Slab Leaks
Slab leaks are major plumbing issues that can be incredibly damaging and cost intensive if ignored. Unfortunately, they may go unnoticed for extended periods if homeowners aren’t paying attention.
A slab leak is when plumbing lines under your home’s concrete slab leaks. This is much more serious than a leak above ground.
IN THE EVENT OF ANY PLUMBING EMERGENCY:
Shut off water to your home & call us immediately at 405-769-1922. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There are numerous causes of slab leaks, but among the most common are ground shifts, poor wrapping, a nick in the line and electrolysis. These causes typically aren’t visible, so there are some signs to look for if you suspect a slab leak:

- Cracks in the wall or floor

If you suspect a slab leak in your home, contact Red Plains Plumbing immediately. Red Plains Plumbing is central Oklahoma’s trusted plumbing company and will service all of your plumbing needs, from leaky faucets to major plumbing problems like slab leaks.

We always recommend hiring a professional, but especially with major plumbing issues, never try to fix it yourself. Hiring a professional plumber gives reassurance that your plumbing jobs will be completed correctly. Amateur plumbing jobs may save money at the time, but can lead to costly damage to your home or place of business. Water is one of the most damaging elements to a home and water damage due to poor plumbing jobs should be avoided at all cost.
