How to Watch for Signs of a Water Leak Under Slab


Each year, Rhode Island residents lose hundreds of thousands of gallons of water to undetected slab leaks. Unfortunately, these leaks are often left unfixed until they cause serious property damage, illness, or inflated water bills. If you suspect that your home has a slab leak, do not hesitate to call Rhode Island’s slab leak experts at DiRocco Plumbing & Heating Services today at (401) 255-5218!


Signs of a slab leak include:

  • Increased water bills: If you have not increased the use of your plumbing or water usage, you should have your home inspected for a leak underneath the slab.
  • Water around or in your house: Be on the lookout for excess moisture around the floor of your home. Take note if there is water pooling in or flooding your yard.
  • The sound of running water when no fixtures are being used: Sometimes it is possible to actually hear the water running beneath your home.
  • Cracks in the walls, floors, or ceiling: If the foundation of your home has shifted enough to create cracks in the structure of your home, there is a good chance that your water lines have been cracked as well.
  • Warm spots on the floor: If the hot water line has broken, this may lead to warm spots that you can feel. You should also notice your water heater is working non-stop.
  • Humid rooms: Moisture entering the air from water leaks can make parts of the home feel humid. In this kind of environment, you may also notice mold beginning to grow.
