If your water bill suddenly jumps and you can’t figure out why, it’s more than just frustrating — it can be a sign of a serious plumbing issue hiding beneath your home’s foundation. At Mitch the Plumber, we help Ann Arbor homeowners get to the bottom of unexplained water usage every day, and one of the most common culprits is a slab leak.

What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak happens when a water line running beneath your home’s concrete foundation begins to leak. Because the pipes are buried and not visible, slab leaks often go unnoticed until they start causing damage — or until your utility bill suddenly spikes.

Signs You Might Have a Slab Leak

• Unexplained increase in your water bill
• Warm spots on your floors
• Low water pressure throughout your home
• Sound of running water when no fixtures are on
• Moisture, mildew, or damp carpet inside
• Cracks in walls or flooring

If you’re noticing one or more of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Slab leaks can lead to foundation damage, mold growth, wasted water, higher bills, and costly repairs if ignored.
