A “slab leak” is a leak in the water pipes that run within or beneath the concrete foundation of your home. These leaks are often caused by corrosion over a long period of time, improper installation of plumbing, shifting of a home's foundation (such as during an earthquake), or abrasion when pipes are damaged by expansion and contraction with hot and cold water against concrete or other material rub temperatures.

Even if your plumbing systems appear to be functioning normally, there are common warning signs of a slab leak that Bannister Plumbing & Air needs to be on the lookout for. If you notice any of the following things, there may be a problem and it's time to call the professionals at Bannister Plumbing & Air for a repair or slab leak detection evaluation:

• Is your water bill unusually high in Jacksonville, Texas?

A surprisingly high water bill could indicate a broken or leaking pipe somewhere in your home. If there are no obvious signs of a leak in your Jacksonville home (such as water stains), it is possible that there is a leak under your home's foundation slab. Call the slab leak repair experts at Bannister Plumbing & Air immediately to have your slab foundation inspected and prevent further damage.

• Do you feel moisture on the floors and other surfaces in your home?

Perhaps the clearest way to detect a slab leak is to feel it through the surfaces and foundation of your home. Concrete is porous and absorbs moisture. If this is the case, you need to call Bannister Plumbing & Air immediately to repair the leaking panels in your home.

• Do you hear water flowing? Even if the water is completely turned off?

Your home should only have running water when the systems are on. If you hear dripping, dripping, leaking, or other unusual noises when the water is turned off, call Bannister Plumbing & Air before it's too late.

• A smell of sewage?

If you smell sewage or unusual odors in your Jacksonville, TX home, you may have a broken sewer or drainage line underground or under your foundation. This could damage your home's slab foundation and cause the slab to leak. Call Bannister Plumbing & Air to investigate the problem and get a slab leak repair estimate today.

Slab leaks can lead to costly repairs if not addressed quickly. They can damage your cabinets, carpets, tiles, hardwood floors, and even the foundation of your home. There are different ways to repair a slab leak for you, depending on the extent of the damage caused, the type of plumbing in the property, and your personal preferences.

These methods include:

• Pipe rerouting:

This may seem counterintuitive, but it is the most cost-effective option. When relocating pipes, the water supply line must be relocated away from this leak area.

• Cutting through the foundation:

This works well if you have a modern home. We cut and repair your pipes. This solution is a long term solution.

• Repiping: 

In an older home, it is not uncommon for pipes to leak and need to be replaced. If leaks occur frequently, the plumbing line should be removed and replaced.

• Pipe Coating:

This can be helpful if we find that drilling into the foundation of an older home is too difficult or expensive for us. We will coat the pipes with epoxy to stop the leak.

What are common causes of slab leaks?

Common causes of slab leaks include ground movement, corrosion, poor installation techniques and high water pressure. Leaks can also occur due to age-related wear and tear on pipes.

What are signs of a slab leak?

Signs that your slab is leaking include increased water bills, the sound of running water, cracked foundations, sinking foundations, uneven floors, and/or doors that jam easily. If you have noticed one or more of these problems, call Bannister Plumbing & Air as soon as possible to prevent further serious damage to your home.

What causes a slab leak?

There are several possible causes of a slab leak. If copper pipes run through your slab, minerals in the water entering your home can cause the copper to corrode. Another common cause of slab leaks is high water pressure. If your water pressure is too high, the pipes will be damaged. Both scenarios will ultimately lead to a leak in your home's slab.

How long does it take to repair a slab leak?

Most slab leaks will only take a day or so to repair. There are some situations where repairing the slab leak could take longer, but it’s highly unlikely.
