Slab Leak Detection & Repair Bonita Springs, FL

When soils shrink or expand depending on moisture content, slab-based homes may experience issues that require leak detection & repair in Bonita Springs, FL. Call on Innovative Construction Solutions to rectify this issue before it can cause irrevocable damage to the foundation.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair Bonita Springs, FL A slab foundation means that when plumbing leaks occur, they’re hard to find and hard to find to repair because they’re hidden underneath the slab. If allowed to continue, a slab leak will erode the soil that supports the slab, leading to cracks in the foundation and water intrusion in the home.

Causes of Slab Leaks

Slab leaks occur when an element of the plumbing system fails to work properly. Poor quality materials, wear, improper installation, soil shifting, and corrosion can all cause the system to begin leaking.

A subtle leak under the slab may progress slowly, causing water to accumulate under the home. As the pressure from the water builds, weaknesses will develop, and eventually, that weakness will allow the water to enter the house – as a drop or two if you’re lucky and a flood if you’re not.

Symptoms of a Slab Leak

An unexplained rise in the water bill
Crack in the foundation
Audible water sounds
Low water pressure
Unexplained warmth or dampness on floors
Moldy odors
Differences in landscaping growth rates
Soil shifting around the home

Any of these signs should lead you to call Innovative Construction Solutions as soon as possible. Our expertise and advanced technology allow us to search for leaks with infrared technology. These non-invasive measures will find the leak, identify the extent of the damage, and allow us to repair the problem.

Methods of Slab Leak Repair

Repairing a slab leak is a significant undertaking that should not be taken on as a DIY endeavor, nor should you hire a company that is not tested and proven. We will identify the most appropriate way to repair your situation and do so as quickly and conveniently as possible. The repair methods may include rerouting the pipe in order to avoid destroying the slab, breaking through the slab to reach the pipes, lining the pipe with epoxy, or digging a tunnel below the slab.

Prevention of Slab Leaks

Avoid allowing the soil around your home to become overly dry. Maintain moisture all year long.
Avoid putting chemicals, cleaners, grease, bone, or fruit pits down the drain or the toilet.
Have your water tested to ensure that the pH isn’t too low.
Maintain water pressure between 40 and 60 PSI.
Schedule regular plumbing inspections from Innovative Construction Solutions.

Kudos to all that waterproofed our home during the exterior renovation. Despite being on the beach, with Hurricane Irma’s 130 MPH winds, and many windows and doors which we did not have a chance to cover, no water came in the house! Also, it appears that we suffered no structural damage of any kind. Thanks again for your attention to detail and quality work!

Dave & Brenda Pelizzon

Just a quick note to thanks you guys for building a great house for Debbie and me. We came through Hurricane Irma in great shape. We were reflecting how fortunate we were to have such a professional construction team. Thanks for your time and patience in building a truly beautiful well constructed home.

Ray & Debbie Guerin

Your team resolved quite a few problems in my previously renovated 1950s built home. They resolved everything from air conditioning issues to insulation problems to gas and water leaks. They fixed problems other people could not even find.

As new homeowners in Naples we had scheduled projects – generator install, gutters, as well as unscheduled events – the main AC unit breaking down with a difficult fix. Dave Raffa handled it all in a very calm, professional and extremely competent manner. Dave is truly outstanding – thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, positive, professional, great attention to detail – all in all he is a real pleasure to work with. Bryce Alexis was our initial contact and he was terrific. We are impressed with the entire Innovative Team!
