Slab Leak Signs: Is Water Destroying Your Home’s Foundation?

Описание: Is a slab leak just a plumbing headache, or is it a structural nightmare waiting to happen? In this video, Dalinghaus Construction explains why a hidden water leak underneath your concrete slab can destroy your foundation and lower your home's value. While a plumber can stop the water, they often leave the structural damage behind.

*What You Will Learn*
We break down exactly what a slab leak is: a pressurized line break, crack, or corrosion under your foundation that soaks the soil meant to support your home. You will learn how this water causes soil erosion, expansion (common in California clay), and hydrostatic pressure that pushes and pulls on your slab.

*4 Structural Red Flags of a Slab Leak*
If you suspect a leak, don't just look for water. Look for these structural warning signs that your house is shifting:

*Cracks in Walls or Ceilings:* Look for diagonal cracks above doors or windows, or stair-step cracks in brick. This indicates differential settlement.



*Uneven or Sloping Floors:* If walking through your hallway feels like walking downhill, your slab is likely moving due to erosion or saturation.



*Sticking Doors and Windows:* When the foundation shifts, frames go out of square, causing windows to jam and doors to become difficult to lock.


*Gaps Between Walls and Floors:* Check your baseboards. Visible gaps often mean the slab is settling into voids in the soil.



*Why Location Matters (California & Arizona)*

*California:* Expansive clay soils swell when wet and shrink when dry. A slab leak magnifies this cycle, pushing up on your foundation with tremendous force.


*Arizona:* Sandy, dry desert soils are prone to erosion. A leak acts like a persistent rainstorm, washing away the base layer of soil and creating large voids.



*How We Fix It*
Fixing the pipe isn't enough. We specialize in stabilizing and lifting homes using proven methods like Helical Piers (giant screws for load-bearing soil) and Push Piers (driven deep by hydraulic pressure).

*Next Steps*
The longer you wait, the more expensive the repair becomes. If you see these signs, schedule a free foundation inspection to get a clear, honest assessment of your home's structure.
