Based in Lancaster, CA, Ace Plumbing & Drain provides professional plumbing services, and part of our service is detection and repairs of slab leaks.
Slab Leak Symptoms
There are different things that will let you know that you have a leak. One common symptom is the sound of running water even though all water has been turned off. Another classic symptom of a slab leak is a hot spot on your floor, which can indicate that there is a leak in your hot water line. Cracks in your wall and flooring is also another symptom. If the slab is already cracked, then you might experience mildew or excessive moisture located underneath your carpets. If you decide to leave the leak alone, you might be faced with high water bills. A meter test is a good way to check if your plumbing has a slab leak.
Locating the Leak
Opening a slab or pool deck without proper guidance or leak confirmation can be dangerous. Don’t just let anyone dismantle your property just to look for leaks. Locating a slab leak requires technical expertise. We use modern tools like an electronic amplification equipment, as well as electromagnetic pipeline locators. With the right equipment, leaks can be located easily and can be repaired with minimum disruption to your property.
Repair Options
Once we have located the leak, our plumbers will provide you with repair options. We always strive for the least destructive method when it comes to repairing slab leaks. Options include spot repair, which involves opening the slab at the leak spot and repairing the leaking pipe. Another option is repiping or rerouting, which is effective for older plumbing systems that always have leaking problems. Epoxy pipe coating is the third option, which includes putting pipe coating through the inside of your plumbing system. This process is effective for systems that have a series of small leaks.
If you have problems with slab leaks, call us right away, and we will detect the leak and provide the necessary repairs. You can contact Ace Plumbing & Drain at (661) 942-4009, or you can also visit us at Lancaster, CA.
