SLAB LEAKS

   Around 2005-2006 we had the misfortune to experience no less than three plumbing leaks under the foundation in three different properties. Commonly called slab leaks or foundation leaks, these leaks typically occur in copper pipe which is run beneath the concrete foundation of the building during construction. Leaks like these can cause a number of problems from higher than normal water bills to complete flooding of the property.  

PREVENT WATER DAMAGE

   Water-related damage causes millions of dollars of losses each year. A sampling of 63 percent of California home insurers found that water-related losses totaled $1.7 billion between 1997 and 2001. Based on the survey data, the average cost of a water claim in 2001 was $4,730, up from $2,537 in 1997, nearly doubling the average cost of a water claim in four years.
