Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Metairie, LA
A leaking line under concrete rarely floods a room. It leaves quieter evidence, and these are the clues worth taking seriously in a Metairie home.
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
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.
A musty smell indoors
Mildew odour near floors or closets with no obvious wet spot.
The meter dial turns on its own
Every fixture off, yet the small leak indicator keeps moving.
Baseboards swelling or staining
Trim that darkens or bulges at floor level.
