What slab leak locating (water & sewer) involves
A slab leak is a break in the water or sewer piping that runs through or under your home's concrete foundation. Most homes in North Texas are built on a slab, and the clay soil underneath swells after heavy rain and shrinks in drought. That movement, plus age and corrosion, puts steady stress on the pipes buried in it.
Slab leaks are easy to miss. Watch for a water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm spots on the floor, low water pressure, damp carpet, or new cracks in walls and flooring. Left alone, a slab leak can wash out soil and lead to foundation damage that costs far more than the plumbing repair.
Mesquite Plumbing locates slab leaks on both the water side and the sewer side using electronic listening equipment, pressure testing and camera inspection, so we break concrete only where the leak actually is. Then we explain the repair options, from a spot repair to rerouting the line, before work begins.
