A slab leak can be one of the most expensive plumbing issues a homeowner faces, often going unnoticed until foundation damage occurs. Data shows that water leaks account for nearly $10 billion in property damage annually. These leaks, which occur beneath the foundation of a home, can cause cracks in walls, uneven flooring, and even structural failure if left unchecked.
Early Warning Signs of a Slab Leak
To prevent extensive repairs, be on the lookout for:
- Unexplained Water Bill Increases – Even small leaks can drive up monthly costs.
- Warm or Damp Floors – Hot water line leaks often create warm spots on flooring.
- Low Water Pressure – A sudden drop could indicate a hidden leak beneath the foundation.
Routine inspections and early detection can prevent thousands of dollars in repairs. If you suspect a slab leak, ThunderFlow Plumbing offers advanced leak detection services to safeguard your home.
