Why Our Customers Choose Us For Slab Leak Repair:
What Is A Slab Leak?
Slab leaks are a fact of life in places where soils are unstable. Residential properties are built on concrete slabs or utilizing pier and beam construction because basement wall surfaces can split and crack from the stress of shifting soils.
Slab construction came to be popular throughout the post-WWII construction boom due to the fact that it was much faster and cheaper. A rebar-reinforced 4″– 6″ thick concrete slab is applied straight on a prepared surface. Plumbing lines run underneath the slab, where they are difficult to get to.
Occasionally the plumbing joints leak or the pipes crack under a slab, and after that, you have one of the most severe problems you can imagine– a slab leak.
As water runs beneath your house it deteriorates the soil. This removes support for the slab and puts extra strain on it and might trigger it to develop fractures from hairline size to an inch or even more. After that, all that water has a clear pathway right into your home.
Depending on the magnitude of the leak, you might experience significant water damage to floor coverings, wall surfaces, furniture, home appliances, and much more. And, as you can imagine, repairing a leak underneath tons of concrete is no stroll in the park, and it’s certainly not a Do It Yourself plumbing task.

How Slab Leaks Happen In Phoenix
Slab leaks in Phoenix are notorious. Because many Phoenix Valley homes are built on concrete slab foundations, they are prone to experiencing slab leaks at some point. And, a slab leak can be very costly if you do not catch it soon enough. Here are some of the common reasons for slab leaks in the Phoenix Valley:
- Ground Shifts: The porous desert ground can allow for unexpected ground shifts. When the soil shifts, pipes that are coming through your concrete slab foundation can crack causing a slab leak.
- Pipe Corrosion: Corrosion is another big cause of slab leaks. Hard water and acidic water can cause plumbing pipes to corrode, crack, and leak in your slab.
- Poor Plumbing Installations: If your pipes were not installed properly, they can be prone to leaks. And some pipes like polybutylene will eventually fail and cause water leaks.
