, it’s probably best to repipe the entire affected line rather than fixing a single damaged pipe.
  3. If there are multiple leaks throughout the water line, we may be able to apply an epoxy coating along the pipes’ interior instead of creating more than one hole in the floor for direct.

Thanks to flat-rate pricing, you know the price from the start, and any additional expenses are reviewed as soon as possible so you can make informed decisions. We’ll do our best to maintain one-hour emergency service during normal business hours when scheduling permits.
