Hot Water Slab Leaks
If Hot Water Slab Leaks Are Your Home’s Biggest Enemy, We Are Your Heroes
Slab leaks occur under your home’s concrete slab foundation. Repairing them requires experience, expertise, and skill — all three that our slab leak repair specialists have. If those three traits are missing, you will come face to face with a bigger problem.
Since accessing a water pipe for repair is difficult, you need a professional with extensive knowledge of hot water slab leaks. You cannot hire just any plumbing company for the job; you need “the” plumbing company – one that offers you a free estimate along with an expert repair service. And that is us!
What is to Blame for a Hot Water Slab Leak?
You can put the blame on your hot water line for the slab leak. When a hot water line leaks, it is called a hot water slab leak. Over time, your pipes succumb to corrosion. Corrosion starts from the inside of the pipe, damaging and breaking it and resulting in a slab leak.
It is not uncommon to see a hot water slab leak. It happens when corrosion occurs from the outside when the heat reacts with the metal and soil around it.
Even though this makes detecting a slab leak even more difficult, it is still possible to determine if you are looking at a hot water slab leak or another plumbing issue. If you suspect anything, contact us for repair we service the Arlington, TX area and nearby cities.
Signs
Look for the following signs:
- Warm spots on the ground
- The sound of rushing water under your home
- Change in water pressure when you use hot water
- Not getting any hot water
Even if you suspect a slab leak — whether hot or cold — call us straight away to fix it. However, cold water leaks are more difficult to detect. We suggest you always stay vigilant and actively look for signs that may indicate a slab leak, such as a drop in water pressure, increased water bills, water around your home, and more.
Never Ever Let It Get to The Point Where There is No Return
The longer the problem goes undetected, the higher the risk of water damage and your home’s foundation collapsing. By catching a slab leak sooner, you will not have to pay for replacing the entire plumbing system, but just for that one leaky pipe. Yes, catching a slab leak is not an easy task, but is it possible?
Yes, it is.
By contacting our hot water leak specialists for annual maintenance of your plumbing system, slab leaks will not get away, but be caught and repaired on the spot. You will also save money because it will stop the issue from becoming worse. In the end, annual maintenance will go a long way!
How Do We Repair Hot Water Slab Leaks?
There are a few repair options that we consider for repairing, they include:
- If you have the latest plumbing system installed in your house, we will open up the concrete directly above the damage and repair the pipe.
- If you have an old plumbing system installed in your house or a plumbing system with a host of issues, we will re-pipe the entire plumbing system instead of making a repair because it is more cost-effective.
- If there are several leaks throughout the plumbing system, we will seal the damaged areas of the pipe by applying an epoxy coating on the inside instead of breaking several holes in the floor to access the pipe directly.
Whatever you do, do not invite people with zero credibility and training into your home to repair a hot water slab leak. They may damage your property while searching for the slab leak by digging into the concrete without identifying the location of the damage.
