What Is a Slab Leak?
A slab leak occurs when the pipes under your home's foundation start to leak. The severity of the leak doesn't matter — if it's under your foundation, it's a slab leak.
Slab leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Earthquakes
Age of pipes
Friction against the foundation
Improperly built foundation
Extremely hard or soft water
Shifting soil

Carpet that always seems damp in one area
