Slab Leak Detection in Stamford, CT

Expert Foundation & Slab Leak Detection Solutions

When you need slab leak detection, you want answers from a provider you can trust. A hidden leak beneath your home’s concrete slab or foundation threatens your property value and safety. At American Leak Detection of Connecticut, we use advanced, non-invasive detection methods to find the exact source of the leak, helping you avoid costly, destructive guesswork and restore your peace of mind.

What Is a Slab Leak and Why Does It Happen?

A "slab leak" is a leak in a water line running beneath your home's concrete foundation (or "slab"). These leaks are particularly dangerous because they can go undetected for months, eroding the soil that supports your home and potentially compromising its structural integrity.

In Stamford and throughout Fairfield County, leaks can be caused by several factors. In historic homes, aging pipes may corrode and fail. In newer homes, shifting soil, ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles, or improper installation can put stress on pipes, causing them to crack. Our team is experienced with all of these local challenges.

Common Signs You May Have a Slab Leak

Detecting a slab leak early is the key to preventing major damage. Call a professional immediately if you notice:

• A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill.
• The sound of running water when all faucets and appliances are off.
• New cracks appearing in your floors, tile, or foundation walls.
• Warm or damp spots on your floors (often a sign of a hot water line leak).
• A persistent musty odor or visible mold or mildew growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does slab leak detection take?

Most residential slab leak detection appointments take a few hours, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the plumbing.

Will you have to break my concrete slab to find the leak?

No. Our advanced, non-invasive technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the leak before any demolition. This ensures that if a repair is needed, the access point can be as small and precise as possible.

How accurate is your detection process?

Our combination of acoustic sensors, pressure testing, and experienced technicians allows us to pinpoint the location of leaks with extremely high accuracy. This saves you money by avoiding unnecessary demolition.

Can a small slab leak really damage my foundation?

Yes, absolutely. Over time, even a small, persistent leak can saturate and erode the soil supporting your foundation. This can cause the slab to shift, heave, or crack, leading to significant structural damage to your home.
