(800) 880-2848Slab Leaks – Understanding the Hidden Danger
What Is a Slab Leak? A slab leak occurs when water or sewer lines located beneath your home’s concrete foundation break, crack, or corrode, allowing water to seep under the slab. Over time, this can lead to significant structural damage and costly repairs. At Jakobsen Restoration, we specialize in detecting and repairing slab leaks, protecting your home’s foundation and preventing further damage.
Common Causes of Slab Leaks: Slab leaks can occur for various reasons, including:
- Construction Damage: Pipes damaged during the building process.
- Improper Installation: Poorly installed pipes that weaken over time.
- Foundation Shifts: Ground movement causing stress and pipe dislocation.
- Pipe Abrasion: Friction from concrete, gravel, or other pipes.
- Corrosion: Pipes exposed to underground elements that lead to rust and leaks.

Detecting a slab leak early is crucial to preventing major damage. Look out for these signs:

- Moisture under carpets or damp flooring.
