As a homeowner, you may have trouble detecting slab leaks. Slab leak detection is best done by a professional plumber. But, there a couple of things that may indicate you have a slab leak problem. A huge indicator is if you find yourself walking on damp carpet. If you see mildew or there’s a musty odor in the room, you may have a slab leak. Listen carefully. If you hear running water, but there shouldn’t be any water running in your house, look at your last water bill. If it seems higher than what it normally is, it may be time to call a plumber who will have better means of detecting slab leaks. Don’t put the call off. The longer the problem goes on, the worse it becomes and the more money you will spend on repairs.
