What is a slab leak?
Many homes in Southern California use copper piping that is buried in the large concrete foundation slab that the home is built on. Although copper is considered to be a reliable material for plumbing, holes can develop over time in these underground pipes. These holes are referred to as slab leaks. They are a difficult plumbing issue to detect because the water can seep out slowly over time into the slab where you cannot see. It is important to diagnose a slab leak as quickly as possible to minimize further damage to your property.
