Have you noticed an unusual dampness on your walls or floors or water pooling in your front yard? Has your water bill skyrocketed? You may have a slab leak. Slab leaks can cause severe water damage to your property if not addressed promptly. Unfortunately, it can take weeks or months before you detect a slab leak.
At Curtis Plumbing, we specialize in slab leak detection and repair in Tucson, AZ, and surrounding areas. Our team of plumbing experts uses advanced tools to detect and repair slab leaks as quickly as possible. We help you avoid frustrating and costly structural damage to your property.
What is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak occurs when pipes running underneath a concrete foundation break or develop cracks or holes. These leaks can be due to aging pipes, shifting soil, or high water pressure. If not detected and fixed in time, the leaks can compromise your foundation, cause water damage, and lead to high water bills.
Understanding what a slab leak is and addressing it early can help protect your Tucson home or business. If you suspect a slab leak, contact our team of professional plumbers at Curtis Plumbing.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
Pipes are often out of sight and when damaged, they can leak for a long time and cause damage before you notice and fix the issue. But, there are warning signs that can help you detect a slab leak, including:
- Unexpected high water bills. An unexplained spike in your water bill could mean there is a hidden leak in your foundation or plumbing system.
- Damp or warm spots on floors. Dampness or warmth on your flooring or walls may indicate a leak below the surface.
- Reduced water pressure. Decreased water flow in your faucets or when showering could be a sign of a hidden pipe leak.
- Sounds of running water. If you hear water running even when all your faucets are turned off, get a plumber to check for pipe leaks.
If you have experienced any of these signs, contact Curtis Plumbing for fast and reliable slab leak detection and repair services in Tucson.
Our Slab Leak Detection Process
At Curtis Plumbing, we use advanced technology to locate slab leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Our tools and techniques include:
- Acoustic leak detectors – the advanced listening technique uses sounds to pinpoint leaks with precision
- Video inspection – we insert a video camera in your pipes to detect holes and leaks
- Thermal Imaging – we use infrared technology to detect heat patterns caused by leaking hot water pipes
Our non-invasive approach ensures we don’t dig up pipes and your property remains intact while we fix the slab leak.
Slab Leak Repair Options
Once we’ve located the slab leak, our team offers several repair options tailored to your needs, including:
- Spot Repairs – Ideal for isolated leaks, we repair only the affected area, minimizing costs and disruption.
- Rerouting Pipes – For pipes that are extensively damaged, we reroute them to bypass the problematic section.
- Pipe Replacement – In cases of severe damage, we can replace entire pipe sections to ensure long-lasting solutions.
