Slab Leak Detection and Repair. Expensive GRU bills are one of the unfortunate things about being a Gainesville resident. However, if you begin noticing your water and power bill are becoming unusually high; you may be facing a leak in the foundation of your home. A slab leak is an industry term for when water begins leaking below the concrete foundation of your home.
Slab Leak Detection and Repair
Often, the culprit is copper water pipes, which can wear easily, causing serious damage. These leaks can spread and become worse over time, if not treated. Thus, early detection and remediation are extremely important in preventing further damage.
Here are some things you should look for if you think your home has a slab leak:
- Hearing running water when all water is turned off.
- If one spot on the floor feels particularly warmer than others.
- Formation of mildew, mold or moisture underneath carpets.
- The appearance of cracks in the walls or flooring.
Slab Leak Detection and Repair
Another helpful tool is to check your water meter. How much water is being used? Every month, the average household uses around 1,500 to 3,000 gallons of water per person. If you’re using more than this amount; it is important to have a professional and licensed business test for a possible slab leak. A very small leak, only millimeters in size; can add up to seven gallons per day and your water meter will spin showing water is flowing.
