A simple meter check

If you are not sure whether you have a leak, your water meter can help:

  1. Turn off every faucet, fixture and water-using appliance in the house.
  2. Note the reading on your water meter, or watch its small leak indicator if it has one.
  3. Wait a while without using any water, then check the meter again.

If the meter has moved, water is escaping somewhere. That alone doesn’t prove the leak is under the slab, since a toilet that keeps refilling or a leak in the sprinkler line can do the same, which is why electronic leak detection is used to pinpoint the source before any repair is planned.

In the meantime, there are steps that you can take to manage the leak on your own. Locate your master water supply box and turn your main water valve clockwise. This will shut off all of your water so that your leak does not worsen and water is not being wasted.

Slab Leaks and Repairs

When a house is built on a slab there is always the chance that there can be a leak in the pipes that are located beneath the concrete slab foundation. Depending on your location and the kind of copper used in the construction of homes in your area (as well as the aggressiveness of your water) your home’s pipes may be prone to slab leaks or in need of repair. When damage occurs it may also affect sewer lines and therefore a sewer video inspection may be needed to do a sewer repair. No matter what the issue is, we have the bases covered. Due to the nature of slab foundations, a slab leak may not be immediately identifiable. Sometimes it is simply a matter of recognizing that your carpets or floors are inexplicably damn (even wet), but sometimes it is more subtle. Sometimes the key symptom is an unreasonably high water bill that doesn’t fit with your home’s water usage. If you are unsure as to whether or not you have a slab leak, you can call the professionals at Best Plumbing and Drains of San Diego LLC.

How is a slab leak pinpointed?

With electronic leak detection equipment, which lets the technician locate the leak point in copper piping under the slab instead of opening the floor to search for it. Once the location is known, the repair options can be discussed.

If water is visibly escaping or the meter keeps moving with everything off, turn the main water valve clockwise to shut off the supply. This keeps the leak from getting worse and stops water being wasted until the leak is located.

It can. When pipes under a slab are damaged, nearby sewer lines may be affected as well, and a sewer video inspection may be needed to check them before any sewer repair.
