Slab leaks are often difficult to detect because they happen out of sight and can go unnoticed for months or even years. However, there are some signs you should watch for that indicate a potential slab leak:

unexplained increases in your water bill

  • warm spots on your floor
  • damp carpet
  • the sound of running water when all faucets are turned off

    Ignoring these signs can lead to devastating consequences.

    Water from a slab leak can seep into your home's foundation, causing structural damage that can be incredibly costly and time-consuming to repair. It can also cause mold growth, which poses health risks for you and your family.

    Now you might be thinking, "Well, if I have a slab leak, I'll just tear up my floor and fix the pipe." But this is where Genzel Plumbing Company comes in.
