Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Common signs include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, unexplained water bill increases, and cracks in flooring or walls. Call us for a professional diagnosis.

Is leak detection covered by homeowners insurance?

Many homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from sudden leaks. We recommend contacting your insurer. We can provide documentation of the leak and repair for your claim.

How quickly can you find a leak?

Most leaks can be pinpointed within a few hours. We offer fast response times throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties, including after-hours emergency service.

Do you repair the leak after finding it?

Yes. Pro-Plumbing Works provides the leak detection service and handles the plumbing repair, so you have one point of contact throughout the job.

What is a slab leak and why is it a serious problem?

A slab leak is a water leak in the pipes that run beneath the concrete foundation of your home. Because the pipes are buried in concrete, even a small leak can cause significant damage to the foundation, flooring, and walls over time, and can also lead to mold growth. Slab leaks should be addressed promptly.

Can you fix a slab leak without breaking up the concrete?

In some cases, yes. Depending on the pipe material, location, and extent of the damage, we may be able to reroute the affected pipe through the wall or ceiling rather than cutting through the slab. We will evaluate all options and recommend the most practical and cost-effective solution.

How common are slab leaks in Sarasota and Manatee Counties?

Slab leaks are relatively common in our area due to the combination of hard water, older copper pipe installations, and the minor soil movement that occurs in Florida's sandy soils. Homes built in the 1970s through 1990s with original copper supply lines are particularly susceptible, as the combination of mineral-rich water and decades of thermal expansion gradually weakens pipe walls.
