Slab Leak

Wolcott has been providing plumbing solutions to the Portland Metro area for more than 40 years, so we’ve pretty much seen it all, including slab leaks. Our expert plumbers use all of the latest technology to detect and repair slab leaks. If you suspect that you’ve got one, give us a call.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A SLAB LEAK?

Depending on your home’s construction, there could be a concrete slab supporting its foundation. Below that, there are pipes, and if those pipes are leaking, that’s what we call a slab leak. The water leaking from those pipes can move soil around and cause strain on the slab and the foundation above it. An undetected slab leak can cause hazardous and expensive damage.

WHAT CAUSES SLAB LEAKS?

  • Pipes that have been weakened by age or corroded by chemicals (like drain cleaner)
  • Vibrations that cause the rebar and pipes beneath the slab to shake
  • Extreme weather that can affect the ground’s structure and pressure
