Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Slab leaks are one of the most serious and costly plumbing issues homeowners in South Florida can face. Often hidden beneath the foundation, these leaks can go undetected for months, gradually causing structural damage and costly repairs. At Magical Plumbing, we specialize in professional slab leak detection and repair services throughout Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Our team is trained to identify and resolve these complex issues quickly and effectively, minimizing disruption and preventing further damage.
The Magical Plumbing Touch
At Magical Plumbing, we specialize in non-invasive slab leak detection. Our experienced plumbing technicians use advanced tools and proven techniques to accurately locate the source of the leak without unnecessary disruption to your home.
Our Slab Leak Detection Tools Include:
Thermal Imaging
Leak detection with a thermal camera works effectively for identifying hot water line leaks. Our infrared camera detects temperature variations that help us locate the problem area beneath your flooring.
Once we’ve identified the exact location of your slab leak, we’ll walk you through the best repair options based on your home’s layout, your preferences, and your budget. Depending on what we find and what is decided upon, we’ll use one of the following slab leak repair methods:
1. Slab Leak Pipe Rerouting
Instead of digging into your slab, we may bypass the leaking section entirely by rerouting new piping through walls or the attic. This minimizes disruption and helps prevent future slab issues.
2. Trenchless Pipe Repair
Where accessible, we insert a liner coated in epoxy resin into the damaged pipe via a small access point. This creates a new pipe within the old one—ideal for minimizing structural disruption. Note: this option is only feasible in select cases.
3. Full Pipe Replacement
If the entire system is deteriorated, a complete replacement may be the most reliable long-term solution. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure the new installation meets the needs of your home.
What Is A Slab Leak?
A slab leak occurs when a water line beneath your home’s concrete foundation cracks, corrodes, or fails. This allows water to escape into the soil and eventually affect your home’s foundation. In South Florida, shifting sandy soil and a humid climate can worsen the issue, as the ground expands and contracts around the pipes. Other contributing factors include high water pressure, pipe corrosion, and poor initial installation.
Signs You May Have A Slab Leak
Slab leaks are often hidden beneath your home’s foundation, making early detection critical to avoid costly damage. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to call a plumbing company:
- Unexplained sounds of running water
- Increase in your water bill
- Warm or damp spots on your floor
- Water pooling around your home’s foundation
