Can a Slab Leak Cause Foundation Problems?

In this design, water directly flows into the slab, forming cracks that leak into the foundation and shift the soil. Erosion weakens the foundation substantially. So yes, foundation repairs must occur.

Most people take their foundation for granted. After all, it’s not like a dishwasher or toilet repair that stops one household function in a direct and obvious way.

A foundation repair might seem sudden, but the damage that caused it usually happens over time, minus human error or a storm disaster. The erosion that caused this damage has been going on for a long time, unnoticed. Eventually, the water pressure changes, affecting your showers and toilets. The walls can crack, and the floors might bulge or sink, signifying foundational problems.

How to Repair a Slab Leak

If you’re wondering how to repair a slab leak, you shouldn’t do it yourself. Only professionals like our team of technicians at Day & Night have the experience, knowledge, skills, and tools, to handle this undertaking.

That’s because a slab repair leak entails underground issues that are hard to locate and visualize. Only a professional plumber can look at what’s happening and determine what needs to be done to fix it. You never want to skimp on a slab leak repair because it could cause injuries and property damage, resulting in astronomical costs.

Slab leak repairs are one of the more expensive plumbing jobs, but the money it saves you is worth the investment. You could lose your home from this kind of damage if you ignore it. If it’s not repaired correctly, it will affect your ability to live comfortably or sell your house down the road.

You should also think about how insurance will handle the issue.

Insurance often refuses to cover any event it thinks the homeowner caused. An insurance company will more than likely look at a situation like this as neglect, claiming improper plumbing maintenance caused the damage. This is one reason to schedule annual plumbing inspections and maintenance.

A slab leak repair includes many considerations, such as how and when to proceed. Our plumbers will make sure you understand what each option means because it can change the function and look of your property. It will also affect the repair time.

Here are the four options Day & Night offers for a slab leak repair. Most homeowners don’t qualify for all of them due to the extent of the problem, the home’s design, and other factors. You can count on our expert plumbers to be honest about which option works best for you.

Breaking Through the Slab

If you decide to break through the slab, you will have to find a place to stay while our professionals complete the work. It is the most direct way to fix the problem, but cracking the concrete takes a lot of effort, increasing the cost of materials, labor, and time. Breaking the concrete occurs inside your home, which damages your flooring. Before doing this, you’d need to find out if you can replace the flooring in sections or if any damage to it means installing a completely new floor.

You might want to move some of the big-ticket items, like your television, but you can’t move everything due to weight and other factors.

Installing Above-Ground Plumbing

Consider this: some leaks that cause major problems aren’t that big. They might only affect a small section of the pipe.

If this is the case, digging everything up takes too much time, costs too much, and makes no sense. The best solution is to reroute the pipes above ground.

However, this can mean rerouting the entire system above ground. If you put the pipes above ground, you can avoid renting a hotel or staying with family or friends while the work gets done. The water flows the same until the new pipes are ready.

Tunneling Beneath the Slab

Tunneling beneath the slab means the plumbing stays on, and work happens outside of your house. This means you can stay at home while we work.

This option also protects your home’s belongings and costs less than the other options. Not having to worry about replacing items or clean-up means less stress.

We dig tunnels without hiring a third-party contractor because we have the expertise, tools, and safety gear to handle this important job. We aren’t afraid to dig as far as needed, constructing a tunnel with enough room for a technician to work comfortably and efficiently.

This option requires removing soil, so we will replace it after we’re done to ensure the integrity of the job and your home.

Trenchless Piping

Trenchless piping provides easy access for future maintenance and repairs. This is a great solution for pipes hidden by a concrete slab. The first thing we do is remove the dirt and grime that degraded the pipe.

Next, we coat the broken line with a liner, and this coating hardens into the new pipe. The lining sets in a few hours. It’s a dependable, quick fix.
