You may think that sunny Tustin, Calif. is too warm and dry to harbor hidden sources of water, but that isn’t true when it comes to the water lines running under your home. Leaks there can and do happen.
What Is A Slab Leak ?
Insurance companies and the plumbing industry use the term “slab leak” to describe a leak in the water lines underneath concrete floors inside homes. This is in contrast to “pinhole leaks,” or leaks in the water lines above the floor that produce varying amounts of water.
What Causes Slab Leaks ?
Slab leaks can have numerous causes. Improper soldering, corrosion, improperly wrapped copper, wear and tear, poor water quality and concrete eating through pipes are all potential causes of slab leaks. Other causes can lead to slab leaks as well.

Why Should I Get A Plumber?
Plumbing problems can often have hidden causes, and a plumber can provide a detailed diagnostic report to help identify the source of the problem. Plumbers not only find the cause and give you a detailed report, but they also provide you with the right options for solving the problem. A plumber completes a thorough inspection of your home to find underlying problems before beginning repairs. This is much more advantageous than trying to solve the problem yourself. Choosing a plumber helps extend the life of your plumbing and reduces costs since plumbers are more likely to get the job done right the first time.
