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.

Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike

The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.

Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!

On a Tuesday evening at 5pm, we described the problem to Waterworks expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment. Instead, they were able to get us on the schedule for Thursday afternoon (only 2 days later)! That day, Brian, our plumber, called and texted to say he when he would arrive, and he did right on schedule. He looked at the problem and identified a couple of different ways it could be handled. Then, Brian looked at pricing for each option to determine the one that was most long lasting yet cost effective. He then worked quickly but carefully to complete the job. And Brian did a great job cleaning up! Couldn't be happier with the job.
