How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Signs include unexplained high water bills, sound of running water when nothing is on, wet or warm spots on floors, mold growth, cracked foundation, or a water meter that spins with all fixtures off. In Oakland's clay soil, slab leaks are common.
What is a slab leak and are Oakland homes prone to them?
A slab leak occurs in the water pipes running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Oakland homes are particularly prone to slab leaks due to the region's expansive clay soil, which shifts with seasonal moisture changes and puts stress on pipes. Homes built in the 1960s–1980s with copper pipes are especially susceptible to pinhole leaks.
