Warning signs
When to Book Slab Leak Detection in Seaside, CA
A leaking line under concrete rarely floods a room. It leaves quieter evidence, and these are the clues worth taking seriously in a Seaside home.
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
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.
