What Causes A Slab Leak

When a home is built on a slab foundation, the water lines are installed and stubbed up before the concrete is poured. Once the concrete cures, the house can be framed, and the plumbing lines installed throughout the home’s walls and ceilings. The majority of the piping runs under the concrete, but it does cross the concrete plane to enter your home in several places. And if the concrete foundation or the pipes shift, that can create stress on the lines and develop cracks.

When it comes to Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Boise, Id. Older slab homes can also develop slab leaks as the pipe becomes old and brittle. It is often best to consider repiping rather than a single repair for a long-term solution to the slab leaks in these cases. But regardless of the cause of the water leak under your home, the vital step is finding the leak and stopping the flow of water under your home’s foundation.

Making The Slab Leak Repair

You will be very relieved to know that several processes can be used to repair many slab leaks. And not all of these methods require us to damage your home’s flooring or foundation.

  1. The first option is entirely non-invasive, at least for the inside of your home. In this instance, we tunnel under the foundation to reach the leak and repair it. This method’s only requirement is that the leak is located reasonably close to the foundation’s edge. It is not safe for us to dig under the concrete to the center of your home. But a tunnel near the border will not risk any damage to your foundation. Once the leak has been repaired and pressure-tested, we replace the soil and base material being careful to pack and tamp it into place correctly.
  2. For the second option, we don’t repair the leaking pipe at all. Instead, we abandon the damaged pipe and run a new supply line to service that part of your home. The new line is often run through your home’s attic and then down the inside of a wall to reach the connection point. While this does require us to open a few holes in walls or ceilings, it eliminated the need to tear up your floors or any of your home’s foundation. And you will never need to worry about another slab leak from the abandoned pipe.
  3. Our final option is used when we cannot dig to the leak or replace the pipe completely. For this repair, we must remove a small section of flooring and concrete to access the leak. Once we have completed the repair and pressure-tested it and the rest of the pipe, we begin the concrete repair. In just a day or two, the concrete patch has your foundation fixed and back to being as reliable as ever.
