Hard water
Tap water in this part of Arizona runs hard. Scale and mineral wear work on pipes, fittings and water heaters over time.
Pressure and heat
Street pressure works on every joint, and hot water pipes fail first, which is why warm spots on the floor are a classic sign.
Slab movement
Concrete slabs move slightly with heat and soil moisture, and that movement rubs and stresses pipe where it passes through or under the concrete.

(888) 949-8496 Report a moving water meterHow do I check for a slab leak with the water meter?
Turn off every tap, appliance and irrigation, then watch the meter's leak indicator for a while. If it still moves, water is going somewhere.
Why is the floor warm in one spot?
A leak on the hot water pipe under the slab heats the concrete above it. Warm spots near the kitchen or a bathroom are a common sign.
Who finds and fixes the leaking pipe?
A plumber runs electronic leak detection and repairs or reroutes the pipe. The restoration team handles the water: lifting wet flooring, extraction and drying the slab and walls.
Does homeowners insurance cover a slab leak?
Many policies cover the resulting water damage and access to the pipe but not the pipe itself. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Can a slab leak wait a few days?
A leak under the slab keeps feeding water into the concrete, flooring and wall bottoms. Shut off the main if the meter keeps moving and get it looked at.
Slab leak soaking the floor? Get the concrete dried out.
Water under the slab spreads into flooring, baseboards and wall bottoms. The extraction crew lifts what is wet and dries the concrete.
