Slab Leak Repair in Spanish Fork

What To Do If You Suspect A Slab Leak

If you think you may have a slab or concrete leak, a few simple steps can help you gather information and reduce risk until a technician arrives. You do not need special tools, and you do not have to diagnose the problem yourself.

Simple checks you can do right away:

• Look for damp spots on floors, new cracks in concrete, or moisture near baseboards.
• Listen for the sound of water running when fixtures and appliances are turned off.
• Review your recent water bills for unexpected increases in usage or cost.
• Notice any warm areas on hard flooring that seem out of place.

If water is actively surfacing or you see significant pooling, it may be wise to locate your main shutoff valve so you are ready to turn water off if conditions worsen. Our technicians can help guide you through this step by phone in urgent situations. In most cases, waiting to address a slab leak allows more water to move into soil, flooring, or structural materials, so reaching out promptly is important.

When you call Gillette Heating And Air Conditioning, our team will ask a few questions, help you decide whether the situation is urgent, and work to schedule a visit that fits your needs. We offer 24/7 emergency service for serious leaks and same-day scheduling when possible. You can expect straightforward information about next steps and clear pricing before any work begins.

Signs You May Have A Slab Leak

Slab leaks occur when water lines running beneath a concrete foundation begin to leak, often out of sight and without immediate symptoms. Because these leaks develop below the surface, they can cause significant damage before they are discovered. In Spanish Fork, changes in soil conditions and seasonal temperature shifts can place extra stress on underground plumbing. Understanding the warning signs of a slab leak can help homeowners act quickly and avoid costly structural repairs. Gillette Heating And Air Conditioning works with Spanish Fork property owners to identify potential slab leaks early and protect the integrity of their homes.

Common signs that may indicate a slab leak include:

• Unexplained increases in water bills, even when household water use has remained consistent
• The sound of running water when all fixtures and appliances are turned off
• Warm or damp spots on floors, which may point to a leaking hot or cold water line beneath the slab
• Cracks in walls, flooring, or the foundation, caused by shifting or eroding soil from leaking water
• Low or fluctuating water pressure throughout the home as water escapes before reaching fixtures
• Persistent musty odors, suggesting trapped moisture and possible mold growth below flooring
• Mold or mildew appearing in unexpected areas, particularly along baseboards or floor coverings
• Water pooling near the foundation, which can signal an underground leak pushing moisture outward
• Flooring damage, such as warped wood, loose tiles, or damp carpet with no visible surface leak

Slab leaks should never be ignored, as ongoing moisture can weaken a home’s foundation and lead to extensive repairs. Prompt professional inspection helps confirm the source of the problem and determines the most effective solution. Gillette Heating And Air Conditioning provides reliable slab leak detection and repair services for Spanish Fork homeowners, helping restore peace of mind while preventing further damage to your property.

How Our Slab Leak Detection Process Works

Not knowing what is happening under your floor can be one of the most stressful parts of this situation. We work to replace that uncertainty with a clear, step-by-step process. Our goal is to pinpoint the problem as accurately as possible, while limiting unnecessary disturbance to your home or business.

Initial Assessment & Visual Checks

We usually begin with a conversation and a visual inspection. Our technicians will ask when you first noticed symptoms, where in the building they appear, and whether your water usage or habits have changed. We look at flooring, walls, accessible plumbing, and the water meter to get a baseline understanding of what might be going on.

Using Modern Leak Detection Tools

After that, we use leak detection tools that help us narrow down the source. Depending on the situation, this may include acoustic listening equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping under concrete, pressure testing on sections of your plumbing, or thermal imaging to look for temperature changes that suggest hot water movement. We explain each step in plain language, so you know what we are doing and why.

Sharing Findings & Next Steps

Once we have gathered enough information, we identify the most likely leak location and discuss our findings with you. Because we work with advanced equipment and factory-trained technicians, we can usually reduce the size of the area that needs to be opened. Before moving toward repair, we walk you through the options, answer questions, and provide clear pricing so there are no surprises.

Slab Leak Repair Solutions

After we locate the problem, the next step is to decide how to fix it in a way that protects your building and fits your situation. Slab leak repair often involves working both on the plumbing and on the concrete or flooring above it, so careful planning matters.

Targeted Access & Pipe Repair

In many cases, repair starts with opening a focused section of the slab or concrete surface to access the damaged pipe. Once the area is open, we repair or replace the affected line, check for sound connections, and test the system to confirm that the leak has been addressed. Depending on the layout, there may also be options such as rerouting piping to a new path that is less vulnerable to future issues.

Addressing Leaks In & Under Concrete

Concrete leak repair can involve similar steps when water is moving through or under concrete pads, garage floors, or similar areas. Our technicians work to protect surrounding finishes, such as flooring, cabinets, or walls, by containing dust and debris as much as practical. We discuss expectations for site protection before work starts, and we coordinate with you about access, timing, and any temporary changes to water use.

Clear Pricing & Support For Larger Projects

Because each property is different, repair methods and timelines can vary. We provide transparent, upfront pricing that reflects the specific scope of your project, and we talk through any choices you may have. Our satisfaction guarantee supports the work we perform, and flexible financing options are available for larger repairs so you can address serious issues without putting them off.
