What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a water line beneath the concrete foundation of your home or building begins to leak. Because the pipes are hidden under concrete, these leaks are difficult to see and often go unnoticed until damage becomes severe.

Slab leaks can develop in both older and newer properties and are commonly caused by:

Corrosion of water pipes
Abrasion from shifting soil beneath the slab
Poor installation or low-quality materials
Pressure changes inside water lines
Earth movement or temperature changes

Left unaddressed, slab leaks can undermine a foundation, warp flooring, promote mold growth, and significantly increase your water bill.

Why Early Leak Detection Matters

Detecting a slab leak early can save you thousands of dollars in repair costs and prevent long-term structural damage. Unlike visible plumbing leaks, slab leaks are hidden and often produce subtle signs that are easy to overlook.

Some of the most important reasons to address slab leaks promptly include:

Protecting Structural Integrity: Water under a concrete slab can erode soil and weaken support.
Preventing Mold and Mildew: Hidden moisture creates the perfect environment for mold growth, which can impact indoor air quality and health.
Avoiding Floor Damage: Hardwood, tile, and laminate floors can warp, discolor, or crack from persistent moisture.
Saving on Water Bills: Undetected leaks waste water, raising monthly utility costs without visible signs.
Reducing Long-Term Repair Costs: The sooner a leak is found, the less invasive and costly the repairs tend to be.

Signs You May Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks are tricky because they can be hidden for months before becoming obvious. Knowing what to watch for can help you identify a problem early:

Unexplained Increase in Water Bill

If your water usage climbs without a change in habits, a hidden leak under the slab may be wasting water.

Damp or Warm Spots on the Floor

Moisture or warmth in specific areas of your flooring can indicate water leaking beneath the concrete.

Cracks in Walls or Flooring

Water movement beneath a slab can cause drywall or tile to crack or shift.

Sounds of Running Water

Hearing water when no fixtures are running is a strong sign of a hidden leak.

Low Water Pressure

A slab leak can reduce pressure in your plumbing system if water is escaping underground instead of reaching faucets.

If you notice one or more of these signs, prompt professional detection is critical.

Our Slab Leak Detection Process

Good Bros Plumbing uses a structured, high-precision approach to find leaks beneath slabs — without unnecessary damage to your property. Our process includes:

Thorough Visual Inspection

Our technicians begin with a careful visual assessment, looking for surface indications of moisture, staining, or floor irregularities.

Non-Invasive Electronic Leak Detection

We use advanced electronic listening devices to pinpoint the location of concealed leaks beneath the slab, ensuring accuracy without breaking concrete.

Pressure Testing

By measuring pressure changes in your plumbing system, we can isolate the presence of a leak and determine which water lines are affected.

Thermal Imaging

Infrared thermal imaging helps identify hidden moisture and temperature variations that indicate the presence of a leak.

Accurate Leak Location Mapping

Once the exact location is identified, we mark it precisely so repairs can be made with minimal disruption.

Our goal is to detect leaks quickly and accurately, with as little impact to your property as possible.

Slab Leak Repair Options

After detecting the leak, we’ll discuss the best repair strategy based on location, severity, and your specific needs. Options may include:

Pipe Rerouting

When a section of pipe beneath the slab has failed, rerouting the water line above or around the slab can be an effective solution.

Sectional Replacement

If a localized portion of pipe is leaking, we can access and replace just that section with durable materials designed to last.

Spot Repair with Minimal Concrete Removal

Thanks to precise detection tools, only the exact slab area above the leak may need to be opened for repair, reducing repair time and cleanup.

Your technician will explain all available options and help you choose the repair approach that makes the most sense for your home or building.

Preventing Future Slab Leaks

While some slab leaks result from unavoidable conditions, you can reduce the likelihood of future leaks by:

Scheduling routine inspections of plumbing systems
Monitoring water pressure to prevent excessive stress on pipes
Using modern piping materials that resist corrosion
Addressing minor leaks before they become major

Regular maintenance is an effective way to extend the life of your plumbing system and avoid surprise slab issues.
