Some plumbing leaks are easy to spot. Consider leaks above the slab foundation like toilets, showers, faucets, tubs, or appliances like washing machines. When a leak is present in any of these areas it is typically visible to the naked eye. It is not hidden in a pipe that is running inside a wall, underneath the slab foundation of a home, or a sewer line buried in the yard.
When it comes to the pipes in your home that are hidden within the walls, under floors or buried in the yard it can be a much more difficult process to determine exactly where the leak is. The first and most imporant step however, is not locating the leak, rather it is confirming the presence of a leak. It is a good idea to schedule a leak detection in Rowlett if you notice any of the follow signs of a plumbing leak listed below.

Repairing a slab leak is one of the more complicated services a plumber offers. Since slab leaks are located in the pipes under the foundation, it can be difficult to access the problem area so the leaking pipe can be fixed. Two methods are used when repairing slab leaks—slab penetration and tunneling.
When slab penetration is used, a hole in the floor and foundation is made using a jackhammer. This gives a plumber access to the pipe so the repair can be made fast. However, slab penetration can be messy, and the cost of fixing the foundation and floor need to be factored in to the cost.
Tunneling involves digging a path under the foundation of a home so the leaking pipe can be reached. This method of slab leak repair is less invasive than slab penetration and if often used when there is more than one slab leak.
