WHERE DO SLAB LEAKS OCCUR?

Water Chemistry: Water with a pH below 7 (soft water) is acidic and will dissolve copper pipe walls in which case leaks break through. Water with a pH above 8 (hard water) can lead to scale build up on the walls of the pipe and eventually lead to pinhole leaks through the pitting of the pipe. 2. Shifting Foundation: Shifting can pull pipes apart if there was poor design or installation or even a change in moisture of the ground. 3. Water Pressure: If you have high water pressure it might be because whoever installed your pipes used pipe with a diameter that was too small causing copper pipe corrosion. You can also get leaks at points where pipes bend or change direction. 4. Poor Craftsmanship or Workmanship: Poor quality pipe material and installation can lead to pipe leaks. We use trusted name brand plumbing supplies to avoid such leaks. We absolutely don’t take any shortcuts because we know thes
