Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Handling Leaks Under Concrete Foundations in Greater Vancouver
Slab leaks — leaks in pipes running beneath your concrete foundation — are among the most challenging and destructive plumbing problems. They often go undetected for long periods, causing significant damage before anyone notices.
Why Slab Leaks Are Common in Our Area
Many homes in Greater Vancouver have copper or poly pipes running under the slab. Over decades, these pipes can corrode, shift with soil movement, or develop pinhole leaks due to our soil conditions and seismic activity.
Warning Signs of a Slab Leak
- Sudden increase in water usage on your bill
- Warm spots on the floor (especially with hot water lines)
- Low water pressure without explanation
- Cracks in walls or floors that appear suddenly
- Musty smell or mold growth near baseboards
- Wet areas or soggy carpet in rooms with no obvious source
How We Detect Slab Leaks
Modern technology allows us to locate slab leaks with minimal disruption:
- Acoustic listening equipment to hear water escaping
- Thermal imaging to detect temperature differences
- Pressure testing of isolated zones
- Tracer gas or video inspection when needed
Repair Options for Slab Leaks
- Pipe Rerouting — Running new lines around the slab (often preferred)
- Trenchless Repair — Less invasive methods when possible
- Direct Access — Careful removal of concrete only where necessary
Prevention for Future Slab Leaks
- Regular leak detection inspections in older homes
- Proper water pressure regulation
- Addressing soil movement or drainage issues around the foundation
Don’t Let a Slab Leak Cause Major Damage
Early detection is the key to minimizing disruption and protecting your home’s foundation.
