Checklists you can print
Fill-in sheets for the meter test, your shutoff valves, insurance photos and the first visit. Print one, keep it by the front door, and you will have the answers we ask for when you call.
- Water meter leak test log
Print this page or copy the table into a notebook. Logging every meter test turns a hunch about a slab leak into a record a plumber can act on.
- Slab leak symptom log
Slab leak clues show up one at a time and are easy to forget. This log keeps them in one place, with dates and locations, so a pattern can emerge.
- Home water shutoff map
When water is coming up through a floor, nobody should be searching for a valve. Fill in this map once and post it where everyone in the household can find it.
- Preparing for a slab leak location visit
A little preparation helps a licensed plumber find a slab leak faster and with more confidence. Work through this checklist the day before the visit.
- Repair option worksheet: spot repair, reroute or repipe
Use this worksheet after a slab leak is located and you have at least one written proposal. It helps you weigh the options on the things that matter for your house.
- Slab leak contractor hiring checklist
Tick through this list before you sign anything. It covers license checks, scope, paperwork and the warning signs that should make you pause.
- Slab leak damage photo checklist
Photos taken before anything is removed are the hardest records to recreate. Work through this list room by room, then label and back up the files.
- Follow-up calendar after a slab leak repair
A still water meter on repair day is a good start. These scheduled checks confirm the repair held and catch any second leak early.
