What Causes Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks occur when pipes beneath your home’s foundation crack, corrode, or break, leading to water seepage that can damage floors, walls, and structural integrity. Here are the most common causes:

  • Corrosion – If copper pipes contact steel reinforcement rods or unbalanced pH levels, they can corrode over time, leading to leaks.
  • High Water Pressure – Poor pipe installation, shifting soil, or underground stress can cause cracks or pinhole leaks.
  • Abrasion – Constant water movement causes pipes to rub against concrete or gravel, leading to wear and tear.
  • High Water Table – In areas prone to heavy rains, underground water can seep into slabs, increasing pressure on your plumbing system.

Left untreated, slab leaks can cause severe damage, including:

  • Mold & Mildew Growth
  • Foundation Cracks & Instability
  • Rising Utility Bills
  • Structural Damage to Walls & Floors

Early detection saves thousands in potential repairs!   

Signs You May Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks often go undetected for months—until serious damage appears. Look for these warning signs:

  • Unexplained High Water Bills – A sudden spike in your water usage with no change in habits.
  • The Sound of Running Water – Hearing water moving through pipes when no faucets are running.
  • Hot Spots on the Floor – Warm areas on tile, wood, or carpet—often caused by leaks in hot water lines.
  • Moisture or Mold Growth – Damp floors, mildew under carpets, or bubbling linoleum could mean underground water seepage.
  • Cracks in Flooring or Walls – Long-term water exposure can weaken your foundation, leading to cracked tile or shifting walls.

If you notice any of these red flags, don’t wait—call The Waterworks for an inspection today!   

Where Are Slab Leaks Found?

Slab leaks typically develop in two main areas:

  1. Incoming Water Lines – These pipes carry pressurized water into your home. A leak in these pipes can cause water to seep through cracks, leading to visible flooding or foundation damage.
  2. Drainage Pipes – These leaks don’t always show obvious signs right away, but they can erode soil, weaken foundations, and cause long-term damage.

Since slab leaks are often hidden, it’s crucial to have a licensed plumber inspect your home if you suspect a problem.

Jonle was recommended to me by a friend and I have been under contract with them for 2 years. Best decision ever. They call and schedule a check up of my furnace and heat pump twice a year at my convenience. Their employees are top notch and willing to answer any questions. I definitely recommend Jonle to anyone who asks.

Wade, your technician was very thorough and professional. Above all, he was persistent and did not give up on clearing the drain pipe clog, even after snaking the drain multiple times! Step by step he considered all potential causes until the clog was cleared. Thank you Wade.

Sam was very knowledgeable and treated our house with such respect. Our house is under construction. He wore covers over his shoes as not to track in debris and he cleaned up after himself as he was working and after his job was completed. Not only was the job completed with expertise but with such kindness and understanding. I hope Waterworks knows what a valuable employee they have.

We are repeat customers of Waterworks, and this most recent appointment did not disappoint. Everything from opening the ticket to getting a technician out Josh was absolutely fantastic both yesterday and today. He took time to explain everything from start to finish, balance out opportunities, and priorities and made it really easy and simple to understand everything. Waterworks is fantastic, which is why we continue to use them. Update as of 02/12/26: We really love Waterworks. Huge fan as we've used them for years. Called on Monday, secured an appointment for Thursday snagging the morning 4 hour window. Got a call from John at near 10 am - he was on his way. Arrived friendly, professional and efficient. Knocked it out at noon and we had our new kitchen faucet ready to roll. I wish Google could let us give more stars as Waterworks is very deserving. We'll continue to partner with them!

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you.

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
