What Is a Slab Leak?
Understanding This Hidden Plumbing Hazard
PA slab leak occurs when water lines running beneath a home’s concrete foundation develop leaks. These leaks can be caused by corrosion, poor installation, abrasion from shifting ground, or natural aging of pipes. Because they happen below ground, slab leaks often go unnoticed until serious damage is done.
If left unchecked, slab leaks can lead to high water bills, mold growth, structural deterioration, and extensive repair costs. Early detection is critical to avoid long-term problems. At Pressure Plumbing, we specialize in identifying and repairing slab leaks using proven methods and advanced technology to protect your home and your peace of mind.
How Slab Leaks Are Detected
Detecting a slab leak requires more than just a keen eye—it takes professional-grade equipment and experience. Our team uses non-invasive methods like electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, and acoustic listening devices to locate leaks with pinpoint accuracy.
Rather than guesswork or unnecessary demolition, our approach saves time, money, and damage to your property. We assess the entire plumbing system, identify the leak’s exact location, and provide a detailed explanation of the findings so you can make an informed decision about the next steps.
Our Slab Leak Repair Process
Once a slab leak is confirmed, our expert technicians review the best repair options tailored to your specific situation. Depending on the severity and location, we may recommend direct access repair, pipe rerouting, or epoxy pipe lining. Each solution is designed to resolve the leak efficiently and prevent future problems.
Direct access repair involves carefully opening the foundation at the leak site and replacing the damaged pipe section. Pipe rerouting bypasses the damaged area altogether by running new lines through walls or ceilings, reducing the risk of future underground leaks. Epoxy lining is a trenchless option where a protective coating is applied inside the pipes, sealing leaks without excavation.
Our goal is to minimize disruption while maximizing long-term performance and peace of mind. With Pressure Plumbing, you’re in skilled hands from start to finish.

Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs
Slab Leak Symptoms Every Homeowner Should Know

A sudden drop in water pressure or visible cracks in walls or flooring can also point to a hidden leak.
