A slab leak is a water or sewer line leak beneath your home's concrete foundation. DFW's expansive clay soil makes slab leaks particularly common. Signs include hot spots on floors, sound of running water, high water bills, cracks in walls or foundation, and damp carpet or flooring.
We locate slab leaks by isolating the meter, pressure-testing to prove the leak is real, determining whether it is on the hot or cold line, and eliminating fixtures until the run is narrowed down — with written findings either way. Repair options include rerouting the affected line through the attic or walls (avoids cutting concrete), or tunnel repair under the slab. We always explain all options and put a firm number on each before you commit to anything. Because slab leak repairs are bigger-ticket work, payment options are available — ask when we price your repair.
