Why Does Pequea See Slab Leaks?
Karst ground never sits still. Worn rock lets soil sink in uneven ways. That shift strains buried copper. Strained pipe fails at pinholes first. A pinhole can spray unseen for weeks.
Limestone rock sits under much of Pequea. Lancaster County holds vast karst, and Pequea sits right in it. Mild acid in rain wears the rock down. It opens cracks and voids below ground. Water then moves in odd ways.
Water in Lancaster County runs hard. Tests show hardness at 165 mg/L. Hard water leaves scale in pipes. Scale thins copper walls from within. Pinholes open at the thinnest walls.
Pequea homes range from 1800s farmhouses to newer builds. Older ranches sit between them. Those slab ranches hold decades-old copper.
Q: How does rock under Pequea harm my pipes?
A: It shifts the ground. Worn rock lets soil sink. Sinking strains copper. Strained copper gets pinholes.
Q: My Pequea home has a basement. Can it still leak?
A: Yes. Pipe in concrete can leak. Basement floors count. So do garage slabs.
That mix keeps us busy.
