Understanding Slow Air Leaks in Tires

A slow air leak is a gradual loss of tire pressure that happens over hours or days. Unlike a sudden puncture, you may not notice it right away — but it can still cause serious damage if ignored.

Common signs of a slow leak include:

• Your tire pressure warning light coming on frequently

• The car pulling slightly to one side

• The tire looking slightly underinflated

• Reduced fuel efficiency

• Needing to refill one tire repeatedly

Even if your tire looks fine, driving with low pressure can cause uneven wear, poor traction, and even blowouts. That’s why it’s important to address leaks early — before they turn into a flat.

What Causes a Slow Air Leak in a Tire?

Slow leaks can happen for several reasons. Our experienced team at RST Calgary can quickly identify the cause and fix it correctly the first time.

1. Puncture in the Tread Area

Small nails, screws, glass, or sharp debris can pierce your tire without fully deflating it immediately. Over time, air seeps through the hole, causing a slow leak.

2. Faulty Valve Stem

The valve stem is where you add air to your tire. If it becomes corroded, cracked, or loose, air can slowly leak out from that area.

3. Damaged Bead Seal

The bead is the edge of the tire that seals against the rim. If dirt, corrosion, or improper installation prevents a tight seal, you’ll experience a slow air leak around the wheel edge.

4. Cracked or Bent Rim

Calgary’s rough roads and potholes can bend rims, causing air to escape where the tire meets the wheel.

5. Temperature Changes

In cold Alberta winters, tires naturally lose pressure as temperatures drop. However, if one tire loses significantly more than the others, it likely has a leak.

Our Slow Air Leak Repair Services

At RST Roadside Service and Towing, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing tire leaks quickly and safely. Our mobile tire service comes directly to you — no need to drive on a risky tire or wait at a shop.

1. Tire Leak Detection

We use professional leak detection methods — including soap solution testing, air pressure checks, and water submersion techniques — to pinpoint exactly where the air is escaping.

2. On-Site Tire Repair

If the leak is caused by a small puncture in the tread, our technician can plug or patch the hole using high-quality, industry-approved materials. This ensures a long-lasting and safe repair.

3. Valve Stem Replacement

If the leak originates from the valve stem, we’ll replace it with a brand-new one and ensure it’s airtight.

4. Bead and Rim Cleaning

If corrosion or dirt is breaking the seal between the rim and tire, we’ll clean and reseal the area to prevent further leaks.

5. Tire Replacement (if required)

If the damage is too severe to repair — such as a sidewall crack or large puncture — we’ll safely install your spare or tow your vehicle to a trusted tire shop nearby.

The Dangers of Ignoring a Slow Tire Leak

Many drivers overlook a slow air leak because the tire still “looks okay.” However, driving with low pressure can cause major issues, such as:

• Uneven tire wear, leading to premature replacement

• Reduced fuel efficiency and higher costs

• Decreased handling and control, especially at high speeds

• Overheating tires, which can result in blowouts

• Damage to the rim or suspension components

Fixing a slow leak now can save you hundreds of dollars later — and possibly prevent an accident.
