Slab leaks are among the most disruptive plumbing problems a homeowner can face — not only because of the damage they can cause, but because they’re often hard to detect. At Bayou Crew Plumbing, we specialize in fast, accurate slab leak detection and long-lasting slab leak repair services.

Whether you’ve spotted early warning signs or already have water damage, we’re the team that finds the source and gets it fixed.

Understanding Slab Plumbing Leaks
What Are They And Why Do They Matter?

A slab plumbing leak occurs when a water line beneath your home’s concrete slab starts leaking. These pipes are buried beneath the surface — out of sight, but not out of impact. Left unchecked, a slab leak can weaken your foundation, inflate your utility bills and lead to mold growth or structural damage.

What Causes A Slab Leak?

There are a few common reasons slab leaks happen in the first place. Some are related to age, others to the shifting soils and climate of Louisiana. Either way, these sneaky leaks don’t care how new or old your home is.

Age And Corrosion

As plumbing materials age, especially copper and galvanized pipes, they can corrode due to contact with soil, water chemistry or time itself. Eventually, this corrosion leads to hairline cracks or full breakage.

Shifting Soil Or Foundation Movement

Louisiana’s clay-heavy soils expand and contract with moisture levels, which can cause your foundation to shift. That movement puts pressure on your pipes — and sometimes, that pressure causes them to crack.

Poor Construction Practices

Sometimes the problem starts at the beginning. If your original plumbing was installed with sharp bends, unprotected pipes or improper support, the system may fail prematurely under the slab.

Excessive Water Pressure Or Vibrations

Water lines under constant strain — from pressure, movement or even seismic activity — can slowly wear out. That friction weakens the pipe walls and can eventually lead to a rupture beneath your foundation.

How Bayou Crew Detects And Repairs Slab Leaks

A concrete slab leak repair doesn’t have to mean chaos. With today’s technology — and the right team — the process can be fast, precise and clean.

Once we locate the problem, we’ll explain your options. In many cases, we can repair the section directly by rerouting the line over head or create a bypass to prevent future issues.

Signs You Might Have A Slab Leak

Not sure if that weird floor stain or spike in your water bill is a concrete slab leak? Here are some common red flags to watch out for:

  • Unexpected increases in your water bill
  • Warm or damp spots on your flooring
  • Water pooling near your home’s foundation
  • Mold or mildew inside the home
  • Low water pressure
  • The sound of water running with all fixtures off

If one or more of these issues sounds familiar, don’t ignore it. Slab leaks can develop slowly, but their impact adds up fast. The sooner you identify and repair the problem, the more you can protect your home from foundation shifts, flooring damage or even collapse.
