Warning Signs You Might Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks are not always obvious at first. Because the pipes run beneath your home’s concrete foundation, you often can’t see the source of the problem directly. Here are some of the more common signs that something may be wrong below the surface:

Your water bill has gone up even though you’re using the same amount of water.
You hear running water when all the faucets and fixtures in your home are off.
There are warm or hot spots on your floor, which may indicate a leak in a hot water line.
You notice cracks forming in your walls, floors, or the foundation itself.
There’s moisture, mildew, or unexplained wet areas on your flooring.
Your water pressure has dropped noticeably throughout the home.

Greer’s clay-heavy soil can shift with seasonal changes in moisture, which puts additional stress on the pipes beneath your slab over time. If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, it’s worth getting a professional opinion before the problem gets worse.

How We Find Slab Leaks

Accurately locating a slab leak matters just as much as fixing it. Without the right detection process, repairs can cause unnecessary damage to your flooring and foundation. We use non-invasive methods to pinpoint the leak before any work begins, so we only open what we need to.

Our detection process typically includes:

Electronic leak detection equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes beneath the slab.
Pressure testing to confirm a leak is present and help narrow down its location.
Thermal imaging in some cases, which can identify temperature differences caused by water moving under your floor.
A thorough walkthrough of your home to note visible symptoms and narrow the search area.

We take our time with this step because getting the location right saves you money and reduces the disruption to your home.

Your Slab Leak Repair Options

Once we’ve located the leak, we’ll walk you through the repair options that make sense for your situation. The right approach depends on where the leak is, how severe it is, and the overall condition of your plumbing.

Common repair methods we use include:

Spot repair, where we open a targeted section of the slab to access and fix the damaged pipe directly.
Pipe rerouting, which involves running a new water line through the walls or ceiling to bypass the damaged section entirely. This is often a good option when the affected pipe is in a difficult location or aging and at risk of future leaks.
Epoxy pipe lining, a trenchless method where a protective coating is applied to the inside of the pipe to seal the leak without major excavation.

We’ll explain each option clearly, give you upfront pricing, and let you make the call. No pressure, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a slab leak or just a high water bill?

A sudden spike in your water bill is one sign, but a slab leak usually comes with others, like the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on your floor, or cracks in your walls or foundation. If you’re unsure, give us a call and we can help you figure out what’s going on.

Will you have to break up my entire floor to fix a slab leak?

Not necessarily. Depending on where the leak is and what repair method makes the most sense, we may be able to fix it with minimal disruption. Options like pipe rerouting or epoxy lining can sometimes avoid major concrete work altogether.

How long does slab leak repair take?

It depends on the location and severity of the leak and the repair method used. Some repairs can be completed in a day. More involved work, like rerouting a line, may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start.

Can a slab leak cause mold?

Yes. When water collects beneath your slab or seeps up through flooring, it creates the kind of damp environment where mold can grow. Greer’s humidity makes this risk even higher, which is one reason it’s important to address a slab leak as soon as you suspect one.

Does homeowner's insurance cover slab leak repairs?

Coverage varies depending on your policy. Many policies cover the cost of accessing the leak (like breaking through the concrete) but may not cover the pipe repair itself. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. We’re happy to help document the issue if needed.
