What’s a Slab Leak, Warning Signs, and What Should I Do About It?
A ‘slab leak’ is a term used to describe a water leak that has developed in the water lines beneath the concrete foundation.
Such leaks in the water lines are often a result of long-term corrosion, abrasion, foundation shifts, high water pressure, and poor installation.
Slab leaks can start from any point. They aren’t necessarily visible on the top, but since water finds the easiest path, it often hits the reinforcement.
When such leaks are present above ground, in the wall or ceiling, they are referred to as pinhole leaks.
