Understanding Slab Leaks
A slab leak occurs when water lines beneath your home’s concrete foundation develop cracks or pinhole leaks. Since the pipes are hidden under a slab of concrete, identifying and fixing the problem can be challenging. Signs often include unexplained water bills, damp floors, or the sound of running water beneath your feet. At Thunder & Lightning Services, we specialize in Slab Leak Water Damage Cleanup, providing efficient, minimally invasive solutions that safeguard your property.
Detection and Diagnosis
Pinpointing the exact location of a slab leak is crucial for a successful repair. We use electronic leak detection equipment, thermal imaging, and other non-invasive techniques to locate the source without tearing up your entire floor. By accurately diagnosing the problem, we can reduce the time and cost associated with repairs.
Water Removal and Structural Drying
Slab leaks can compromise your flooring, subfloor, and even your foundation if left unchecked. After we identify the leak, our first step is to remove any standing water that has penetrated your living space. Then we deploy air movers, dehumidifiers, and advanced monitoring tools to thoroughly dry the area, inhibiting mold growth and maintaining structural stability.
Repair and Restoration
Once the area is dry, we repair the damaged section of pipe or reroute the water line, depending on the situation. Any affected flooring—whether it’s tile, hardwood, or carpeting—is then restored or replaced. We also ensure that the foundation itself remains solid. If necessary, we treat the site to prevent mold or other microbial issues from developing over time.
