Not all leaks are immediately obvious, but there are telltale signs that something might be wrong. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call in the professional plumbers at Red Cap:

1. Water Pooling in Your Yard - Unexplained standing water or unusually lush grass in specific areas of your lawn may indicate a hidden leak in your yard.

2. Unusually High Water Bills - A sudden spike in your water bill without a change in usage is often a sign of a leak.

3. Moisture, Mold, or Stains - Damp walls, ceilings, or visible mold growth could mean there’s a leak behind the surface.

4. Decreased Water Pressure - If your water pressure has dropped noticeably, there may be a leak in your water line that’s disrupting flow.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait to seek professional help, give us a call today. Addressing leaks early can save you from costly repairs and extensive damage down the road.

Slab leaks occur when water pipes beneath your home’s concrete foundation develop leaks. These leaks can go undetected for extended periods, leading to severe damage if not addressed. Common causes of slab leaks include:

• Corroded Pipes - Over time, pipes can corrode due to the interaction of water and metal, especially in areas with hard water.

• Shifting Foundation - Natural shifts in your home’s foundation can place pressure on pipes, causing cracks and leaks.

• Abrasion - Pipes that rub against concrete, gravel, or other materials can wear down and develop leaks.

• High Water Pressure - Excessively high water pressure can stress pipes, increasing the likelihood of leaks.

If you suspect a slab leak, it’s important to act quickly. Red Cap has the expertise and specialized equipment to locate and repair slab leaks with minimal disruption to your home.
