Big B’s Plumbing is your slab leak detection service for Lake Elsinore, CA. First, let’s define a slab leak. A slab leak is any leak that occurs in or under your home’s concrete slab. Most of our homes in Murrieta, Menifee, and Temecula have concrete slabs. As a homeowner, having one eye open for a slab leak is always good. By the time you notice a leak, chances are it’s been leaking for some time. The first way to catch a slab leak is on your water bill. Is your water bill unusually high? Even with a small water leak, your statement can escalate.
Spike in Your Water Bill? You Need Slab Leak Detection!
If you see a spike in your water bill, you can run a test by turning all the water off in your home. Then, check your meter to see if it continues to go up. If it climbs, you can guarantee that there is a water leak taking place. Big B’s Plumbing Company has state-of-the-art equipment to test and locate your leak.
What Are the Signs of a Slab Leak?
Here are a few warning signs that your slab leaks. First, you could see discoloration in your tiles; some may even crack. You can feel the moisture in and around your carpet. If you pull your carpet back, there may be signs of mold or the smell of mildew. If the leak is below your garage, you can see a wet, damp area on your garage floor. On linoleum floors, you’ll see the linoleum bubbling up. Finally, you’ll detect a warm spot on the floor if the leak comes from a hot water line.
In some cases, depending on the size of the leak, you can hear it. For example, you’ll hear a hissing sound or the sound of running water. Additionally, low water pressure can also be a sign. A small leak can cause thousands of gallons of water to escape over just one month. Big B’s Plumbing can tackle the problem and get your home back to normal.
