Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Slab leaks under Dallas homes -- common in areas with older copper piping and shifting clay soil -- often show up first as an unexplained jump in the water bill or a warm patch on the floor. Ceiling leaks can travel along a joist before showing a stain, so the wet spot is not always directly under the source.
We use acoustic listening equipment and, when needed, thermal imaging to pinpoint a leak before opening drywall or cutting into a slab. Finding the exact location first means a smaller, more targeted repair.
Common Issues We Fix
Slab leaks
A pressurized water line under the foundation develops a pinhole leak, often from pipe corrosion or ground movement. Signs include a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or unexplained water bill increases.
Ceiling and wall leaks
Usually a supply line or drain leak from a floor above, or condensation from an HVAC line. We trace the path before cutting into anything.
Underground yard line leaks
A soggy patch of yard, unusually green grass in one spot, or low water pressure at the house can point to a leaking underground service line.
Corroded or pinhole copper pipe leaks
Older copper supply lines can develop pinhole leaks from age, water chemistry, or electrolysis. We assess whether a spot repair or a broader repipe makes more sense.
Our Process
Confirm there is a leak, not just a symptom
A water meter check and a review of usage patterns rules out simple explanations before we assume something is broken.
Locate it with acoustic and thermal equipment
We pinpoint the leak's location as precisely as possible before opening a slab, wall, or ceiling.
Access with minimal disruption
A targeted access point beats guessing -- we open only what is needed to reach the actual leak.
Repair and pressure test
After the repair, we pressure test the line to confirm the leak is fully resolved before closing anything back up.
