Discovering and Fixing a Hidden Leak Under a Concrete Slab Without Breaking Any Tile
At I Find Leaks LLC, we often encounter tricky leak situations, but one recent case in particular stands out. A customer had a leak under their concrete slab, and it ended up being directly under their stove. Fortunately, the problem was able to be fixed without breaking any visible tile, saving the customer a lot of stress and expense!!!!
The Mystery Leak
Our customer noticed some unusual signs in their kitchen. They had a higher-than-usual water bill and could hear the faint sound of water running even when all faucets were off. There were no visible signs of water damage on the floors or walls, making the source of the leak a mystery.
Our Approach
Using our advanced leak detection equipment, we were able to locate the leak with precision. Here’s how we did it:
- Acoustic Leak Detection: Our first step was to use acoustic listening devices. These devices help us hear the sound of water escaping from pipes even when the leak is hidden under concrete.
- Thermal Imaging: We then used thermal imaging to detect any unusual heat patterns. This method is particularly effective when dealing with hot water leaks.
- Ultrasonic Leak Equipment: Finally, we used specialized equipment to listen to the frequency of the leak verifying the exact location.
Through these methods, we pinpointed the exact location of the leak – directly under the customer’s stove!!
The Solution
The challenge was to repair the leak without causing unnecessary damage to the kitchen. Here’s how we managed it:
- Careful Planning: We planned our approach meticulously, ensuring that we could access the leak without damaging the visible tile.
- Precision Drilling: We drilled through the concrete slab under the stove, an area that was covered and out of sight, allowing us to reach the leaking pipe without affecting the kitchen’s appearance.
- Pipe Repair: Once we accessed the pipe, we had a licensed plumber (we work with ALL of them in the area) repair the leak using state-of-the-art techniques, ensuring a durable fix.
The Happy Outcome
Our customer was thrilled with the results. Not only was the leak fixed, but we also managed to do so without breaking any visible tiles or causing any damage to their beautiful kitchen. The customer was incredibly relieved to avoid the additional cost and hassle of MATCHING & replacing tiles.
