My Floor is Hot. Does This Mean I Have a Leak Under Concrete?

When hot water piping under the slab starts to leak the surrounding soil gains heat and this heat can be transferred to your concrete foundation and through the tile in your home.

It May Not Be A Slab Leak

A leaking shower valve or bathtub valve or even lavatory sink valve can leak enough water for the heat to create hot spot or hot spots in the tile floor. This could be going on for weeks or months without you noticing it and this pent up heat in the floor suddenly feels like an emergency when you discover it walking barefooted. Don’t panic, it needs to be fixed, just give us a call. It probably isn’t as bad as you think.

Then we can find the problem spot and give you several options to either fix or work your way around the problem area. This is something we do on a daily basis for many homeowners throughout Southern California.

Can the Hot Spots Do Damage To My Flooring?

Yes, they can. On linoleum floors they can become discolored and turn black with a mold growing in them. On wood floors the wood can twist and buckle and usually turns a dark shade with the heat. On tile floors the tiles can pop and come loose. The uneven heating and cooling of the slab can cause serious damage to your finish flooring.
