Slab Leaks

YOU CAN'T IGNORE SLAB LEAKS

What Causes Slab Leaks?

Slab leaks can result from a variety of causes, including:

• Pipe corrosion
• Broken or cracked pipes
• Foundational shifts

Slab leaks tend to be more prevalent in older homes as they have settled more into their foundations, increasing the risk of pipe bursts. Leaks can occur on both the pressure and drainage sides of your foundation's plumbing and can wreak havoc on your home if not addressed quickly. This is why it is important to recognize the signs of a slab leak and contact a plumbing contractor as soon as you see any indication that something might be wrong.

How Do I Know If I Have a Slab Leak? 

Some telltale signs that you may have a slab leak include:

• Hot areas of your floor: A hot water line leak can signal itself by creating warm areas on your floor.
• The sound of running water: When you hear running water in your home or building that has no evident source, this can indicate the presence of a slab leak.
• Reduced water pressure: One or more pipes leaking can reduce the overall water pressure in that area of your home or building.
  
• Damp walls, ceilings, or floors: Regions of your structure or house showing obvious signs of moisture collecting behind a wall, floor, or ceiling are clearly trouble. It’s time to call the pros.
  

Sewer Services for Broken, Damaged, and Irreparable Systems

Do your sewer lines exhibit signs of clogging or leaks? Avoiding a plumbing disaster may depend on responding quickly to warning signs like significant back-ups or draining into your yard. Once the sewer line becomes damaged, calling in the experts fast becomes crucial and time-sensitive: serious structural damage is entirely possible the longer a break exists. Things like stressed joints, cracks, and breaks in the piping can result from root intrusion. If you have an older system, it becomes increasingly susceptible to damage from roots or wear.

Drainage Solutions & Sump Pump Services

If your home or commercial structure demands a sump pump because of the need for equipment to drive water away during a heavy storm, it is crucial that it is operating at peak levels. Our region is no stranger to heavy rains, and undue accumulation can cause significant water and structural damage. Enough water building up behind foundations can lead to hydrostatic pressure, which means your foundation itself can weaken or suffer catastrophic damage. At Sitko Services, our plumbers can perform all routine maintenance or emergency repairs to keep your home or building safe.

Why Is My Garbage Disposal Jammed?

A malfunctioning garbage disposal can create foul odors in your kitchen, prevent you from being able to use your sink, and be a major inconvenience overall. Many garbage disposal clogs and jams are the result of large food chunks and cooking grease becoming stuck within the waste line or trap. Generally speaking, it is recommended to only flush small, soft food particles down your disposal and to flush your unit with plenty of water both during use and for about 30 seconds after.

Some of the most common causes of garbage disposal clogs and jams include:

• Egg shells and coffee grounds
• Starchy foods like pasta and rice
• Onion skins, celery, and artichokes
• Fats and oils
