Slab Leak Detection for Turbo Home Services

Detecting Hidden Dangers: Slab Leak Identification with Turbo Home Services in Houston, TX

Undetected slab leaks can cause extensive damage to your home’s foundation and lead to mold growth. As a top plumbing company in Houston, Turbo Home Services has the tools and know-how to accurately locate slab leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our team pinpoints the exact position of leaks using advanced equipment like ground microphones, thermal imaging cameras, and more.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if I have a slab leak in my home?

Signs of a possible slab leak include higher than normal water bills, moist spots or cracks in slab floors, mold or moisture in walls near slab edges, and sections of flooring lifting up. If you notice any of these issues, contact Turbo Home Services for professional slab leak detection. We have the tools to confirm or rule out a leak.

Does homeowner's insurance cover slab leak repairs?

Coverage depends on your specific policy. Some insurance covers sudden water damage events like slab leaks. But wear and tear or deterioration may not be covered. Our team can detect leaks early before major damage occurs. We can also provide any details needed to file an insurance claim.

How much does it cost to fix a slab leak?

Costs vary based on leak size, pipe location, slab demolition needed, and more. Average slab leak repairs range $4,000-$8,000 or more. Our technicians provide a detailed quote after leak detection so you know the full price. Expert detection means we repair only necessary areas.

How can I reduce costs for repiping?

Costs vary based on leak size, pipe location, slab demolition needed, and more. Average slab leak repairs range $4,000-$8,000 or more. Our technicians provide a detailed quote after leak detection so you know the full price. Expert detection means we repair only necessary areas.

How long does slab leak detection and repair take?

Detection takes 1-2 hours. Complete repairs take 1-3 days depending on leak severity. We schedule work efficiently with your needs in mind to minimize disruption. Existing kitchen and bath plumbing may be shut off temporarily during repairs.

Can you detect and repair slab leaks without breaking the concrete?

In some cases pipe repairs can be made by cutting into drywall and accessing plumbing that way. But if the leak source is under the slab, demolition is usually required to fix it properly. Our precise leak detection means we break up only small, necessary areas of the slab though.
