Slab Leak Signs, Detection, and First Steps

A slab leak hides under your floor—silent but pricey if left unchecked. Feeling a warm spot or hearing water echo in your tile? You might be seeing early slab leak signs. Catch them early and you’ll save time, stress, and money.

Slab Leak in AZ – What You Might See or Feel

You may notice:

• A patch of floor that feels noticeably warm

• Sounds of running water when everything’s off

• Rising water bills with no obvious drips

• Damp carpets or grout changes around drains
  Warmth is especially suspect in tile-heavy Arizona homes, where heat isn’t common underfoot. Any of these can signal a leak inside the slab—and every hour of delay can widen the damage.

How Slab Leak Detection Works (Without Breaking Concrete)

We use three key tools:

• Thermal imaging to scan for heat trails

• Acoustic listening devices that “hear” pipe leaks beneath the floor

• Meter checks with the house shut down; a spinning zero means something’s circulating underground
  All without jackhammering. Once we pinpoint the leak, a small trench or batch restoration fixes it—without a full-floor demo.

Your First Smart Move

1. Call a pro to diagnose, not demo.

2. Shut off the water and monitor the meter if you suspect a leak.

3. Document any visual clues (wet spots, stains) for yourself and your insurer.

Slab Leak – Why Quick Action Pays Off

Each day of leakage can soak the subfloor, weaken foundation soil, and raise restoration scope from a patch to a remodel. Hunters of moisture don’t just dry it—they stop it fast.
