Pipe wear
Supply lines under a slab rub against concrete and soil, and joints and fittings age, until a pinhole or a failed joint opens under the floor.
Pressure and hot water
Street pressure works on every joint, and hot water lines expand and contract each day. Hot lines often fail first, which is why warm floor spots are a classic sign.
Soil movement
Clay soils swell when wet and shrink when dry, and a slab moves with them. That movement stresses pipe where it passes through concrete.

(888) 527-9134 Ask about drying the slabHow do I check for a slab leak with the water meter?
Turn off every tap, appliance and sprinkler, then watch the meter's leak indicator for several minutes. If it still moves, water is going somewhere.
Why is the floor warm in one spot?
A leak on a hot water line under the slab heats the concrete above it. Warm spots near the kitchen or a bathroom are a common sign.
Who finds and fixes the leaking pipe?
A plumber runs electronic leak detection and repairs or reroutes the pipe. The restoration team handles the water: lifting wet flooring, extraction and drying the slab and walls.
Does homeowners insurance cover a slab leak?
Many policies cover the resulting water damage and access to the pipe but not the pipe itself. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Can a slab leak wait a few days?
A leak under the slab keeps feeding water into the concrete, flooring and wall bottoms. Close the main if the meter keeps moving and get it looked at.
Slab leak soaking the floor? Get it dried out.
