What Are Slab Leaks?
Slab leaks occur when a water line is damaged, cracked, or broken. The water may leak into the foundation of your home, yet the cause of the leak is often invisible. If a water line becomes excessively hot or cold, it can expand or contract until a crack appears. By the time a homeowner discovers the slab leak, extensive damage may have already occurred. Locating the leak is a complicated task for the untrained person. Many slab leaks are within layers of concrete which make them difficult to reach.
There are several common causes for slab leaks. Detecting, locating and repairing leaks usually require the assistance of a trained plumber in Carlsbad. This expert can detect the location of the leak and inform the homeowner about the cause of the specific slab leak.
Common Causes For Slab Leaks
-
Corrosion
– When a chemical reaction in the pipe is involved, corrosion may occur. This usually happens when the water in the pipe is exposed to corrosive chemicals. The result is often a loss of water pressure as water leaks through the pipe. Many pipes in older homes used galvanized or copper pipes; these type of pipes are more prone to corrosive damage.
-
Vibrations
– Water pressure can cause the pipes to vibrate. This vibration can increase the amount of movement in the pipes, especially where the joints are weak. Any change to the water temperature within the pipe can also cause the metal to expand or contract. Both of these changes may cause a water pipe to crack, which starts the leaking.
-
Poor Pipe Construction
– Water lines need proper insulation with high-quality structural supports underneath the concrete slab. A poorly constructed pipe is susceptible to damage by corrosion, vibration and temperature fluctuation. There is a high probability that the line will crack and leak.
