The Premier Slab Leak Repair Experts in Olympia, WA
Detecting a tiny leak in an exposed water pipe is tough enough when it's above ground. However, things get much more difficult when the leak is located beneath the slab of concrete on which your home is built.
Even once you locate the leak, you'll still need to dig through a foot of concrete and dirt to repair it. If you want to be sure the job gets done right the first time, contact us at Brooks Plumbing Co. We even offer same-day services when you call our emergency hotline!
What Exactly is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is when you have a water, drain, or sewer line that's leaking below your concrete slab. This is especially common in older homes, barns, garages, and other residential structures with galvanized, copper, or cast iron pipes.
Why are Slab Leaks So Tough to Fix?
Slab leaks are a homeowner's and plumber's worst nightmare, because they're impossible to see with the naked eye. Even if you have a good idea of where the leak is, you'll need to remove the flooring and sub-flooring in your home, chip through a foot of concrete, and dig through dirt to access it.
The Slab Leak Repair Process
At least, that's how many other plumbers locate and repair slab leaks. At Brooks Plumbing Co., however, we use a more refined and effective way to fix a slab leak. Here's how it works:
- We use leak detection technology to pinpoint the location of the leak.
- We will then dig an access hole outside your home to get to your plumbing system.
- Next, we employ trenchless pipe repair methods, such as pipe bursting or pipe lining.
- We will determine which method to use based on the severity of the leak and the type of pipe that's leaking.
The long and short of it, however, is that our slab leak repair process is fast, effective, and minimally invasive!
