Slab Leak Detection & Repair Services
Slab leaks are hidden water leaks that occur in the pipes running beneath your concrete foundation. Left undetected, they can cause serious damage to your foundation, flooring, and structure. Iron Horse Mechanical & Plumbing provides professional slab leak detection and repair services, locating under‑foundation leaks quickly and recommending the best repair options to protect your property.
What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak happens when a water line or pipe beneath your concrete slab cracks, corrodes, or breaks, allowing water to escape under your home or building. Because these pipes are buried, slab leaks can go unnoticed until there is significant damage.
Slab leaks may be caused by:
- Aging or corroded pipes under the slab
- Shifting soil and foundation movement
- Poor installation or damaged piping
- High water pressure or constant vibration
Our team is trained to identify and pinpoint these hidden leaks so they can be repaired before they compromise your foundation.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
Early slab leak detection can help you avoid costly structural repairs. You should schedule an inspection if you notice:
Unexplained increases in your water bill
The sound of running water when no fixtures are on
Warm spots on floors, especially over hot water lines
Damp or wet areas on floors or carpets
Cracked, buckling, or separating flooring or baseboards
Moisture or mildew odors inside the home or building
Water pooling around the foundation exterior
If you suspect a slab leak, it’s important to act quickly. The longer a slab leak is active, the more damage it can cause.
Professional Slab Leak Detection
Finding a slab leak accurately is just as important as fixing it. Iron Horse uses advanced slab leak detection methods to locate leaks under your foundation with minimal disruption.
Our slab leak detection process can include:
Pressure testing to confirm the presence of a leak in the system
Line locating to trace the path of water lines under your slab
Electronic leak detection and listening equipment
Video pipe inspection for accessible lines and nearby piping
By pinpointing the leak location, we can recommend the most effective and least invasive repair method for your property.

- Direct access and spot repair at the leak location

Slab leaks are not just a plumbing issue—they’re a structural concern. Continuous water flow under your slab can wash away soil, weaken support, and lead to foundation movement or cracking. Prompt slab leak detection and repair can:
- Reduce the risk of foundation damage and structural problems
- Prevent ongoing moisture issues, mold, and mildew
- Protect flooring, walls, and finishes from hidden water damage
- Help control water bills and prevent wasted water
Addressing a slab leak early is one of the best investments you can make in your property’s long‑term stability.
