If you suspect a slab leak in your Franklin IN home, don’t wait. These leaks can cause costly structural damage and lead to major repairs if not addressed right away.

What Is a Slab Leak?

Many homes are built on concrete slab foundations with plumbing lines running underneath or through the slab. A slab leak occurs when one of these hidden pipes cracks or breaks, allowing water to escape under your home.

Pipes are typically installed with protective coatings to prevent damage when the ground shifts or the house settles. Over time, those coatings can wear down, or the pipes can corrode, leading to breaks and leaks.

Signs You Might Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks often start small, but early warning signs can help you catch the problem before it causes major damage. These include:

• An unexplained increase in your water bill.
• The sound of running water when no fixtures are in use.
• Cracks in walls, ceilings, or flooring.
• Damp or warm spots on floors.
• Wet or soggy carpet without another source of moisture.

If you notice any of these in your Greenwood home, it’s time to call a professional for an inspection.

How We Detect Slab Leaks

At Johnson Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we use non-invasive, state-of-the-art detection equipment to locate slab leaks with pinpoint accuracy. This means less unnecessary damage to your home and a faster path to repairs. Our process may include:

• Acoustic listening devices to detect water movement.
• Specialized pipe locators.
• Thermal imaging to identify temperature changes caused by hot water leaks.

Expert Repairs You Can Trust

Once we’ve found the leak, our plumbers provide targeted repairs designed to last. Depending on your situation, we may:

• Repair the damaged pipe directly by accessing it through the slab.
• Reroute plumbing lines to avoid problem areas.
• Use trenchless methods when possible to limit disruption.

Most slab leak repairs require removing no more than a small section of flooring, often as little as a single tile.
