Foundation Slab Leaks

Slab Leaks

You should worry about a slab leak for many reasons, but primarily the damage it can cause to your home. The problem is, many slab leaks go unnoticed due to their nature. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear water splashing or running. Leaks will always make themselves known, but often slab leaks are not noticed until the home’s damage discloses them. If you believe you have a leak in your home’s foundation, give one of our repipe specialists a call today.

How to Fix Foundation Slab Leaks

Cracks in baseboards and walls, an increase in water bill, moisture underneath your carpet, and low water pressure are signs of a possible foundation slab leak. Checking your water meter is a good way to check for a leak. Ensure there is no water running in your house and then check your water meter periodically for changes. Many people will repair the piping and hope the issue does not continue or they decide to finally repipe. Repiping with certain systems is absolutely inevitable. It is important not to put it off to avoid catastrophic damages to your home. Generally, if you have had to repair the slab in your home 2 or more times, it is definitely time to repipe your entire system or at least re-route the line causing the leak.

How Often Should a Homeowner Repipe?

The lifespan for certain plumbing pipes varies depending on the materiel it is made of. Over the years, many different types of piping systems have been manufactured. Things like sunlight exposure, improper installation, water pressure and quality, and corrosion. Here are a few different types of piping:

PEX Pipes

PEX piping  is made from crosslinked HDPE (high density polyethylene) polymer. Water will not corrode the inside of this pipe, unlike the following. The HDPE is melted and continuously extruded into tube. Pex piping is fairly new in the market, so the life expentancy is still not totally known. However, it is thought to have an average life expectancy of about 40-50 years depending on water quality, frequency of use and other factors.

PVC Pipes

PVC stands for PolyVinyl Chloride. PVC is a thermoplastic made of chlorine and carbon (derived predominantly from ethylene gas. PVC Pipes have a long lifespan of 50 years, while some plumbers will argue over 100 years.

Brass Pipes

Brass piping is is a thicker material that is usually joined by threaded fittings of the same size and pipe thread specifications. It is rarely used anymore. Some homes and buildings that still have brass pipes are in good condition 50-75 years later.

Galvanized Pipes

Galvanized pipes are actually steel pipes that are covered with a protective layer of zinc. Galvanized steel pipes can last some 30 to 40 years. If you think you may have galvanized piping, it would be wise to have a professional assess them.

Copper Pipes

Copper piping is bacteriostatic, meaning that it is resistant to bacterial growth, which keeps the water in your home clean. This is a popular choice because it has been proven in history to be dependable. Depending on water conditions, they could last anywhere from 40 to 60 years.

Atlanta Repipe

Currently, homes are built with plumbing systems of PVC, PEX and copper. Polybutylene pipes were used in about 10 million homes and businesses from 1978 to 1995. In Georgia, there are now about a quarter of homes built in this time frame, that still have Polybutylene piping. Polybutylene piping was inexpensive and easy to install. Homeowners and plumbers were delightfully pleased with this new type of material. However, many consumers a decade later are paying the damage costs associated with pinhole leaks and burst waterlines from Polybutylene Piping. The reported problem with polybutylene is that it fails abruptly, without warning, and often fails catastrophically.

Unnoticed, these leaks can cause moisture inside the walls, under the house or slab leak in the foundation, all of which will cause a large amount of damage to ones home.

In most cases it took a few years for polybutylene systems to fail. While some leaked within a few years of installation, the majority of leaks started to occur in the 10-15 year time frame. The pipes began leaking due to corrosion from chlorine and chemicals commonly found in tap water.

The manufacturers of the pipes agreed in a 1995 class action lawsuit against manufacturers to cease production. Polybutylene has been removed from the National Building Codes list of acceptable plumbing supply line material in the United States and Canada.

The degree of deterioration is often undetected and hard to evaluate. This is because the damage comes from the interior of the pipe, rather than the exterior. The only long term answer is to completely replace the polybutylene plumbing.
