From First Signs of a Slab Leak to Good As New
If you’ve noticed unusual water bills, warm spots on your floors, or unexplained cracks in your home’s foundation, you might be dealing with a slab leak. Left unresolved, slab leaks can cause major structural damage and costly water loss. Homeowners across Suwanee, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and beyond trust Aaron Plumbing for fast, professional slab leak repair.
What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak occurs when a water line running beneath your home’s concrete foundation becomes damaged and begins to leak. These leaks can develop slowly over time due to shifting soil, corrosion, or poor installation. Because they’re hidden under the slab, they often go undetected until noticeable damage occurs.
Slab leaks most commonly affect hot water lines, which are more likely to expand and contract, eventually leading to cracks. Left untreated, a slab leak can compromise your home’s foundation, create mold or mildew issues, and lead to expensive repairs.
Common Causes of Slab Leaks
- Aging or corroded pipes (especially in older homes)
- High water pressure causing pipe stress
- Shifting soil or foundation movement
- Poor pipe installation or inferior materials
- Chemical reactions between pipe materials and surrounding soil
Slab Leak Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Because slab leaks happen beneath your home, the warning signs are often subtle. Here are the most common symptoms:
- Unexplained spikes in your water bill
- Warm or damp spots on flooring
- Sounds of running water when nothing is turned on
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Cracks in flooring or walls
- Mold or mildew near baseboards
- Foundation settling or shifting
If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs, don’t wait. A slab leak won’t fix itself—and fast action can prevent extensive damage.
