Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Colton, 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.
One patch of floor runs warm
A leaking hot line heats the concrete above it. One homeowner measured 90°F there against 73°F elsewhere.
Damp carpet with no spill
Carpet that stays damp at the tack strip, or pad that smells musty, often sits over a slow leak.
Cracked or lifting tile
A new hairline crack, or a tile that rocks underfoot, deserves a look before it spreads.
Baseboards swelling or staining
Trim that darkens or bulges at floor level.
Water sounds with everything off
A faint hiss or trickle in a wall or under the floor at a quiet hour.
Hot water running short
Showers go lukewarm sooner than they used to.
Recognise a couple of these? Arrange slab leak detection in Colton, CA now, while the damage below the floor is still small.
