A slab leak when related to plumbing is generally a pipe leak under the slab (your home's concrete foundation). There are a few main symptoms that can give you an idea whether you have a pipe leak under your home.

slab leak symptoms include:

  • Water on floors
  • High water bills
  • A musty smell; mold/mildew/moisture in carpets
  • Cracks in floors/walls
  • Lack of hot water
  • Instant hot water at fixtures that didn't have instant hot water before
  • Hot spot(s) on the floor

How do you fix your pool if the slab of cement at the steps into the pool is sinking and you're afraid that it will push the steps into the pool and damage the structure?

You first of all have to find out what is causing the slab to heave. If you fix the slab then within a two year period you will be redoing the slab again. You may have a leak in the plumbing of the pool or a leak in the house plumbing or to the garden hose. Fix all the leaks and then replace the slab.

Should you pay for slab insurance when the insurance company say they will not pay a claim if the slab cracked and caused a leak?

If you have a history of slab leaks, slab insurance may be the way to go. If your leaks are caused by earthquakes, then you may want to have the insurance, but it is not the most common, overall, for a slab leak to be caused by shifting/cracked slab. Your decision should be based on whether you think there is a good chance that a slab leak will happen again.
