A slab is a concrete foundation often used in home construction. When building a home, plumbers will often install the water and sewer lines below the slab. Burying pipes in this manner protects them from punctures and freezing. The downside is that, if a leak does happen, it makes repair more difficult.
There are a number of solutions to a slab leak. Spot repairs are preferable, as they minimize the amount of concrete that your plumber needs to excavate and then replace. For larger issues, you may need to have your home re-piped (also called re-routing). There’s also pipelining, in which your plumber routes new pipes into the existing ones.
Of course, not all plumbing issues are slab leaks, as your home has more pipes throughout its structure. You’ll often find them in the walls, but they may also run through basements and crawl spaces. Pipes made of copper are particularly common, as are plastic ones made of PVC, CPVC, and PEX. Pipe leak repair for each type requires a different approach, making it important to work with a professional.
Some leaks stem not from the pipes themselves but fixtures. This can include dripping faucets or toilets that run constantly, for example. A dripping showerhead may not seem like an issue, but it can drive up your water bills a surprising amount, too. Also, a leak in your water heater can reduce the amount of hot water you get when doing dishes or showering.
If you suspect a leak but aren’t sure where it is, that’s where leak detection comes in. The first step is a visual inspection, but professionals also have equipment to help. You can also get detectors that alert you to issues when they happen rather than having to react to a leak afterward.
