If you suspect a slab leak, call (602) 854-8641 now to schedule an inspection and repair before the damage worsens.

What Is a Slab Leak & Why Is It Dangerous?

A slab leak happens when a water line beneath your concrete foundation starts leaking due to corrosion, shifting soil, or high water pressure. Because the pipes are hidden, leaks can persist for weeks or months, slowly damaging the foundation and causing expensive structural issues.

Dangers of a Slab Leak:

• Foundation Damage – Water erodes the soil under your home, leading to foundation shifting, cracks, or even collapse.
• Mold & Mildew Growth – Excess moisture beneath your floors creates a perfect breeding ground for mold, affecting indoor air quality.
• High Water Bills – A hidden leak wastes thousands of gallons of water, driving up your utility costs.
• Warped or Damaged Flooring – Water pooling beneath your home can cause wood floors to warp and tiles to loosen.

Catching a slab leak early can save you thousands of dollars in foundation repairs. If you think you may have one, schedule an inspection today!

Warning Signs You Have a Slab Leak

Since slab leaks occur beneath the foundation, detecting them without professional tools can be challenging. However, these warning signs often indicate a problem:

• Warm or damp spots on the floor – A hot water line leak can cause the floor to feel unusually warm in certain areas.
• Cracks in walls or floors – Water can shift your foundation, leading to visible cracks inside your home.
• Unexplained spikes in your water bill – A sudden increase in water costs without increased usage is a red flag.
• Mold or mildew smell – Water leaking beneath the slab can lead to hidden mold growth, even if you don’t see it.
• The sound of running water when no faucets are in use – If you hear hissing or rushing water, a hidden leak may be to blame.
• Low water pressure – Leaks in your plumbing system divert water away from your fixtures, leading to weak pressure.

How We Detect & Repair Slab Leaks Without Major Disruption

At All Time Leak Detection of Phoenix, we use state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology to locate leaks without unnecessary drilling or property damage.

Our Advanced Slab Leak Detection Methods:

Acoustic Leak Detection – Identifies leaks using sensitive sound equipment that detects escaping water beneath the slab.
Thermal Imaging Cameras – Detects temperature changes caused by leaking water pipes under your floors.
Electronic Line Tracing – Helps us precisely map your plumbing system to locate the leak source.
Pressure Testing – Determines abnormal water pressure drops, confirming the presence of a leak.

Once we pinpoint the exact location of the leak, we recommend the best slab leak repair method based on your home’s plumbing system and severity of the damage.

Slab Leak Repair Options

Depending on the location and extent of the leak, we offer three main slab leak repair solutions:

Spot Repairs

For isolated slab leaks, we can access the pipe directly, cutting into the slab to repair or replace the damaged section. This method is cost-effective but may not be suitable for older plumbing systems with multiple leaks.

✔ Best for: Small, single leaks in a specific location
✔ Pros: Quick repair with minimal disruption
✔ Cons: Requires some concrete removal

Pipe Rerouting

If your leaking pipe is difficult to access or has multiple weak points, we may recommend rerouting the plumbing above ground rather than breaking into the slab.

✔ Best for: Older homes with corroded pipes
✔ Pros: Prevents future slab leaks, avoids excessive concrete removal
✔ Cons: Requires rerouting pipes through walls or attic

Whole-Home Repiping

For aging plumbing systems with frequent leaks, a full repiping solution is often the best long-term fix. We replace all outdated pipes with modern PEX or copper piping, eliminating the risk of future slab leaks.

✔ Best for: Homes with multiple leaks or outdated plumbing
✔ Pros: Permanent solution, improved water flow, prevents future leaks
✔ Cons: Higher upfront cost, but saves money on future repairs
