After we have gathered all of the needed information from you, we will get started by pinpointing the location of the leak. Your specialist will start by assessing fixtures, sinks, irrigation systems and pool systems to rule out any leaks from those sources.
Then, your ABC plumber may evaluate the water manifolds within your wall, carefully checking each water supply line to determine whether there is a leak coming from one of these lines. Your plumbing specialist may also use ground microphones and acoustic discs to help hear through the concrete slab. These tools will help us determine whether you have a slab leak if we can’t detect a problem elsewhere.

Where might I have a water leak?
When you think about all of the water-consuming appliances on your property, you realize there are quite a few places where water could be leaking, including:
- Water supply lines
- Toilets
- Faucets and hose spigots
- Showers and tubs
- Washing machines
- Dishwashers
If your leak is in a water supply line or in a connection that is out of sight, it can be extremely difficult to identify the source of the problem without contacting a professional. The specialists at ABC have specialized tools that allow us to troubleshoot your plumbing issue and advise you on the best next steps.
What is a slab leak, and why do they occur?
In most cases, a slab leak occurs after copper pipes have slowly corroded over time. This problem typically starts as a pinhole leak which becomes bigger and bigger. Another reason a slab leak might develop is if the water in your area is particularly hard. The harder your water is, the faster your pipes can corrode. If a slab leak is ignored, the soil around your home can become saturated with water, which can result in water damage, mold growth and even pest problems.
Signs you have a slab leak include:
- A large spike in your water bill
- Water pooling around the foundation of your home
- Damp floors
- Cracks developing in your sheetrock or ceiling
- Abnormally low water pressure
- Difficulty closing windows and doors properly
If you are experiencing one or more of these signs, contact a professional. Because this is a serious plumbing problem, this is something you should get resolved promptly so you can avoid further damage.

“Dustin, the plumbing services department manager, and Santiago, Plummer, were fantastic to work with. Santiago repaired a water pipe leak in the garage and he was communicative during the repair process and respectful to the property. During the repair process, there was a small issue that couldn't get fixed so Dustin took over and resolved it on his own. Thank you and I highly recommend the ABC plumbing.”
