Leak detection tips will help you determine if you have a slab leak.

Easy way to check for hot water leak is to turn off supply to water heater for a few minutes with no faucets running. Turn supply back on and if you hear a "slurping sound" of water coming into the tank then you have a leak.

What great video thanks

What about my hous in 4f in the master bedroom I have no idea the water come out from where it from the floor only this time I see leaking and wet on the floor

Hi i have a leak under the floor in the kitche. the house was repiped and the house has a septic any suggestions please?

How long will the slab leak continue after a repipe. ? I just had my hot water line converted to PEX in the attic cause my water line bust.

However the leak is still dripping after 5 hours

what if the leak is directly going to the soil unnoticed?

Great advice, Thank you!

Hi the weather here has been raining a few days and yesterday I saw water on my vinyl about 8 inches from the window and shower, sink. Weird place and only onto the viynl no leaks in ceiling or wall. My water in the sink pipe has been leaking for sometime however I have a bucket to catch it. This is a doublewide mobile home on a crawl space. I keep drying it up with a towel it re appears same spot. I looked under house didn't hear anything running. The only thing I did different this summer as the bathroom was so hot all the time and humid was use spray foam around my door as the trim is all gone and there is a gap between the wall board and where the trim should be hot air would come thru making that bathroom unbearable! So no more heat in there using the spray foam but I'm wondering if now cooler weather I should remove that foam. Never had this happen before either issue
1 bathroom being super hot
2. Water pooling a little in the middle of the floor.
Could the spray foam be the cause? Should I remove it? Just weird.
If I remove spray foam will my bathroom go back to being hot? Thanks!

You need a mic, so we can hear you instead of the unnecessary music.

Please mute the back ground music

nice. but background music is irritating.

Thank you so much amazing video we have same problem and Plumper will come tomorrow morning to check , he told me to turned off Heater and close the water

Ugh this is going to cost a shit ton I'm sure. I dont have water anywhere outside but in 1 bed room under carpet across the hall from the bathroom theres a wet spot that started a few days ago. It's cold water and that's the only spot it's at. Idk I hope it's not something that's going to cost a lot of money to get taken care of but if it's a slab leak then it will be very expensive.

Hello Matthew, I have some questions. So my neighbor's house is leaking from the floor, and the speculation was if we use our washing machine and sink in the kitchen on our end, it caused some leaking on their part. It's weird because the leaking is coming from their floor. We also have no issue of leaking. The leaking is near their boiler room. We share a common wall but we can't even hear what they are saying, so I assume it's a thick wall, thus isn't caused by us right?

My floor in my room is constantly wet in the winter time

I live in Texas. So our water bill is always in 70-80 dollars a month. But we noticed moist surface on one particular tile which has a crack on it.. few days later I noticed a leak behind my toilet and I fixed it.. the toilet is located a few feet from this tile. I still feel that moist and when I step on another tile I can see water bubbles from home on the grout. Do you think it could be from a bad wax ring ?

We have a leak somewhere going from the hall the bathroom.....And than the back bedroom......Its been getting the carpet wet.........

we have water by the kitchen cabinet and in middle of kitchen floor, 6 feet from fridge, can water seep through linoleom floor?

Get a bigger water heater.

After slab leak is fixed for a hot water leak how long before the tile return back to cold temperature???

If you have a slab leak then what?

Misheard that as slav-leak lol

I enjoyed the video. I think I may have a slab leak. I was elated to find out the gentleman in the video appears to be a traveling man, who travels from the East to West and vice-versa. Greetings from Texas. /G\

My rug in the middle of my room is just soaking wet somehow

Where did it came from?

why do they plumb houses under the slab? why not go through the ATTIC AND DOWN THE WALL

So if the water heater is running 24/7, does it need to be replaced?

Phenomenally excellent video - ALL these are the very symptoms I have - Plumbing company scheduled for Tuesday in my residential area!!
Thank you - I think you've saved my home from further damage and deterioration!!!

Can someone answer a question for me?  I live in a condo complex, and I hear water running which sounds like it's from another adjoining Unit - I suspect it's a slab leak because all of a sudden my Bathroom floor feels oddly Warm, and when I turn on my Shower, the water is hot right away, as opposed to usually it takes a short while for the water to get  warm/hot - now, if the Problem is within the infrastructure of the building that I live in, is it MY responsibility or is the Association's responsibility - and yes, the complex that I reside in has had a history of plumbing problems ~

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME, I HAVE WATER THAT IS COMING FROM UNDER THE DISHWASHER AREA, BUT IT DOES NOT LEAK WHEN I USE THE DISHWASHER BUT INSTEAD IT LEAKS WHENEVER I TURN THE WATER ON OUTSIDE FROM THE OUTSIDE SPICKET??? DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT KIND OF LEAK THIS IS AND HOW IT CAN BE FIXED

What if the tile isn't hot but the floor is really damp spot that is coming out from the hole where they had to cut open the wall to find the leak that was causing all this to happen my dad says he's going to be coming over in an bit to check it out

Great tips. I'm glad to see you are local to me. I have water showing up outside near the kitchen sink and also near the sink on the floor inside. This only happens when I try to drain the sink. The water will run and then eventually back-up on both sides. There doesn't seem to be an actual clog since nothing came up with a snake. My water bill is the same. So does this sound like a drain pipe that's busted? Is that also considered a "slab leak"? To fix this do you need to cut into the slab? Also, do you do camera inspections first to see where the actual leak is? The pipes are old so it could be corroded.

Was really hoping God upgraded me to heated floors too.... thanks for the vid, I'll call you guys in today, were in Norco. Cheers -

Thank you! Easy clear quick and helpful (unfortunately in my case).

Such a great video, very informative. Thank you for making this.

great video thanks

plz guide us in our home hall tiles becoming very heat so please help us what to do.

I have a slab leak. Unfortunately, I do not know whether it is coming from the domestic hot water line, or the radiant heat. I had a plumber place a one way valve so that I can use the hot water when necessary. Is it possible to test the system, to see the source?

Thank you Sandra, we appreciate the added info to help everyone out there become as educated as possible on determining if they have a slab leak!

...also, listen to your drain in the kitchen sink, I heard the vibration in my sewer which led me to all the other clues. Hot area under kitchen tiles, water meter spinning with all taps turned off, and eventually, the biggest water and electricity bill imaginable. A brilliant plumber isolated the pipe run and avoided the need to excavate the slab under a new kitchen. Installed rerouted incoming hot water pipes. Regards from Sydney, Australia.

Great video. Educational

Is it normal for hall tyle to be luke warm (not hot) after taking a nice, hot bath after a hardday's work, if hot water line runs just under tyle floor?  If it is not, then there might be a small leak possibility.  However, there are no signs of wetness on tyle surface, drips, tyles disconnecting because of water exposure or any other type of water damage. If it is normal, then hot wire line was placed close to slab's surface, which would be easier for heat to radiate or come up upwardly toward behind or under hall tyles.  ????

If your home has a slab leak. The home is two stories, 2200 sq feet. How expensive will it be?

We have a section of the house flooring (concrete slab, no basement) that gets wet (cold water) only after a heavy rain. There's no roof leaks, it's like the rainwater seeping up through the foundation itself. Exterior does not appear to have any visible cracks and water meter doesn't show activity when not using water. What's up?

I have heat coming up through my concrete slab in one specific location.There are no water pipes running through my slab. All my water lines run through the walls. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason for this one area to be hot. Baffling!

Helped a lot this is happening in my house
