Slab Leaks in OKC from broken drain lines on the rise

If you live in Warr Acres, Bethany or NW Oklahoma City you probably get to see a plumbing truck in your neighborhood on a daily basis. Most homes in those areas were built in the late 60's and early 70's using copper lines for fresh water and cast iron drain lines under the slab. Over half of our calls are in a ten mile circle from this area. If you have water backing up into the garage when you do laundry or a foul smell in your air ducts, chances are high you have a drain line problem. Here are some pictures to help you visualize what is happening under your slab.

Typically the affected lines are the 2" kitchen, washing machine and condensation drain lines. This explains why water comes out in your garage; because the condensation drain for your air conditioner is the lowest plumbed fixture and the first place water escapes.

GO THUNDER,
