Slab Leak Detection & Repair

A hidden water leak beneath your concrete foundation can cause extensive damage before you even know it’s there. At Gilbert Plumbing Company, we offer precise slab leak detection & repair services for homeowners in Gilbert, AZ. Using advanced tools and proven techniques, we identify the source of the leak and provide long-term solutions that protect your home’s structure.

What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when a water line running beneath your home’s concrete slab foundation becomes cracked, corroded, or otherwise compromised. These leaks can slowly erode soil, weaken the foundation, and cause mold growth or structural damage if left untreated.

Signs You Might Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks are often hidden, but they leave behind clues. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call us for an inspection:

  • Sudden increase in your water bill
  • Warm or damp spots on your floor
  • Cracks in walls or flooring
  • Sound of running water when pipes are off
  • Mildew or musty odors

If you’re unsure whether the issue lies under the foundation or elsewhere, our leak detection services can pinpoint the location without tearing up your home.

How We Detect and Repair Slab Leaks

We use non-invasive technology to identify the exact source of the leak and recommend the most effective solution.

Step Process Description
Electronic Leak Detection Finds pressure drops and moisture under the foundation
Infrared Scanning Locates temperature changes caused by escaping water
Camera Inspection Visual confirmation inside plumbing lines
Targeted Repair Options Rerouting, epoxy lining, or pipe replacement

In urgent situations, we’re also available for emergency plumbing services to stop active flooding or foundation damage quickly.

What Causes Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks can be caused by a number of issues, including:

  • Corrosion from hard water
  • Shifting soil or settling foundation
  • Poor installation or aging pipes
  • Abrasion from constant pipe movement
  • High water pressure

We’ll help you determine the cause and recommend preventive steps to avoid future damage—like water softener installation to reduce mineral buildup in your lines.
