Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Porter, TX
Most leaks under a slab give themselves away long before water shows at the surface. These are the clues homeowners in Porter tend to notice first.
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
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.
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.
