Why slab leaks are common in Laguna Niguel homes
Most Laguna Niguel homes went up from the 1970s through the 1990s on concrete slabs, with copper supply pipe running under the floor. Decades of water flow, pipe contact with concrete and fittings under pressure can wear a hole in that pipe, and the leak stays hidden until the floor above it warms, swells or gets wet.
A hot water leak under the slab often shows up as a warm patch first. Slab leak water damage covers the drying side of the job, and the EPA WaterSense leak page explains how to check a meter for a leak.
Slab Leak Warning Signs Check questions
How do I check my meter for a leak?
Turn off every faucet and appliance, note the meter reading or the leak indicator, wait an hour without using water, then look again. Movement means water is going somewhere.
Is a warm floor always a slab leak?
Not always, but a warm patch with no heating under it is a classic sign of a hot water pipe leaking under the slab.
Who fixes the pipe?
A plumber locates and repairs or reroutes the pipe. The restoration team handles the wet flooring, drywall and slab drying around it.
Should I shut off the water?
If the meter moves with everything off, close the main shutoff until the leak is found. It stops more water from soaking the slab.
