Hidden plumbing and water leaks are a chronic issue in both Atlanta and Orlando. Slab or foundation leaks are among the most common type of plumbing issue.
Foundation leaks can take years to develop and go undetected for even longer before for the homeowner realizes there is a leak. Florida and Georgia are both know for limestone deposits in the water. Over time, these deposits can wreck havoc on water pipes, causing pinhole leaks.
Other factors that play a role in slab leaks include, shifting soil due to weather putting a the strain on pipes, pressurized water supply, older rusty pipes, and poor or inadequate construction.
Since these leaks are under the foundation they use to be difficult to locate, but with the Leak Doctor’s advanced technology, we can detect a plumbing leak without digging up the flooring or into walls. Our minimal destruction inevitably saves the insurance company and homeowner tons of money.
There is no doubt a slab leak can cause significant property damage and health issues, which is why professional leak detection is necessary. Symptoms may include a noticeable high water bill, a sudden drop in water pressure, damp floors, constant hissing or the sound of running water, cracks in the foundation and mold in the walls.
If left untreated slab leaks can compromise the integrity of the foundation and eventually your home or business, not to mention the health issues from the mold and mildew.
