Common Causes in Lucas

Foundation Movement

Lucas sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, stressing foundation and pipes.

Copper Pipe Corrosion

Many Lucas homes have copper pipes under the slab that corrode over time, developing pinhole leaks.

Poor Original Installation

Pipes installed with improper bedding or inadequate protection can fail prematurely.

High Water Pressure

Excessive municipal water pressure stresses pipe joints and fittings beneath the slab.
