Worked examples
Invented situations, not real jobs or customers. Each one follows the clues a homeowner notices, the checks that narrow down the cause and the repair decision that comes after.
Every example here is illustrative, built from common situations. None is a real job, customer or address.
- Hypothetical: the warm hallway
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It follows a typical hot line slab leak from the first warm tile to a confirmed repair.
- Hypothetical: the second slab leak
An invented example, not a real job or customer. It shows how a second slab leak changes the conversation from fixing a hole to deciding about the whole system.
- Hypothetical: the bill that was not a slab leak
An invented example, not a real job or customer. It shows how a few simple tests kept a homeowner from assuming the worst.
- Hypothetical: the wet baseboard
An invented example, not a real job or customer. A damp wall looked like a slab leak, but a still meter told a different story.
- Hypothetical: the leak under the kitchen island
An invented example, not a real job or customer. Leak location found the problem in the worst possible spot, and the owners had to decide how to reach it.
- Hypothetical: a slab leak during a home sale
An invented example, not a real job or customer. A slab leak surfaces in the middle of a sale, and the sellers need a clear, documented answer quickly.
