Slab leaks can be not only structurally devastating, but financially shattering as well. Unfortunately, many foundation leaks are not covered by homeowners insurance, which means you will be footing the entire costs for repairs. If you are concerned about foundation leaks, the best option is to call a certified slab leak repair specialist as soon as you suspect you have a problem. Treating the problem early increases the likelihood that repairs will be minimal and far less expensive that if the problem gets out of control.

How Homeowners Can Detect Slab Leaks
Did you know that below ground leaks can cost consumers hundreds of dollars in added utility costs over the course of several months? Believe it or not, a tiny puncture in a pipe can leak upwards of 10,000 gallons of water a month. Homeowners that know how to detect potential problems have the advantage of correcting problems before they get out control.
Homeowners should pay close attention to the following:
- Hot spots on flooring
- Damp spots on flooring
- Large water bills
- Cracks in the basement floor
- Cracks on your walls
Remember, you don’t have to have a basement to experience a foundation leak. Homes that simply have a concrete slab are just at risk of developing a problem. Also, pay close attention to any leaks that form around your water heater and call for water heater repair as soon as possible.
If you are concerned about a slab leak, call our offices right away. We’ll put you in contact with qualified, leak detection specialists in San Francisco, California to help you take care of messy water issues.
