Q: Can a slab leak cause a sinkhole?

• <div><p>It is possible for a slab leak to cause a sinkhole, but it would have to be a particularly serious leak. A slab leak causes the land under your home to erode and if there is enough movement depressions will form in the ground, potentially causing a sinkhole.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a leak under the sink?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">cost to fix a leaky pipe</a> ranges depending on location&mdash;the easier the pipe is to access, the less expensive the repair will be. Because a leaky pipe under the sink is typically an exposed pipe, this is one of the least expensive repairs for a plumber to do, often costing between <b>$150 to $300</b> to fix, on average.</p></div>

Q: Why is my toilet constantly dripping inside?

• <div><p>While a toilet dripping on the outside can be caused by condensation, a toilet that is constantly dripping on the inside is usually caused by a deteriorated flapper. This is one of the most common types of toilet leaks. As the flapper degrades, it won&rsquo;t seal properly, and water will constantly leak into the toilet.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a shower leak behind the wall?

• <div><p>Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around <b>$150 to $600</b> to repair a leaking shower.</p></div>
