What Causes a Slab Leak?

One of the most common cause of slab leaks is poor installation or pre-damage to materials during installation, such as incorrect placement of pipes or incorrect sealing. This can lead to abrasion from the concrete where the pipes run through the slab, creating cracks which eventually become holes. This can happen over time due to water expanding and contracting as it gets hot and cold, thus putting pressure on the piping and potentially causing small holes.

Soil expansion and contraction and water chemistry are two other common causes of slab leaks in homes. This is because soil movement can damage water pipes and cause further shifting while different types of water can corrode pipes due to imbalances in pH levels. In Texas, this is especially a problem as soils there tend to be heavily clay-based and thus expand more quickly when wet. As the ground swells, it can put pressure on any nearby pipes, weakening them over time until they eventually leak. On top of that, hard or acidic water can also contribute to corrosion at faster rates than soft or more neutral water. This combined with the natural swelling of the soil creates an environment where slab leaks are almost inevitable if not monitored closely. It’s important for homeowners to investigate if their house is prone to soil expansion and contraction due to its climate and location, as well as test the water for chemical content so that any risk factors can be addressed before causing damage to the plumbing system.

“Nathan is the best - great rates and fast service”
Nathan came to our home within 2 hours of our call for help - and it was a holiday weekend!!! He was thoughtful, polite, explained our issue and provided upfront and reasonable pricing. He was very knowledgeable and was able to unclog our "poorly angled" sewer line and get us back up and running again. I'm so glad my neighbor referred 1st Home and Commercial Services to us. Best service around!! Thank you Nathan - I will be telling everyone I know.
