What Causes Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks occur when pipes beneath your home’s foundation crack, corrode, or break, leading to water seepage that can damage floors, walls, and structural integrity. Here are the most common causes:

  • Corrosion – If copper pipes come into contact with steel reinforcement rods or have an unbalanced pH, they can corrode over time, leading to leaks.
  • High Water Pressure – Poor pipe installation, shifting soil, or underground stress can cause cracks or pinhole leaks.
  • Abrasion – Constant water movement causes pipes to rub against concrete or gravel, eventually leading to wear and tear.
  • High Water Table – In areas prone to heavy rains, underground water can seep into slabs, increasing pressure on your plumbing system.

Left untreated, slab leaks can cause serious damage, including mold growth, foundation instability, and expensive repairs. Early detection is key!

Signs You May Have a Slab Leak

Slab leaks can go unnoticed for months—until major damage appears. Look for these warning signs:

  • Unexplained High Water Bills – A sudden spike in your water usage with no clear reason.
  • The Sound of Running Water – Hearing water moving through pipes when no faucets are on.
  • Hot Spots on the Floor – Warm areas on tile, wood, or carpet, often caused by leaks in hot water lines.
  • Moisture or Mold Growth – Damp floors, mildew under carpets, or bubbling linoleum are signs of underground water seepage.
  • Cracks in Flooring or Walls – Long-term water exposure can cause tile cracks and foundation issues.

If you notice any of these issues, don’t ignore them! Call Atherton Plumbing for a professional inspection.

Where Are Slab Leaks Found?

Slab leaks typically develop in two main areas:

  • Incoming Water Lines – These pipes carry pressurized water into your home, and if they leak, water can rise through small cracks, leading to flooding.
    Drainage Pipes – These leaks don’t show obvious signs right away but can erode soil, weaken foundations, and cause long-term damage.

Because slab leaks often go undetected, it’s important to have a licensed plumber inspect your home if you suspect a problem.

We had a stopped kitchen drain that came on suddenly as family dinner was being prepared. I tried plunging the blockage, but got nowhere. Using Atherton's convenient online service request form to schedule an appointment, and had a plumber here at 8 AM the next morning! Ryan was efficient, pleasant, and informative as he got to work. He was able to feed a snake through the sink drain and clear the clog, which was found about 10 feet down the pipe. He cleared the line for about 40 ft to make sure the clog was gone. He cleaned up the sink area and was gone in about 45 minutes start to finish. And the work is warranted for 90 days. We're VERY happy with the work from Atherton Plumbing.

Ryan and Atherton were awesome! The kitchen sink backed up around 6:30 the evening of 23 Dec. we had a houseful coming over for Christmas and the having no kitchen sink, disposal, or dishwasher was not part of the plan. I tried to clear it myself but no luck. Called several area plumbers and Friday was the first available for most. I finally found one that could do 12-5 on Christmas Eve and booked it. At 1:00 Christmas Eve that one called to reschedule for Friday due to an emergency job! Could not talk them into working something out. My wife told me to call Atherton because she had heard how good they were. So 1:30 Christmas Eve they booked me for a 12-4 slot! No trip charge, no premium time, just sending Ryan out. Got there around 4:00, cleaned the drain, and done. He was very personable and professional. Had a nice friendly chat and he squared us away. Price was very reasonable. Atherton will be at the top of my list next time around!

I called Atherton Plumbing randomly because my water heater’s pilot light went out and I couldn’t get it to fire back up. Initially, I spoke with Susan (I believe that was her name) who was pleasant and helpful getting emergency service set up for me. Within an hour, Jerry arrived at my home and quickly resolved the issue (as it turns out, I wasn’t doing the process correctly to get the pilot fired back up). He was very amiable and explained everything that he was doing as he did it, which I really appreciated. He additionally did a walk-through to check the shutoff valves in my house and provided me with estimates to upgrade the valves that will eventually need to be replaced. He also provided me with other quotes for other potential repairs for the future. I am not someone easily impressed, but I was definitely impressed with the level of customer service and the friendliness of Susan and Jerry. When the need arises, I will definitely reach out to Atherton again in the future!

Atherton Plumbing came through for me at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning—just five days before Christmas. Jerry inspected our sump pump and quickly identified that the switch had gone bad after 8 years on a very active system. He replaced it efficiently and was extremely thorough with the installation. I especially appreciated that Jerry wore foot covers when entering our home—such a thoughtful and professional touch. He was amazing, very gracious, and pleasant to work with, even that early on a weekend. I highly recommend Jerry for any plumbing work in your home!

Andrew and Luke ( from A-Atherton came out in 2020 and did an excellent job putting in a brand new water heater they were fast but efficient and even took the time to explain things to me. The following day after they had installed it I accidentally blew the pilot light out somehow they came right out and turned it back on for me!

We have a finished basement with an ejector pump. We came home from work the other evening to find it not working and leaking all over the floor. Yuck! I was able to make an appointment for the next morning through the website. The technician arrived promptly, explained the problem, and quickly fixed it. He efficiently did in a couple hours what took two men 2 days to do last time this happened! He left the area cleaner than he found it and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend and will call them for all my future needs.
