A higher water bill and a warm spot on the floor aren’t nothing.

An unexplained spike in your water bill, a warm patch on the slab floor, the sound of running water when every fixture’s off, or a damp spot on the carpet with no obvious source — those are classic signs of a slab leak. Water is escaping from a pipe running under your foundation, and left alone, it doesn’t get better on its own.

Texas Plumbing & Drain detects and repairs slab leaks for homes and businesses across Aledo, Weatherford, Fort Worth, and the west DFW Metroplex — before that leak turns into a foundation problem.

Quick note on what this page covers: this is leak detection before foundation damage has occurred — catching a slab leak early and dealing with it. If your foundation has already been repaired (piered, leveled) and you need plumbing tested or repaired as part of or after that process, see our Post-Foundation-Repair Plumbing Testing & Repair page instead.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO HERE

Plumbing Leak Detection

Before we cut into anything, we find out exactly where the leak is using acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing — pinpointing the leak’s location under the slab instead of guessing and tearing up more floor than necessary.

Under-Slab Leak Detection

Specifically for leaks in the water lines running beneath your foundation — these are trickier to locate than an exposed pipe leak because you can’t see or easily access the line. Specialized equipment lets us narrow down the leak’s location before any digging or tunneling starts.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Once we’ve located the leak, repair options generally fall into a few categories: a direct spot repair (accessing that one section of pipe), rerouting the line above the slab instead of under it, or in some cases a full repipe if the existing under-slab lines are failing in multiple spots. We’ll walk you through which option actually fits your situation.

Tunneling for Plumbing Repairs

When a slab leak needs direct access to the pipe and rerouting isn’t the right call, tunneling lets us reach the damaged section from underneath without breaking up your entire slab. (This is also how we access lines during Post-Foundation-Repair plumbing work — see our Post-Foundation-Repair Plumbing Testing & Repair page for that side of tunneling.)

FAQ — STRAIGHT ANSWERS

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Common signs: an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing’s turned on, warm spots on your floor (if it’s a hot water line leaking), damp carpet or flooring with no obvious cause, or the water meter still spinning when everything in the house is off.

Is a slab leak an emergency?

It’s not always a “call right now, drop everything” emergency the way a burst pipe is, but it’s not something to sit on either. Left unaddressed, a slab leak can erode the soil under your foundation over time and turn into a foundation problem — which is a much bigger, more expensive fix.

How do you find a leak under the slab without tearing up my whole floor?

We use acoustic detection equipment (listening for the sound of the leak itself) combined with pressure testing to narrow the leak’s location before any digging starts — that’s the whole point of detection first, repair second.

What are my repair options once you find the leak?

Depends on the leak’s location and how bad the surrounding pipe is: a direct spot repair, rerouting the line above the slab instead of repairing under it, or in cases where multiple sections are failing, a full repipe. We’ll explain the trade-offs of each for your specific situation.

Can a slab leak cause foundation damage?

Yes — water escaping under your slab can erode or saturate the soil supporting your foundation over time, which is exactly why catching a slab leak early matters. This is the difference between our two related pages: catching it early lives here; dealing with plumbing after foundation repair already happened lives on our Post-Foundation-Repair page.

What’s the difference between this page and your Post-Foundation-Repair page?

This page is about detecting and repairing a leak before it’s caused foundation problems. Post-Foundation-Repair is about testing and repairing your plumbing after your foundation has already been piered or leveled — different starting point, related but distinct work.

Does homeowners insurance cover slab leak repair?

Coverage varies by policy and by cause — some policies cover the cost to access and repair the leak but not the resulting flooring/foundation damage, others differ. We recommend checking with your insurance provider directly; we can provide documentation of our findings to support a claim.
