Slab leaks are sneaky and often slow to reveal themselves. They occur when foundations shift, causing the water and sewer pipes encased within the concrete to crack or disjoint. Water or sewage then seeps into the foundation cracks and moves up into the house, or down into the subsoil.

If left unchecked, even a small slab leak can grow into a costly repair, or worse, a home restoration headache. Slab leaks can damage floors, walls and furnishings, but that’s not all. The water from a slab leak can erode underlying soil and further damage or even collapse foundations.
