Slab leaks are common in homes and are usually caused by corroded pipes or shifting foundations. Fortunately, repairing them is generally straightforward. When you need slab leak services, you can trust the experts at Bannister to provide exemplary service at a fair price.
What is a Slab Leak?
A “slab leak” is a leak in the water pipes that run within or beneath your home’s concrete foundation. These leaks are often caused by ground movement, corrosion, poor installation techniques, and high water pressure. They can also occur due to age-related wear and tear on pipes.
Common signs of a slab leak include:
- Unusually high water bills
- Moisture on the floors and other surfaces of your home
- Hearing water flowing even when water is turned off
- Smell of sewage
