Leak detection & repair

Find the leak. Fix it once.

Hidden leaks destroy homes quietly — under slabs, inside walls, above ceilings. We locate slab leaks, pinhole leaks, and broken water lines with professional detection equipment, then repair them surgically with minimal disruption.


The leaks we hunt

Central Texas's greatest hits

Our soil, our water, and our construction methods produce a predictable lineup of leak problems. We know them all.

Slab leaks

Water lines under your foundation develop leaks from abrasion, corrosion, or shifting soil. Symptoms: warm floor spots, damp carpet, the sound of running water, a spinning meter. We pinpoint the break and repair it — often rerouting the line overhead to prevent a repeat.

Pinhole leaks

Tiny corrosion pits in copper that mist water inside walls and ceilings. One pinhole is a repair; a pattern of them is a conversation about repiping. We'll show you which situation you're in.

Yard & service line leaks

The line from your meter to the house can crack, corrode, or separate at joints — showing up as soggy patches, lush grass stripes, or a bill that won't quit climbing. We locate and replace the failed section.

Detection, not demolition

We find it before we open anything

The old way: cut holes until you find water. Our way: acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and line-by-line pressure testing that narrow the leak to a precise location. The repair opens a targeted area — not your whole floor. And when the pattern says your pipes are failing system-wide, we'll talk honestly about whole-home repiping instead of selling you repairs one leak at a time.

FAQ

Leak questions, answered

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
The classic signs: a water bill that jumps with no change in usage, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm spots on the floor (hot-water slab leak), damp carpet or baseboards, musty smells, or your water meter spinning when no water is running. Any one of these deserves a professional look.
What is a slab leak and how serious is it?
A slab leak is a break in a water line running under your home's concrete foundation — extremely common in Central Texas homes built on slabs with copper lines in the concrete. Left alone, it erodes soil under the slab, cracks foundations, and feeds mold. Caught early, it's a contained repair. Ignored, it's a foundation problem.
How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?
Acoustic listening equipment that hears pressurized water escaping, thermal imaging that spots temperature anomalies from hot-water leaks, and pressure testing that isolates which line is losing water. We pinpoint the leak's location before opening anything — the repair targets a small area, not a fishing expedition through your floors.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a slab leak?
Often the resulting damage (flooring, drywall) is covered, though the pipe repair itself sometimes isn't — policies vary widely. We document everything with photos and a written report, which is exactly what adjusters need. Check your policy's sudden-water-damage provisions and call your agent early.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipes?
Pinhole leaks — tiny pits that spray fine streams of water — come from water chemistry corroding copper from the inside, sometimes accelerated by aggressive water or poor installation practices (excessive flux). One pinhole often means more are coming, which is why we discuss repiping when we see a pattern rather than just patching each new leak.
