Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Dallas, TX
When something goes wrong with your slab leak detection & repair in Dallas, you need someone who can be there fast. What we won't do: try to sell you a service plan, push the most expensive option, or send a sales rep before sending a tech.
Dallas-area patterns we see
Our techs know the Dallas area: housing stock, soil, water main configurations, the parts that usually fail first.
That said, newer construction in Dallas has its own set of typical issues. We see both.
What you're paying for
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.
