Fixing Slab Leaks: Expert Tips from Clearway Plumbing & Heating

Slab leaks, though hidden beneath your home’s foundation, can cause significant damage if left undetected. At Clearway Plumbing & Heating, we understand the importance of early detection and swift repair. Here’s how you can identify and address slab leaks in your Long Island home:

Detecting Slab Leaks:

Increased Water Bills:
  • A sudden spike in your water bill without an apparent cause could indicate a hidden leak, potentially under your slab.
Hot Spots on Floors:
  • If certain areas of your floor feel unexpectedly warm, it might indicate a hot water line leak beneath the slab.
Water Meter Check:
  • Turn off all water sources and check your water meter. If it continues to show water usage, there might be a leak, possibly under the slab.
Damp or Moldy Carpet:
  • Moisture or mold under carpets or flooring, especially in areas without obvious plumbing fixtures, can signal a slab leak.
