Slab Leak Assessment — frequently asked
What are the signs of a slab leak?+
Warm or damp spots on the floor, higher water bills, the sound of running water under the floor, and new cracks in floors or walls are common signs.
Why does a slab leak need assessment?+
The leak is hidden under concrete, so the visible signs rarely point to the exact location. Assessment narrows down the area so the right repair can be planned.
