Most Goose Creek homes sit on a concrete slab, which means a leak in the pipes underneath stays hidden until it starts costing you money.
What usually gives it away
- A water bill that climbs with no change in how you use it
- A warm patch on the floor, which normally means a hot water line
- Water running when everything is turned off
- Flooring that is damp or lifting in one spot
- The meter still moving with every tap closed
We find it before opening anything
Using listening equipment and thermal imaging we narrow the leak to a small area, so any concrete we open is one deliberate spot rather than a search. You should never have to break up your floors to find out where the problem is, and if that is being suggested it is fair to ask why.
What happens next
A single leak on sound pipe is a straightforward repair. If the line has already failed once and looks likely to again, running a new one overhead avoids the slab completely. Several failures usually mean the pipe itself is the problem — and in a home with polybutylene under the slab, that conversation comes up more often.
Turn the water off while you decide
A slab leak will not stop on its own and the damage adds up every day.
