Slab Leaks and Knoxville's Shifting Soil
A huge share of Knoxville homes sit on concrete slabs poured over clay-heavy soil. When East Tennessee's wet springs and freeze-thaw winters make that soil heave and settle, the copper or PEX lines running through the slab flex — and eventually pinhole or crack. The leak runs silently for weeks: your only clues are the water bill, a warm patch of floor, or the faint sound of running water at 2 a.m. Catching it early is the difference between a targeted repair and major foundation and flooring damage. If any of those signs sound familiar, don't wait.
