Slab leaks are a common plumbing problem that can cause significant damage if not detected early. If you're a McKinney homeowner, you might be wondering how to spot one and what to do about it. Well, there are two main methods for slab leak detection: thermal imaging and pressure testing.
Thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to detect temperature differences in your floors. A leak will cause a temperature change that can be seen on the camera's screen. This method is non-invasive and can pinpoint the exact location of the leak. However, it's also expensive and requires specialized equipment and trained technicians.
Pressure testing, on the other hand, is a more affordable option. It involves checking the pressure in your water lines to see if there are any leaks. This method is less precise than thermal imaging but can still detect most slab leaks. Plus, it doesn't require any special equipment or training.
