A leak in the pipes beneath your foundation
A slab leak is a leak in one of the water lines running underneath the concrete slab your home sits on. Because the pipe is buried in or below the foundation, even a small leak can go unnoticed for weeks — quietly driving up your water bill, eroding the soil under your home, and eventually threatening the foundation itself.
In the Dallas–Fort Worth area this is especially common. Our region's expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, shifting foundations through every season. That constant movement stresses the copper and PEX lines under the slab until a joint fails or a pinhole develops. It's not a sign you did anything wrong — it's a feature of building on North Texas clay.
The right fix for your home
- Spot Repair: Best for a single, newly-formed leak in otherwise healthy pipe. We access just the affected section and repair it.
- Re-Route: We abandon the failed line under the slab and run a new line through walls or ceiling — avoiding future slab work.
- Whole-Home Re-Pipe: For older homes with repeated failures, replacing the supply system end-to-end is the most cost-effective long-term fix.
Slab leak questions, answered
How do I know if the leak is under my slab?
Common signs: a moving water meter when fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor, unexplained spikes in your water bill, low pressure, or water appearing at baseboards or flooring seams.
Do you have to break concrete to find the leak?
No. We pressure-test and locate electronically before recommending any access at all — and when access is needed, tunneling or re-routing usually avoids opening your slab from above.
Is a slab leak dangerous to my foundation?
Left alone, yes — escaping water erodes and destabilizes the soil supporting the slab. Early detection is the difference between a targeted repair and a structural problem.
Tunneling or re-routing — which is right for my home?
Isolated single leaks with accessible runs favor tunneling. Repeat leaks, aging copper, or hard-to-reach lines usually favor a re-route or re-pipe. We quote the options side by side so you can decide.
