Hidden supply route
A pressurized line below flooring can release water out of sight. Meter movement with all fixtures off is a useful reason to arrange professional leak detection.
Warm floor signal
A leak on a hot-water route can warm the finish above it. The sign is useful for screening, while electronic detection identifies the actual source.
Moisture beyond the spot
Water can move through concrete joints, flooring seams, and wall bottoms. A restoration moisture map checks the full affected boundary after the pipe is controlled.

(888) 417-5665LaPlace slab leak helpHow do I check for a slab leak with the water meter?
Turn off every tap, appliance and irrigation, then watch the meter's leak indicator for several minutes. If it still moves, water is going somewhere.
Why is the floor warm in one spot?
A leak on the hot water pipe under the slab heats the concrete above it. Warm spots near the kitchen or a bathroom are a common sign.
Who finds and fixes the leaking pipe?
A plumber runs electronic leak detection and repairs or reroutes the pipe. The restoration team handles the water: lifting wet flooring, extraction and drying the slab and walls.
Does homeowners insurance cover a slab leak?
Many policies cover the resulting water damage and access to the pipe but not the pipe itself. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Can a slab leak wait a few days?
A leak under the slab keeps feeding water into the concrete, flooring and wall bottoms. Shut off the main if the meter keeps moving and get it looked at.
Slab leak soaking the floor? Get it dried out.
Water under the slab spreads into flooring, baseboards and wall bottoms. The extraction crew lifts what is wet and dries the concrete.
