Causes of Slab Leak


There are four commonly found causes of slab leaks in a residential area, such as inadequate piping and fitting workmanship, chemistry of water and piping materials, unstable substructure, and large water pressure.
Inadequate Craftsmanship: novice pipe fitters, inadequate craftsmanship, bad plumbing materials, broken piping setup - are all parametric quantities that work to heighten possibilities that your water supply system is very ineffective and buckle under very easily to wear and tear, water flow, water chemistry and water pressure.
Chemistry: Copper pipings can react with the water chemical characteristics which will cause pinhole leaks.
Unstable Foundation: an unsatisfactory plumbing system can shift over time and break pipes.
Large Water Pressure: Copper pipings with smaller diameters can raise the water pressure and corrode the pipings until they entirely burst open.
Bad workmanship can also cause slab leaks at the outgoing DWV pipeline, however the other three causes are prevailing in the sanitary sewage system including rusty and burst pipes and also when using commercial drain cleaners.
Aged Pipes: sand, soil or gravel are permeable to water and can rust cast iron or galvanized pipings nearby. Rusty pipings are more vulnerable to damage and bursts.
Ruptured pipeworks: unstable foundation may take apart galvanized, cast iron or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipings, particularly where they change or turn directions.
Commercial Waste Pipe Cleaners: They may eat on metal pipelines

  3. When pipes are installed underneath your foundation, they will make direct contact with the soil that surrounds your home. Over time, certain types of metal pipes can interact with the soil, leading to a process that is known as corrosion. As a pipe corrodes, its internal or external walls will gradually break down, leaking to Slab Leaks. Since copper is highly reactive to soil, copper plumbing pipes often develop corrosion issues.
