How Can I Tell If I Have a Slab Leak?

A slab leak is one of those problems that sneaks up on you. Maybe you step onto your kitchen floor and it feels strangely warm. Maybe your water bill is suddenly higher than usual, and you’re left scratching your head. At 2 Sons Plumbing Auburn, we’ve helped many local families catch slab leaks early, before they turned into major headaches. With a little awareness, you can too.

Everyday Signs That Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Slab leaks happen under your foundation, but they leave behind little warning signs. Auburn homeowners often notice:

Water bills climbing for no reason. If you’re paying for water you didn’t use, it’s a red flag.
Warm or damp spots under your feet. Barefoot on tile or hardwood and finding heat or moisture where it shouldn’t be is a common clue.
The sound of running water. Hearing water even when nothing’s on usually means a leak below the surface.
Musty smells or damp baseboards. That faint odor of mildew could be your home telling you water is building up underneath.

It’s tempting to shrug these off, but slab leaks can grow quietly until they affect your floors, your foundation, and even the safety of your home.

Quick Answer: Higher bills, warm flooring, and water sounds with no source are the biggest clues a slab leak may be hiding in your Auburn home.

Quick Checks You Can Do Right Now

Think you might have a slab leak? Here’s what you can try on your own before calling for help:

Turn off all water. Shut down sinks, toilets, and appliances.
Check the water meter. If it’s still moving, water is escaping somewhere.
Walk barefoot. Sometimes your feet will find warm or damp patches before your eyes do.

These steps aren’t a fix—they just confirm your suspicion. If you notice puddles, foundation cracks, or water spreading quickly, don’t wait. That’s the time to bring in a licensed plumber.

When to Call: The moment you see flooding, spreading dampness, or cracks forming, call 2 Sons Plumbing Auburn right away. Slab leaks don’t wait, and neither should you.

Dave and David came and cleared out a huge clog in my kitchen sink (both sides) that has been plaguing us for a while as well a ton of glass shards that got into the drain when our glass fridge shelf broke. Dave walked us through each step of the process and explained everything which was excellent. He also gave us advice about galvanized piping replacement. They even gave us a few free parts for the sink drain that had eroded away and didn’t charge extra for it!! All around 5 star service!!!

Fantastic service and communication. Local company. Solved my clogged basement laundry utility sink. Dave and David were courteous, informative, professional and easy to engage with. Scheduling was easy (they came the next day) and they arrived within the expected time window. Transparent pricing and i could also apply a coupon. I will use them again.

Great service and Dave their plumber is the best. We have an odd house with even odder plumbing. The pipes are a mess of grandfathered-in open air nonsense, when our pump started making some noises (and a little leaking) after some DIY heat tape adventures (getting ready for colder weather), we were worried that we would need a massive repair but Dave came and looked at it and immediately realized we had unplugged the float plug from the pump plug which was 90% of the problem and the leak just need a little tightening of a flex joint. The company was quick and didn't charge for an estimate or in this case a quick "thats not plugged in right". The experience and the overall professionalism has convinced me that when I do finally need that big repair job, I'll call these guys.

Booking an appointment was extremely easy, and we were able to get one just the next day. Communication was excellent with timely reminders and a call before our appointment. Kerry did a fantastic job both advising us and effectively resolving our issue.

I have all good things to say about 2 Sons Plumbing. My first experience was a few years ago and the whole process went very smoothly. Making the appointment was easy and quick, the repair was done with no problem and I thought the price was fair. Recently, Dave from 2 Sons came out to look at several plumbing problems I was having and, within a matter of minutes, all of the problems were diagnosed. Dave gave me options and estimates all before he left my house. I haven’t had the work done yet but appreciate the information and the prices seemed fair to me. Dave was on time, professional and very knowledgeable. 2 Sons are my go to Plumbers.

Bob at 2 Sons Plumbing was amazing! We had a horribly backed up kitchen sink drain and he was able to fix it, and save us some money in the process! He heard what we had to say about our issue and double checked everything. Super friendly and very helpful. Thank you for the amazing work Bob!

Stellar job by Carey and his team at 2sons today. I had a complex job -- installing a yard hydrant/faucet for a garden across the (private) street. They had to go into the floor of the garage, run piping under the floor, out of the house, across the road. Had to cut into the asphalt, trench down a couple feet, then patch it all up again, including fixing the garage concrete floor. Super job. Looks really clean. Got it all done in a day.

A wonderful experience every time with 2 Sons plumbing. Jake and Angelo helped us with our plumbing issue. They showed up on time and gave a very reasonable estimate for the repair. We ended up replacing a couple of toilets and a part of a sink drain. They came back the next day to complete the work due to our schedule. Excellent communication, prompt, and hard working! Thank you so much Jake and Angelo!! We are very happy with 2 Sons and have used them multiple times.

Brandon and Ethan were awesome. I had a basic plumbing issue that I was too scared to address myself. They were very non judgmental and provided excellent customer service. I totally recommend 2 Sons Plumbing.
