Why a slab leak is happening to your home or office

When we are working with homeowners to prevent slab leak issues, it often involves redirecting storm water away from the foundation of the home with gutters, drains and grading the landscaping. For this reason, when we are doing repairs for slab leaks, we are often undoing the damage from water-logging. Other reasons there might be foundation leaks is due to a disrupted pipe. Some of the signs that plumbing or sewer pipes are to blame include water gushing out of the foundation, hot spots on the floor, and toilets or sinks that will not drain.

Problems to expect from slab leaks

Sadly, some foundations require a lot of work because the damage extends to the sub-slab or has already caused a lot of damage to the buildings due to shifting. While all of these problems can be fixed and prevented, one that can truly put occupants at risk are the health factors associated with mold or bacteria that can collect in the slab and seep into the indoors. This is especially true if there is raw sewage trapped in the slab or sub-slab.

How we find slab leaks

Slab leak detection involves being able to “see” through the concrete and soil with specialized tools to get a better understanding of damage, if any, but one of the best areas to inspect first is the plumbing. By using specialized cameras at the end of plumbing ropes, slab leak detectives can check to see if the issue is caused by a pipe leak. Once this popular culprit is ruled out, more techniques can be used to determine how the foundation can be fixed.

Modern ways to repair slab leaks without digging

In the past, fixing a pipe that was leading to a foundation issue was usually fixed by removing concrete, soil, and the old pipe to replace it with a new one. Today, the newest technique that saves homeowners a significant amount of time and money is “trenchless” or “repiping” methods. This involves using a sprayer device on the end of a rope that sends food-grade, liquid epoxy (plastic) to the broken pipe area. Once the epoxy hardens within a few hours, it is strong and completely seals the water or sewer pipe. Although there are some extreme situations where this method will not work, it has the confidence of the U.S. Navy and has been used in Europe for the past 40 years.

In TechCrunch’s recent article about Fuller House, I, at first, was angry at their negative claims towards the series, as well as Netflix itself. The author began the article by making claims towards Netflix about money grabbing through viewers’ nostalgia, as well as completely dismissing Fuller House’s quality and legitimacy. While the points in the beginning of the article are valid, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are true or good. Oh, it was so unfair to single out Netflix in the cable-networking topple and the nostalgia greed, I thought. After all, everybody in show business has always tried to make a profit off the audience; that’s what it’s been since its origins in theater! However, as I kept reading, I realized that I had been conned by the author’s hook. Their intent wasn’t necessarily to blaspheme against the gods of Netflix, but was to actually wake people up to our new future of media.

Once the author made the statement that Netflix’s intended audience for Fuller House was children, the rage cleared and the article began to make sense. This article was for all the media snobs who worship series like, “”Orange Is the New Black,”” or, “”House of Cards,”” who were wrongfully giving flack to Netflix for their recent nostalgia-grab. The author is spelling out to the world that a streaming business like Netflix needs to actually appeal to as many demographics as possible, which is reasonable. When coming head-to-head with a long-time business like cable television, a streaming business like Netflix has to create interesting, original content for most everyone to enjoy. How’s one going to topple a huge corporate monster without employing techniques of their own? Once these points and the author’s position became very clear to me, I was relieved. Of course media is changing, and of course a company isn’t always going to mine gold out of producer’s scripts. Deep, psychological dramas or commentaries on our American lifestyle aren’t going to appeal to all, even as much as one demographic praises them.

I, for one, openly accept our new media-streaming overlords. It’s convenient for me, as a single adult, to control when and what I want to watch, and I can see the incredible benefit for those families with children. Fuller House may not be a distinguished title, but I do hope it gives children a more exciting watch than what cable can provide.
