Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Arlington, TX
When something goes wrong with your slab leak detection & repair in Arlington, you need someone who can be there fast. Calls go to a working tech, not a call center. You'll get a real estimate over the phone when we can give one.
What we cover
Slab leaks are pinhole leaks in copper plumbing lines that run inside or under a concrete slab foundation. Common in 1960s through 1980s slab-on-grade builds across the Sun Belt and parts of the Midwest.
Signs: warm or wet spots on the floor, unexplained jumps in the water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, mildew smell along baseboards. Hot-side leaks show up faster than cold-side because of the warm spot.
Detection runs $280–$480 standalone. We use acoustic listening equipment plus an infrared thermal camera. Once we've located it, you have two repair options.
Option A: re-route the failed line through the attic or crawl space, abandoning the line in the slab. Cost: $1,400–$2,800. Faster, no jackhammer, and future-proofs against the next pinhole on that line.
