Slab Leak Repair Experts

Although slab leaks are not a common plumbing problem, they can quickly result in significant damage if they do develop. These leaks occur under your home, beneath the concrete slab foundation. This causes the soil around the water line to shift, which can compromise the structural integrity of your home or building.

Relentless Home Services can help get this problem resolved safely and efficiently. We provide slab leak repairs for residential and commercial properties in Burleson and surrounding areas. Our experts will make sure the leak is found and fixed using tried and proven methods.

How To Tell If You Have a Slab Leak

On the surface, slab leak symptoms are very similar to regular water leaks. You may notice a decrease in water pressure, an unexpectedly high water bill, mold growth, and the constant sound of water running through your pipes.

But slab leaks involve a few additional problems:

The above scenarios are strong indicators of a leaking water line under your property. Contact Relentless Home Services to confirm the slab leak and receive the right solution.

Detecting and Repairing Slab Leaks

Slab leak repair is a two-part process. First we need to locate the leak. Once we’ve determined the extent of the problem, we can go ahead and perform the appropriate repair.

Slab Leak Detection

We will begin by tracing your underground water line with a digital pipe locating device. This process allows us to determine the exact route and depth of your pipes.

After we have created a path outlining your water line, we can start looking for the leak. We use a combination of acoustic and infrared leak detection technology. If you have deep pipes that are difficult to locate, we may use tracer gas to determine the exact area of the leak.

Pipe locating and leak detection are noninvasive and won’t harm your existing plumbing system. They are an essential first step to helping us better understand the extent of your problem before we move forward with repairs.

Our Repair Methods

Slab leak repair can be carried out using a variety of methods. The best option for your property will depend on factors such as the structural integrity of your existing water line, ease of access to the line, and how much damage it has suffered.

Newer properties will likely have problems isolated to a particular area of the water line. If this is the case, the most direct approach is to open the section of flooring and foundation above the affected area and repair the pipe that way. While we understand that this method will require digging up portions of your flooring, it presents the most accurate and straightforward approach to slab leak repair.

Other repair options include pipe lining, repiping, or pipe rerouting. We will help you determine the best method of repair after carefully considering your particular needs.
