When your Golden Triangle area home is built on a concrete foundation, the house style is often referred to as a slab house. And owners of these properties need to be aware of a plumbing issue unique to this manner of construction. The problem is called a slab leak, and it can range from a minor issue that is simple to repair to a very significant concern that could potentially undermine the support structure for your entire home. But what every homeowner in the region needs to understand is that fast, professional help from the licensed plumbers at EcoWorks Plumbing is the best way to limit the damage and cost of a Beaumont slab leak repair.
Because a slab home has no basement, the water lines servicing the house are located under the concrete foundation and then angled up through the concrete. If any of these pipes become damaged under the concrete or where they pass through the concrete, the problem is called a Beaumont slab leak.
Your home’s concrete foundation is the structure that provides support and strength for your home. In addition to that thick concrete layer, many sub-layers of compressed aggregate help support the house. Unfortunately, when there is a water leak under the concrete, it will wash away the added support layers. The result is added stress on the concrete, cracks, and potential damage to your home. Once the foundation’s structural integrity is compromised, you could begin to see cracks and damage to floors, walls, and ceilings in your home.
In addition to structural damage, the added moisture from the Beaumont slab leak is likely to promote significant mold growth and contamination in and under your home. The presence of toxic black mold can contribute to many health issues and challenges related to the respiratory system.
