Call Air Engineers Service Experts for Exceptional Slab Leak Repair in Jacksonville

A slab leak is one of the most difficult plumbing problems to locate and solve. It’s easy to have one and not notice; its seepage can be a nightmare for homeowners. Count on the industry leaders from Air Engineers Service Experts to save you from stress and further damages.

A Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a pipe ruptures underneath the concrete foundation of your home, driveway, or pool deck. This type of leak is complicated to repair because a professional must get to the concrete slab to reach the pipe.

Symptoms

When you have a leak hidden deep beneath solid concrete at your residence, it can be very difficult to detect. So how can you tell? Be aware of the following signs:

  • Expensive water bills: If you are experiencing higher water bills without high usage, there is most likely water escaping a pipe somewhere in your residence, under the slab or inside a wall. It’s important that you have a professional perform an assessment immediately.
  • Dripping or splashing sounds: Do you hear running or dripping water in your home when all water sources aren’t currently running?
  • Apparent cracks in the floors or walls: A slab leak can wash away the ground that supports the foundation of your home in Jacksonville, compromising its support. The weight of the building can cause the foundation to sag and create cracks in the walls or floor.
  • Mildew underneath the carpet: The outflowing water can seep up through the concrete slab, creating optimal conditions for mold growth.
  • Hot areas: A possible hint of a hot water leak beneath your residence is a hot spot on the floor of your house.

A simple way to determine if water is escaping into or below your home is by utilizing the meter test. Simply turn off all faucets and ensure there are no appliances using water, then go check out your meter. If the needle is still moving, there is a definite leak, and you should request a professional for emergency maintenance.

Ways to Treat a Slab Leak

After we have located the source of the leak, there are several repair options we might use. Their results will vary by property and the severity of the damage:

  1. With newer construction, it is often as simple as our plumber opening the concrete directly above the damage and fixing the pipe.
  2. Sometimes with old systems, or a system with a history of problems, it is more cost-effective for the technician to repipe the entire line rather than attempt a repair.
  3. If there are several leaks throughout the water line, it is sometimes possible for us to apply an epoxy coating to the inside of the pipe to seal the damaged areas, rather than breaking multiple holes in the floor for direct access.

With our flat-rate pricing, there are no hidden costs, and any additional expenses will be brought to your attention so there are never any surprises. We also can support you with one-hour emergency service during normal business hours when scheduling permits.
