The source of the leak may be obvious to you, such a large puddle around the water heater. Other times it may not, as pipes buried within the slab or walls that could slowly be leaking and build up over time causing damage. Concrete plumbing employs several tools designed to detect your leak. From acoustical tools used to sense leaking water that the human ear might not be able on its own to line tracing, which can be used to track the source of a possible leaking pipe. And most importantly, a plumber can isolate and seal off the leak so that it can be properly repaired.

Slab or concrete plumbing also incorporates the supply and waste lines leading to and from the house. If a home has too much groundwater that has accumulated around the foundation or there is improper drainage, there can be a leaky slab situation that could lead to the damage and erosion of the slab, which could in turn compromise the structure over time if not repaired.
