How Do I Know If I Have a Slab Leak?

Think your property might have a slab leak? It’s a scary thought, but you’re not alone—many Federal Way homeowners deal with this hidden issue at some point. A slab leak happens when pipes underneath your home’s foundation start leaking, and because you can’t see them, the damage can sneak up on you. At 2 Sons Plumbing Federal Way, we’ve helped families spot the signs early and avoid major repairs down the road. With alertness and proactive approach, you can catch the warning signs well in time.

Warning Signs of a Slab Leak in Federal Way

Most of the time, slab leaks start with small clues that are quite easy to overlook:

Your water bill suddenly climbs without explanation
A section of the floor feels damp or oddly warm
You can hear water running though all faucets are turned off

A simple test you can carry out is checking the water meter after shutting off all water in the house. If it is still moving, that’s a red flag. You could even try walking barefoot across the floor. Warm spots could mean a leaking hot water line under the slab.

These small signs can mean big trouble later, from warped flooring to mold or even foundation cracks. Prompt action can minimize the mess, stress, and expense for you.

Observe any of these clues? Call 2 Sons Plumbing Federal Way today. Let us check before it becomes serious.

When It’s Time to Call a Plumber

Checking your water meter is one thing. Repairing a slab leak is something else entirely—it’s not a DIY project. You’ll want to call a professional right away if you see:

Pools of water indoors that keep coming back
New or widening cracks in the foundation
A musty smell that lingers no matter how much you clean

Undetected and untreated slab leaks weaken your home’s structure. That’s why our team uses specialized tools like electronic sensors and thermal imaging to find the leak precisely. This allows us to fix the problem without tearing up more of your home than necessary. Faster, cleaner, and far less stressful for you.

What Slab Leak Repairs Cost in Federal Way

The cost depends on where the leak is and how severe it is, but here’s a general idea:

Leak detection: $300–$600
Repairs: $1,000–$5,000+

While those numbers might feel big, delaying repairs almost always costs more in the long run. Water can ruin floors, drywall, furniture—and even weaken the very foundation of your home. Tackling it early is the smartest, most cost-effective choice.

Call for Trusted Slab Leak Help in Federal Way

Slab leaks don’t fix themselves, and waiting only makes them worse. With years of experience, advanced technology, and a commitment to treating your home like our own, 2 Sons Plumbing Federal Way is here to give you peace of mind.

Call us today at (206) 487-1757 to schedule your slab leak inspection. We’ll explain what’s happening in plain language, outline your options clearly, and get the job done right the first time—so you can get back to enjoying your home without worry.

2 Sons Plumbing did a fantastic job! I had a difficult water line replacement job, and they were friendly, quick and professional. The work turned out great. I had Dave as the project manager and he was honest and great to work with.

Would use them again for sure.

The 2 Sons company was prompt, thorough, clean, and performed precise, high-quality work. The office staff and plumbing technician showed professionalism and a focus on details. The finished repair exceeded our expectations, the price was very reasonable (high value for the quoted price), and the technician left the Job site spotless. See attached photo, they used the Big Bertha Motorized Snake to clear a clogged drain, the obstruction was 25 feet away!!

Great service over a holiday weekend. Total failure of our sewer line was fixed with a ten year warranty. Clean, great communication, full fix. It cost a lot -- I mean, it was a major repair in a hundred year old house-- but was reasonable for what we received, and the pricing was very transparent. Seth, Jorge, Shane, Dan, and others were all perfectionists and appreciated.

2 Sons Plumbing is a top notch company. Recently I had a water line hooked up for a new refrigerator and Justin and Bryce were my technicians. They were so competent, careful, and efficient and I really appreciated their professionalism. Justin even showed me how to use the displays on the new fridge. They made sure every thing was clean, the lines flushed and working before they left the house. Their pricing is extremely reasonable also, I got two quotes for installing the waterline and 2 Sons was the most reasonable. Last year I had a clogged kitchen drain during the Christmas holiday's and 2 Sons Plumbing was the only company that would come out right away and not charge a high holiday rate. I highly recommend 2 Sons Plumbing for any plumbing needs.

This is the second time I used 2 Sons Plumbing. This project was to install a toilet. Like the first time, the toilet installation went flawlessly. The support from Autumn and the other folks in the front office made scheduling easy and they were able to reschedule it to meet some changing circumstances on my end. I requested Brandon to do the work as he performed my previous job. He also recommended a high quality toilet that worked in my situation. I was called and texted to let me know he was coming. He was fantastic and explained how he was going to do the work and showed me the conditions of my existing connections. He got it done very quickly and efficiently and did not leave any mess. I’m super impressed with how this company operates.

Thank you, Bob, for your professional, courteous, and kind service! My downstairs tub was running with high pressure due to some worn out stems. Bob was thorough—but unfortunately our fixtures are quite old, and he didn’t have appropriate replacements available the first day. However, they were able to find the appropriate stems for our tub and fixed the leak right away day 2. I cannot speak highly enough about how grateful I am for the way 2 Sons accommodated my schedule when they needed to return with the appropriate fixtures. The technician was a genuine joy to work with—and I appreciate the quick follow up and turn around. I also appreciate the way Bob walked me through the process and double checked for leaks.

We had a great experience. Brandon and Chris were very polite and professional. We had a massive leak under a toilet and they came and fixed it on a Saturday. They were very timely and hardworking. Ethan was another who was also very polite and professional. Pricing was also very manageable for the extent of the problem we had. I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our experience with 2 Sons. We had an emergency that had water all over our kitchen and basement. They were able to send someone out later in the evening for us after several other companies either cancelled on us or said they couldn't come until the next day. Our technician/plumber Riley was great to work with - friendly, quick, and effective! They even gave us a call back a few days later to check in on our experience and to answer some extra questions we had. Highly recommend!

I have not decided to go with 2 Sons for the plumbing issues I have yet. However, I am very impressed by the technician, Guy, who came for the appointment. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. I told him that I was just getting a quote and not ready to commit to do the repair right away. He was very understanding. I have a clogged kitchen sink, disconnected washer hose causing water damage, and likely a disconnected pipe behind the wall. He explained the steps I need to take before he can help for all three issues. Like I should hire the restoration company to repair the water damage before reconnecting the pipes. He also helped to take pictures and referred me to a restoration company for the jobs outside of his scope. Before he left, he measured the water pressure to make sure the pressure is within a normal range. Just to make sure the water is not putting too much pressure on the fixtures resulting leaks. It was definitely a surprisingly pleasant and thorough experience with Guy.
