Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Galveston, TX
Most leaks under a slab give themselves away long before water shows at the surface. These are the clues homeowners in Galveston tend to notice first.
A warm tile that should not be
Walk the room barefoot. A warm stripe or spot, especially near the kitchen or bath, points at a hot line.
A wet edge along the wall
Moisture that wicks up at a baseboard, with no plumbing fixture nearby, is often coming from below.
Tiles that crack in a line
Water washing soil out from under a slab can let it settle, and hard flooring shows it first.
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 Galveston, TX now, while the damage below the floor is still small.
