IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Symptoms are clues, not a diagnosis
A high water bill, damp floor, warm patch, musty odor, or sound of running water may have different causes. Record what you notice and share it with a qualified professional.
When water is actively escaping or damage is worsening, seek prompt professional help. Only use a main shutoff if you can identify and operate it safely.
HOMEOWNER CHECKLIST
What to record before you call
Small details can make a professional assessment more useful.
When it began
Note the date, time, rooms affected, and whether the signs are constant or intermittent.
What changed
Keep recent water bills and safely observed meter readings. Do not dismantle equipment or enter unsafe areas.
What you need explained
Ask about test findings, repair choices, expected disruption, written pricing, and restoration responsibilities.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Slab leak questions homeowners often ask
Start with the facts, then confirm your situation with a qualified professional.
What should I do first?
Write down what you noticed, when it started, and whether water use or the meter behavior changed. Avoid opening floors or walls just to look for a leak.
Can these symptoms confirm a slab leak?
No. Warm flooring, damp areas, odors, or higher water use can have several causes. Testing and an on-site assessment are needed to identify the source.
Should I wait if water is actively leaking?
If damage is increasing or water is actively escaping, contact a qualified professional promptly. Use a main shutoff only if you can safely identify and operate it.
What repair options might be discussed?
Depending on findings, a professional may discuss a localized repair, rerouting, or repiping. Ask why the option fits your specific plumbing layout and what restoration may be needed.
