As the leak is in the slab the home rests on, it often does significant damage before the homeowner learns there is a problem. This damage may affect the foundation of the home and more. Slab repair becomes essential as soon as you discover the problem to prevent additional damage and costly repairs. What should a person look for with a slab leak?

• Damage to the Floors of the Home. When the home has a slab leak, the water coming from the pipe often becomes trapped between the slab and the flooring. Homeowners assume it will make its way through the walls or flooring. While it does this most times, every homeowner must know that it can also become trapped and cause unusual bubbles or soft spots on the floors of the home.
• When you see these bubbles or soft spots, call Milestone immediately. The sooner we address the problem, the less damage will occur. Slab leaks never resolve on their own. Help from a professional plumber becomes critical.
• Unusual Moisture in the Home. Water from a slab leak often makes its way into the home through cracks and gaps. When a random pool of water appears on the floor or water stains develop on the wall, call Milestone immediately. We’ll find the problem and conduct a slab repair before more damage occurs.
• Puddles Around the Home’s Foundation When it rains, puddles often appear around the property. However, when puddles appear and it hasn’t rained, there is cause for concern. A slab leak often leads to soggy areas in the yard or driveway, so any unexplained puddle must be investigated.

If left unrepaired, slab leaks damage the foundation of the home and the yard. Call our Milestone team in Dallas to stop this damage.
