Q: How can I spot a concrete slab leak before it becomes a major issue?

• <div><p>Regularly inspecting your foundation&mdash;at least the visible sections&mdash;for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-signs-homes-foundation-trouble.htm">signs of foundation issues</a> like moisture and pest infestation is a good way to identify slab leaks early, as is keeping an eye and ear out for water damage to indoor building materials, above-average water bills, sounds of running water when no fixtures or appliances are on, and indoor humidity that causes the temperatures to feel more extreme. If you do find any issues, contact a plumber right away to check it out for you.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal to have cracks in your basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, all basement floors crack in response to the natural settlement of the soil around them and from concrete shrinkage as it cures, and you&rsquo;ll see hairline cracks as a result. However, you should keep an eye on your basement floor to see if cracks continue to lengthen or widen or show signs of water intrusion. In any of these cases, the problem is likely not settling or shrinkage, and a professional repair is necessary.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for concrete installations?

• <div><p>Periodic sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and integrity.</p></div>
