Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Flower Mound

CW SLAB LEAK DETECTION SERVICE

Do you think there's a slab leak in your foundation? This grave issue can lead to significant harm to your foundation. Leaky slabs only get worse with time, so fixing them immediately is imperative.

To find slab leaks, CW Service Pros uses industry-standard methods and state-of-the-art technology. Our cutting-edge equipment can locate the leak in your Flower Mound home, eliminating the need for invasive work. Here are the steps and methods we employ to fix slab leaks:

Pipe Location and Mapping

The first thing we do is find your slab leak. Using electromagnetic pipe detectors, we can precisely identify the waterlines, whether they are in the foundation of your property or under it.

Leak Location

After mapping and locating your home's pipes, we use a sound-amplification tool. This allows the plumber to amplify the sounds produced by the pipes when the system is pressurized. We hear the point at which air leaks out of the line. Sound amplification lets us pinpoint slab leaks even more precisely without digging up your foundation and yard in the hopes of finding them.

Leak Detection in Sewer Pipes

We use a sewer camera to locate leaks in your home's outgoing sewer line and drain pipes. By putting cameras inside the sewer line, we can observe the quantity, kind, and source of the leak, as well as the state of the sewer pipe around the leak area.

CW SERVICE PROS SLAB LEAK REPAIR METHODS

One of three methods will be employed to address slab leaks once the source of the leak has been located. The following factors determine the best strategy for action:

• The general condition of the pipe
• The needs and budget of your home
• Location of the leak

CW Service Pros continually aims to minimize inconvenience, regardless of our approach. We clean up after ourselves and return your house to its original state.

Tunnel Under the Slab

This is the most effective repair technique if your slab leak involves several pipes or water leaks. Access to leaks can be obtained indirectly by tunneling along or beneath the slab. This causes less dust and debris because the work is done outside or beneath your home.

Reroute the System

We can reroute the system and install new piping to exclude the leaking area. Water lines can sometimes be run through the attic rather than under the slab. Sewer pipes may occasionally be taken out from under the slab and moved around the house. Although these methods are less intrusive, they may not be viable because of the home's original framing or the lines' location in relation to your home and property line.

Break Through the Slab

We will breach the slab if the two options above are unable to treat the slab leak. Since breaking through the slab disrupts your home, it's typically a last-resort option. This process requires cutting through the foundation and floor, so the workplace is frequently dusty and noisy, and the water must be turned off. Fixing the leak might not be the best line of action in some circumstances, such as when it is beneath a wood floor and the flooring has not yet been affected, or when it is under cabinets.

Before we start, our licensed plumbers will review the best course of action to fix your slab leak. We'll always offer the best recommendation to meet your requirements and solve the issue. In addition to a written quote, the plumber will offer advice as needed.
