Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Brentwood, CA
You do not need to see water to have a leak under the floor. If a few of these sound familiar, it is time to have the lines tested.
A warm tile that should not be
A leaking hot line heats the concrete above it. One homeowner measured 90°F there against 73°F elsewhere.
Damp carpet with no spill
Moisture that wicks up at a baseboard, with no plumbing fixture nearby, is often coming from below.
Tiles that crack in a line
A new hairline crack, or a tile that rocks underfoot, deserves a look before it spreads.
Puddles near the slab outside
A wet patch along the foundation line in dry weather.
Baseboards swelling or staining
Trim that darkens or bulges at floor level.
Water heater that never rests
It fires again and again because the hot water it makes is escaping.
Recognise a couple of these? Arrange slab leak detection in Brentwood, CA now, while the damage below the floor is still small.
