Meet Chris Goad: Slab Leaks, Stoppages, and 20 Years of Family
Chris Goad is a plumbing technician at True Plumbers, and his profile covers the real range of a service plumber's week: everything from a stoppage to a slab leak to a kitchen faucet change-out. Originally from Oklahoma, married 20 years with three kids, he is one of the experienced hands Central Florida homeowners ask for by name.
Slab leaks 101 (a very Florida problem)
Chris mentions slab leaks in passing, but for Florida homeowners they deserve the spotlight. Most homes here sit on a concrete slab with water lines running beneath or inside it - so when one of those lines fails, the leak is invisible by design. It announces itself sideways.
- A warm spot on the floor - hot line leaks radiate heat up through the concrete
- A water bill that jumps with no change in habits
- The sound of running water when every fixture is off
- Damp carpet edges, cupping wood floors, or a musty smell with no visible source
- The meter test: everything off, and the meter dial still creeps
The good news about a scary diagnosis
Modern detection - acoustic listening, thermal imaging, pressure isolation - locates a slab leak without exploratory demolition, and the fix is often a reroute of that one line overhead rather than jackhammering the living room. If the house has had more than one, that is the repipe conversation, and it is a planned project rather than a panic.
