Slab Leak Detection in Deer Park

Houston homes are vulnerable to shifting soil and plumbing leaks. Nearly all homes in the greater Houston area are built on concrete slabs because the soil is very unstable and the water table is very high. Slab foundations may reduce some of the structural risk to your home, but they won’t eliminate it. Plumbing problems under the slab or foundation are an immediate fix problem. Most of the soil in Houston has a high content of clay, which is sensitive to moisture fluctuations. The introduction of water into clay causes it to expand and heave upward, subjecting foundations to pressures from underneath. In extreme cases, the slab and flooring can erupt and water floods every room on the ground floor. Floor coverings, furniture and appliances can be ruined. Homes also have sewer lines that direct the flow of wastewater out from the house, which can crack and cause damage, too.

Slab Leaks and Soil

The slab leak can erode the soil and cause the slab to collapse. When water is withdrawn, these clay soils will contract, sometimes creating cracks in the ground. When the slab fails, its weight breaks the plumbing lines beneath, causing a rush of water into the home. If the soil moves too much, pipes can develop leaks or require re-pipping services. A leak beneath a home can cause the soil to shift even more, making the leak worse. This increasing damage makes early leak detection essential. But these problems can be reduced with the help of your certified plumber. It’s far easier to locate a suspected leak than to do major repair work afterward. But how do you know when to call RLC Plumbing your plumbing repair company? For water line repair in Webster and the surrounding areas, call (832) 780-5957 or contact the team online today.

    “RLC has been our go to plumbing company for a few years now”
    RLC has been our go to plumbing company for a few years now. I’ve needed some rather urgent repairs twice since my husband died, and Robert was here to fix the problems in less than an hour, and without an emergency fee. His calm, professional demeanor eased my worries and gained my trust very quickly. His prices are very reasonable, and he has even added parts without extra charges. One thing RLC Plumbing has done, that sets him above the rest, is being honest with me. He could have very easily gotten away with making the job much bigger and more costly but he didn’t. He possesses a trustworthy work ethic that’s not easily matched. Based on my experiences with RLC Plumbing, there’s no reason to use any other plumbing company.
