What Factors Influence the Cost of Repairing a Slab Leak in Dallas?
The cost to repair a slab leak in your Dallas home will vary depending on how you choose to address the issue.
Several general factors influence the cost, including the type of plumbing material, accessibility of plumbing, number of plumbing outlets, and the overall linear feet of plumbing. We have an article that breaks down the cost factors for residential plumbing.
The key decision Dallas homeowners must make is whether to opt for an in-slab repair or a complete home repipe:
In Slab Repair
In-slab repair involves opening up your concrete slab with a jackhammer to expose and access the leaking pipes.
This method is both intrusive and expensive. We have seen some quotes that often exceed the cost of a complete home repipe.
It's considered a "temporary" solution because whatever caused the slab leak once has a high likelihood of happening again in another part of the slab.
A Complete Home Repipe
A complete home repipe is the most cost-effective method to ensure that you can avoid any future leaks in your Dallas home. Our repipes completely bypass cutting into the concrete slab. Instead, we reroute all of your plumbing through walls, attics, and ceilings.
Although there is an upfront cost associated with a complete home repipe, it is the only way to guarantee that you will never have to worry about slab leaks in your Dallas home again, as there won't be any water pipes embedded in or underneath the concrete slab anymore.
To take the sting out of unplanned repipe costs, we also offer several financing options, including a Nothing Down, No Interest offer, on approved credit.
Are Slab Leak Repairs Covered by Homeowner's Insurance in Dallas?
Whether slab leak repairs are covered under homeowners' insurance depends on your insurance provider. We've made it easy for you by researching what some Dallas homeowners' insurance providers say:
- Nationwide: Nationwide Insurance will only cover foundation damage if it is "sudden or accidental." The same applies to water damage caused by sudden failures in plumbing systems. If the leak is deemed "preventable," it will not be covered under homeowners' insurance. You can read more about what Nationwide covers when it comes to foundation repair and plumbing damage.
- Allstate: Allstate homeowners' insurance may cover the cost of replacing a damaged slab if it was caused by one of their covered perils. However, they won't cover the cost of replacing the damaged plumbing. They will not cover slab leaks if the damaged plumbing is simply "past their prime".
Although the repair of sudden slab leaks may be covered under Dallas homeowners' insurance policies, it won't address the biggest issue: plumbing underneath the slab. The only permanent solution is to remove all fresh water plumbing from under the slab.
