What other causes are behind slab leaks?
What are the warning signs of an underground slab leak?
How can I determine if I have a leak?
Are slab leaks and the resulting water damage covered under my Homeowner Insurance?
It is always best that you refer to your particular insurance policy and written coverage. However, the majority of insurance companies will not cover plumbing. They will cover the resulting water damage on the premise that the leak is a result of a sudden burst or break.
Some insurance carriers will cover the cost associated with locating, accessing and the put back of concrete involved in repairing the actual leak (they won't cover the cost associated with the actual pipe repair).
What is best? A direct repair of the slab leak via the concrete removal and repair, or a above ground pipe re-route?
It is always best to re-route or repipe the water system. If you have had one leak the chances of another leak occurring is high. By eliminating the underground piping you greatly reduce the chances of another flood to your home.

In Diamond Bar and throughout the Southern California - slab leaks are one of the most common plumbing problems. A slab leak by definition is when water pipes inside or underneath the concrete structure of a house (also known as a "slab") start leaking. A slab leak occurs when water pipes underneath a house crack or break. A slab leak starts to cause serious damage to a home when it goes unattended without being fixed or replaced with new pipes. One of the worse things that can happen is when a slab leak starts to cause damage to the structure of a home, through cracked flooring and walls. Considering how badly slab leaks can damage a home they must be first detected and then repaired immediately.

very rapidly, if you have a crack in the flooring or along the walls of your home that is getting bigger over time or has just appeared consult us immediately, as this could be the sign of a very

Wet Flooring and Mildew
If you are experiencing Mildew or wet carpets and flooring it is likely that your slab is cracked and therefore the pipes within it are leaking into your home.

Often times a sudden increase in your monthly water bills can be an indicator of a slab leak. Especially when your water consumption level has not increased above normal levels. A high water bill can
also indicate several other types of leaks such as pool and plumbing leaks.
