What is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak is a leak in a water pipe that runs under the home’s concrete foundation. These leaks are troublesome because they’re not immediately apparent and can cause significant damage before the homeowner becomes aware.

Here are the most common causes of slab leaks in Philadelphia, PA.

• Corrosion: Over time, pipes, especially ones made from copper or galvanized steel, can corrode, leading to tiny holes or cracks and leaks.
• Abrasion: Pipes running through or under a slab can experience abrasion if they come into contact with concrete or gravel, which causes them to wear out and eventually leak.
• Pressure: Excessive water pressure can put stress on pipes to the point where they rupture. Additionally, shifting soil can create pressure, leading to leaks.
• Poor Construction: If the pipes were improperly installed during construction or the plumber used low-quality materials, they can cause premature failure.
• Age: Over time, most pipe materials will degrade. Older homes with original plumbing are at higher risk of slab leaks due to the pipe’s age.
