Slab Leak Detection

One method our techs use to find slab leaks is a thermal imaging camera. This specialized camera detects subtle temperature differences in the slab. When warm water leaks under the slab, it creates a hot spot that the camera can identify. Our techs are experts at using and interpreting thermal camera imaging. They can pinpoint the exact location of the leak so the slab can be accessed and repaired.

Turbo Home Services technicians also use advanced ground microphones placed at various points on the slab to detect leaks. These sensitive microphones can pick up the faint sounds of water running under the concrete. The techs then analyze the audio to triangulate the source of the leak. This allows them to zero in on the problem area quickly before breaking up the slab.

Once a potential leak is identified with cameras or microphones, our technicians can confirm it through dye testing. They inject specialized dye into the plumbing system then use an ultraviolet light to detect traces of the dye seeping up through cracks in the slab. The presence of the dye verifies the source of the leak so the slab can be opened precisely in that spot for repairs.

Attempting slab leak repairs without professional leak detection is risky. You may break up the wrong sections of the slab or miss the leak altogether. Our accurate techniques like thermal imaging, ground microphones, and dye testing protect your foundation from unnecessary damage. We provide complete slab leak investigation services before moving forward with any repairs.

No two slab leak situations are exactly alike. That’s why Turbo Home Services technicians use a combination of state-of-the-art methods to conduct a thorough investigation. Thermal cameras, ground microphones, and dye tests together provide complete, precise leak detection so we can pinpoint problems and recommend the right solutions. Trust our team to accurately locate slab leaks before they threaten your home’s structural integrity.
