Slab leaks are one of those plumbing problems you don’t always see right away, but they can do major damage fast. At Lowery’s Plumbing, we specialize in locating and repairing these hidden leaks before they become costly disasters.
A slab leak happens when a water line underneath the concrete foundation of your home begins to leak. One of the first signs is an unexplained spike in your water bill. You may also hear water running when everything’s turned off, or feel warm spots on the floor if the leak is on the hot water side. In some cases, you’ll notice cracks in your walls or flooring, or even pooling water along the base of your home.
If you’re seeing any of those signs, it’s time to give us a call. Slab leaks do not fix themselves, and the longer they’re left alone, the worse the damage gets.
Slab leaks can be caused by a few things. Corrosion is common in older copper or galvanized lines, especially when the soil conditions are acidic. Ground movement, poor installation, or wear and tear from water pressure can also weaken the pipe over time. Florida’s shifting soil and high water table don’t help, and homes built decades ago are more vulnerable simply because of aging infrastructure.
The key is catching the issue before it escalates. That’s where we come in.
At Lowery’s Plumbing, we use non-invasive tools to pinpoint the exact location of a slab leak without tearing up your entire floor. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to locate the problem area quickly and accurately. Once we’ve got the leak isolated, we’ll walk you through the next steps.
There’s no guesswork involved. We take the time to find the source before we start any work, saving you time, money, and stress.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fixing a slab leak. Sometimes we can reroute the pipe above ground, bypassing the damaged section completely. Other times, we’ll do a direct access repair, which involves opening the concrete, fixing the leak, and restoring the area. In more severe cases, a full repipe might be the smartest long-term fix.
We always take the least invasive route possible, and we’ll explain each option clearly so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.
We know how stressful a slab leak can be, but with the right tools and the right plumber, it doesn’t have to turn into a nightmare. We’ve helped countless families across Florida catch and fix these issues fast, with minimal disruption to their home.
If you suspect a slab leak, don’t wait. Let Lowery’s Plumbing take care of it quickly, cleanly, and professionally.
