How Leaking Water Cause Foundation Cracks
Before the foundation of your home was poured, the pipes that make up your plumbing system were laid down. If there is any leak found in the plumbing system after your home is built, it can result is serious problems for the slab. As excess water sits under the foundation, the soil that supports your foundation is washed away. Without the support of the soil, your foundation can’t handle the weight of your house any longer. As a result, you may find that sinking or cracks happen.

Much of the time, when there is a leak beneath your foundation, it is hard to detect. Some of the first signs you have a leak is a crack that starts moving up your wall, ceiling or foundation.

Another problem that you may run into is foul smelling odors if there is any waste water that is leaking. If you notice any of these signs, it is important that you call on the professionals at ACME Leak Detection to not only find the leak(s), but repair them as well.

Home Slab Foundation Repair Services
There are a couple of ways to go about repairing your slab when leaks are detected. The first option is re-routing pipes. This is the method used when only small sections need to be replaced rather than larger portions. The second method of repair is lining the existing pipes. When choosing this option, we can push a new liner into the pipes that will cover any cracks or breaks in the pipes. This is a non-invasive way to solve the problem that only requires external access to the pipe. The third method is to re-pipe. If you have more than one leak found under your foundation, re-piping may be the best option to completely repair the problem. This is a more involved approach as it involves cutting into flooring and the slab to replace broken pipes.
