Ways to Detect a Slab Leak
Slab leaks are problematic because they can be so hard to spot, which means they may persist for weeks or even months before you catch wind of them. The best way to prevent that is to keep an eye out for signs of trouble. The most obvious sign you need slab leak services is an unexpected spike in your water bills, especially if you’re not using any more water than normal. In some cases, you can detect a leak under a concrete slab by listening for running water in places where you can’t see any running water. You should also feel for warm or cold spots on the slab and look for beading water or even mold growth. If these issues are plaguing your home, reach out to our slab leak repair company in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico for a prompt solution.
Causes of Slab Leaks
Slab leaks are often caused by shifting soil, which isn’t uncommon here in Santa Fe, NM. As the pressure changes, your pipe may spring a leak in a weak area that hadn’t been subjected to pressure before. Shoddy materials can often cause a leak as well, especially if your plumbing line is older and can’t stand up to wear and tear the way it used to. All of those are fairly typical plumbing problems. But when the pipe itself is embedded in concrete or can’t be easily reached, you need an expert slab leak plumber like Roadrunner Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing to really address the issue properly.
Slab Leak Detection
If you suspect a slab leak somewhere on your property, our plumbing technicians will use advanced technologies, such as infrared thermography and acoustic sensors, to locate hidden water leaks within the concrete foundation of your home. This non-intrusive approach minimizes damage and disruption to your property. With our team on the job, you can trust we’ll detect and fix the leak quickly, so you don’t have to worry about extensive structural damage, mold growth, or high water bills.

Probably the best experience that I've had with a contractor. Steven was very organized in detailing the quote options, incredibly responsive to questions before and after the project. The project involved an unexpected challenge … More with drilling through my walls, which I thought were adobe but were concrete block. They handled it without drama, protected the house from the dust, and cleaned it up afterwards. They took the time to show me the features of the units after installatioin. I'd probably have never realized some of the aspects of their function. I can't recomend them enough.

They do great work both plumbing and HVAC. Not the least expensive but very reliable and high quality work including splits, water heaters and general maintenance.

We love our mini-splits healing and cooling system. The heat in our house during these winter months has been warm and comfortable. The process of interacting with Roadrunner staff was seamless and unintrusive. They came and did their job … More at each stage of the installation. Steve guided us the entire way through and we are grateful for the handling and care and attention. We were even instructed about how to get a tax break. We would highly recommend this product and the Roadrunner service.
