SLAB LEAKS REPAIR & REPLACEMENT

Old and unmaintained pipes are susceptible to dangerous leak points, which can negatively affect business operations.  Slab leaks are caused by a waterline leak below your building’s concrete foundation (or “slab”), leading to:

• Disruption to your business.
• Downtime for your water system (detrimental to food-services and manufacturing organizations).
• Costly water damage to your business’s flooring, walls and piping system.

In the event of a slab leak, call a professional plumber immediately to assess your situation and quickly recommend a solution.

Symptoms of a Slab Leak

Avoid damage to your business by watching for signs of a slab leak.

• Walls: Wet spots, stains and cracks.
• Floors: Wet spots and stains, warped hardwood, moldy carpets or spots that buckle.
• Warm spots: Check your floor for heated areas (common for radiant heating systems, where hot water leaks underneath the concrete slab).
• Foundation: Water leaking through building foundation.
• Sound: The sound of running water, even when water is turned off.
• Water pressure: Low water pressure and sudden increase in water bill.

Rapid dial movement on your water meter indicates a subterranean leak. If you notice a lot of movement with your dial within a few minutes, contact a plumber immediately to avoid further disruption to your business.
