Signs of a Slab Leak
- Unexplained increase in water bill: A sudden spike in your water usage without a change in habits is a red flag.
- Warm spots on the floor: If you notice areas on your floor that are warmer than others, it could indicate a hot water pipe leak.
- Cracks or bulges in the floor or walls: These signs suggest that water is accumulating beneath the concrete.
- Musty or moldy smell: A damp environment can lead to mold growth.
- Sound of running water: If you hear the sound of water running even when all faucets are off, it's a strong indicator of a leak.
A slab leak is a serious plumbing issue where a water pipe underneath your concrete foundation develops a leak. This can cause significant damage to your home if left undetected or unrepaired. Leak Wranglers Plumbing can detect and locate your leak, and advise your options for repair.

Sewer Slab Leak Detection and Repair
A sewer slab leak is a serious issue that can lead to significant damage to your home and property. Unlike water slab leaks, sewer leaks involve wastewater, posing health risks if not addressed promptly.
Signs of a Sewer Slab Leak
- Sewer odors: A foul smell coming from drains or the foundation is a strong indicator.
- Slow drains: If drains are draining slowly or backing up, a sewer leak might be the culprit.
- Wet spots or puddles: Noticeable moisture or puddles around the foundation can signal a leak.
- Foundation cracks: Severe leaks can cause cracks or damage to the foundation.
Detecting a Sewer Slab Leak
- Sewer line camera inspection: A small camera is inserted into the sewer line to visually identify leaks and damage.
- Hydrostatic testing: The sewer line is pressurized with water to detect leaks.
Repairing a Sewer Slab Leak
- Excavation and pipe replacement: The most common approach, involving digging up the affected area to replace the damaged pipe.
