"We had a slab leak, however, when we tried to repair it we found that the problem got worse. Every time we close a hole, another appears." - Homeowner

Unfortunately, many homeowners don't realize they have a potential slab leak situation until some major damage occurs to the home.

Here is the exact cause of slab leaks and what can be done right now to resolve the problem in the most economical way.

 

Many homes built in the Southwest United States in the mid-eighties were built with a concrete slab foundation and soft copper water pipes under the slab.

The codes require that soft, bendable copper be used because hard copper joints are not permitted beneath the slab.

"Just put down a new floor and had a slab leak... The thought of breaking into our new floor is not a good one." - R.P. Laguna Niguel

 
Soft Copper - Cause of Slab Leaks

SOFT COPPER

Prior to pouring the concrete, the soft copper tubing is rolled out along the ground and the ends are turned up to where they will be joined to water lines running to the various parts of the house.  


THE SLAB FOUNDATION

Concrete is then poured over the pipes, sealing them beneath the slab foundation.

The soft copper tubing is prone to suffer dents and kinks during construction and this can result in a less-than-smooth surface inside the pipes.

HARD WATER

In some areas the water is unusually "hard."  The "hardness" is a combination of calcium, lime and some iron in the water.

These hard elements are abrasive to the inner surface of the pipes, as the water travels through. 



Hard Water Causes Pinhole Leaks

PINHOLE LEAKS

The slightest ridge or kink within the pipe will tend to wear down until it wears through, resulting in a crack or "pinhole leak" in the pipe.

It is usually the hot water pipe that is the first to go, since this pipe is subject to the expansion and contraction that accompanies  heating and cooling.


Concrete Slab Leak

HIGH HEATING AND WATER BILLS

When a leak occurs under the concrete slab, it is not easy to fix.  Left un-handled, it can cause floor damage and other problems, including high heating and water bills.

THE JACKHAMMER APPROACH

The quick fix is to use a leak detector to locate, within three feet, the source of the leak.  Then the carpeting, furniture, cabinets, etc. are ripped away and a jackhammer is used to break  through the concrete slab.


PATCHING THE LEAK

Once the leak is found and a patch applied, new concrete is poured and the flooring is restored.

AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS

It can be an expensive process, especially when a new leak can pop up, sometimes within days, and the whole messy, disruptive process has to be repeated.
