What Is a Slab Leak & How Do They Occur?
Most homes in Frisco and the Dallas area are built on a concrete slab, which distributes the weight of the home to the footings and soil below. To connect your home to water and sewer services, water supply and drain pipes pass through the concrete slab to the locations you need them in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
Over time, the soil can erode, settle, or shift, breaking these pipes, or the pipes themselves may fail due to material imperfections, age, or faulty installation. This creates a slab leak, which is difficult to find and repair.

Signs You May Have a Slab Leak in Your Frisco Home
Although you may not be able to see slab leaks directly, there are many possible signs that they could be occurring, such as:
- An increase in water usage that is evident through higher water bills
- Increases on the water meter while no water is being used
- Damp soil or pooling water near the outside of the foundation
- Pooling water or wet spots on the concrete floor inside your home
- Warm or cool areas just below the floor
- Sounds of water running, trickling, or dripping when no fixtures are on
- Dampness on carpeting, flooring, or drywall that is touching the concrete slab
