A slab leak is a pressurized pipe leaking beneath your concrete foundation. The first signs are warm floor spots, unexplained water bills, or water seeping at baseboards. Certified crews locate the moisture footprint with thermal imaging, extract and dry affected flooring and walls, and coordinate with leak-detection plumbers so the pipe repair and the drying happen in the right order.
Tacoma context: Tacoma, Washington state's Pacific maritime climate delivers 35–60 inches of annual rainfall west of the Cascades in a sustained October–April wet season. This persistent rainfall maintains high soil moisture that creates chronic crawl space moisture, foundation seepage through block walls, and mold growth in any area of inadequate ventilation or drainage. Atmospheric river events deliver 3–5 inches in 48 hours, overwhelming drainage systems and causing river flooding in the Snoqualmie, Puyallup, and Skagit valleys. Eastern Washington's high desert receives less rainfall but experiences -20°F winter cold events. Washington's Puget Sound communities face tsunami and seismic risk that can compromise water infrastructure. Washington Insurance Commissioner handles claim disputes.
