Signs You Have a Slab Leak

Unlike a dripping faucet, a slab leak is hidden. If left unaddressed, it can wash away the soil beneath your home, leading to foundation cracks or shifting. Watch for these warning signs of a water leak under foundation Gainesville:

1. High Water Bills

A sudden, unexplained spike in your water bill is often the first sign of a slab leak. Because the water is leaking directly into the ground or the gravel bed beneath your slab, you won’t see a puddle, but your meter will keep spinning.

2. Hot Spots on the Floor

If a hot water line under your slab breaks, the heat will eventually transfer through the concrete and your flooring. If you feel a warm patch on your tile or laminate, it’s a classic indicator of a hot-side slab leak.

3. Sounds of Running Water

When the house is quiet, listen closely. If you hear a persistent hissing or rushing sound coming from beneath the floor, water is escaping under pressure from a pipe.

4. Cracks in Walls or Flooring

As the leaking water saturates the ground, the soil can expand or contract, causing your foundation to "heave." This leads to cracks in your drywall, baseboards, or floor tiles.

Our Expert Slab Leak Repair Solutions

In the old days, plumbers would just start jackhammering floors. At Jet Reeves Plumbing, once a leak is identified, we use a much smarter approach to slab leak repair in Gainesville FL to minimize the damage to your home.

Direct Spot Repair

If your pipes are generally in good condition, we can perform a "direct access" repair. We carefully open a small section of the slab exactly where the leak is, replace the broken section of pipe, and properly restore the foundation.

Full Pipe Rerouting

Often the most recommended and permanent solution. Rerouting involves completely abandoning the leaking line under the slab and safely running a new, modern water line through your walls or attic.

Trenchless Pipe Re-lining

In certain scenarios, we can apply an advanced epoxy lining to the inside of the existing pipe. This completely seals the leak from within, creating a new pipe-within-a-pipe without any digging required.

Post-Repair Testing

After any slab leak repair is completed, we meticulously test your entire plumbing system's pressure to guarantee the fix is secure and that no secondary leaks exist anywhere else on the property.

A major slab leak can dump hundreds of gallons of water under your home every hour. This is a plumbing emergency that can't wait.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Everything you need to know about our slab leak repair services.

1. How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Check your water meter while all faucets are off. If the dial is still moving, you have a leak. If you also have hot spots on the floor or a spike in your bill, it’s likely a slab leak.
2. What causes a slab leak in Gainesville, FL?
Common causes include "electrolysis" (a chemical reaction between copper pipes and the soil), high water pressure, and the shifting of the sandy Florida soil.
3. Is slab leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?
Typically, insurance covers the "cost of access" (opening the slab) and the "restoration of the home," but not the plumbing repair itself. We can work with your adjuster to provide the necessary documentation.
4. How much does it cost to fix a leak under a concrete slab?
Costs vary depending on whether we do a localized spot repair, an epoxy relining, or a full pipe reroute. We will provide a detailed, upfront quote for the repair before any work begins.
5. Will you have to break my floors to fix a slab leak?
Not always! By rerouting the pipe through your walls or attic, or utilizing trenchless relining, we can often bypass or fix the leak without touching your floors at all.
