Slab Leak Detection

A slab leak occurs when there is a leak in the hot or cold-water lines concealed beneath a concrete foundation. These leaks can vary in size, from small pinhole leaks that can go undetected for years to larger leaks with noticeable signs. If left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to increased utility bills, water wastage, and potential damage to the home’s foundation. At Eagle Eye Leak Detection LLC., we recognize the serious implications of slab foundation leaks for your property. That’s why we utilize state-of-the-art technology, including acoustic sensors and thermal imaging, to precisely locate leaks. Our advanced methods eliminate the need for disruptive digging or drilling, offering peace of mind and cost savings.

Signs you may have a slab leak

● Unexplained high water bills

● Cracks in your floors or walls

● Hearing the sound of running water when all taps are turned off

● Mildew

● Wet spots or hot spots

These symptoms can indicate a leak beneath your slabs foundation that requires a professional leak detection to locate the leak.
What steps should I take if I suspect a slab leak but can’t observe any visual indicators?

If there are not visual indicators of a slab leak a meter test is the next best step.

1. Locate Your Water Meter: Typically, water meters are located near the curb outside your home
2. Note the Current Reading: Take note or a picture of the current reading displayed on the meter. This reading represents your water usage up to that point.
3. Turn Off Water Usage: Ensure that no water is being used inside or outside your home. This includes faucets, toilets, showers, sprinkler systems, etc. Make sure all appliances that use water are turned off.
4. Observe the Meter: Look at the meter’s display. If there’s a leak, even a small one, the meter’s dial may be spinning. This movement indicates water flowing through the meter when it shouldn’t be, suggesting a leak.
5. Wait and Recheck: Keep an eye on the meter for a few minutes (usually around 15 minutes). If the reading changes despite no water usage, it’s likely there’s a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.

Keep in mind that while a meter test can confirm an active leak on the property, it doesn’t conclusively identify it as a slab leak. Other types of leaks, like those in the pool, main line, irrigation system, or even unidentified sources, could be the culprit. That’s why reaching out to Eagle Eye Leak Detectors for non-invasive leak detection is crucial, saving you from unnecessary disruption to your front yard landscape.
