Slab Leak
A slab leak is the term used to describe a leak that has developed over time in the pressurized copper water lines under the concrete foundation in your home or busniess. They are caused by several various reasons such as soil conditions, age of the piping, and also electrolysis. Our team of experts can quickly identify the location of the slab leak and make necessary repairs. Leak detection equipment is often used to determine the exact location of the leak. There are a few ways to repair the pipe. There is a direct access repair which requires jackhammering of your concrete foundation and excavating to the pipe. Oftentimes direct access also caused damage to tile or wood flooring during the process. Another option would be to eliminate that one underground pipe and install a new pipe overhead through drywall and ceilings and is a more permanent solution. We recommend that at the latest you repipe your entire home overhead after your third underground leak. Regardless of your decision of how to proceed with your plumber repairs, Scott Cole Plumbing is here to help and we have the necessary tools, equipment, and experience to make permanent repairs with a lifetime guarantee!
