Moisture can destroy the concrete slab of your home before you even recognize that issues exist, but testing like Innovative Construction Solutions of Naples, FL offers can identify the problem early.
We suggest routine inspections on a scheduled basis, but if you see signs that your slab is allowing moisture to permeate the slab, call us immediately to find the source of the leak, the extent of the damage, and the best possible solution to the problem.
The signs to watch for might be explained by many things, so homeowners need to be vigilant as they watch out for a potential slab issue.
- Water damage to floors – If the pipes underneath your home become damaged, the water will begin to damage the concrete slab, the subfloor, and eventually the floor finishing material. Puddles and water spots on the floor are clear signs that you could have a problem with slab moisture.
- Low water pressure – Another issue that could indicate these pipes might be compromised is a loss of water pressure. If you have this issue along with any others, you should strongly suspect a slab leak.
- Sky-high water bills – Track your water bills. Unexplained increases in water usage could mean you have an issue with a running toilet or a leaky pipe. When that pipe is underneath the slab, the damage can be catastrophic to the structural integrity of the home.
- Shifting, cracking, or movement of the home foundation – A concrete slab is vulnerable to water damage. Permeation of the slab can cause it to crack and shift, which is a situation that can be incredibly costly to remediate, if remediation is even possible.
- Audible water sounds- If you hear water, but you know that you don’t have any water running, you could have a leak. Finding the source of that leak is vital because the results of the intruding water can be devastating, growing worse and worse as time goes on.
