Leak detection and repair for Austin homes — slab leaks, pipe leaks, and hidden water leaks across Travis County. Call (512) 444-4444 to schedule a diagnostic visit. Slab foundations are standard in Austin, and copper supply lines under slabs in homes built in the 1970s–90s corrode over time — making slab leak detection a common and important service for Austin homeowners.
Your water bill jumped and you can't figure out why. Or you heard water running somewhere in the house when everything was off. That's a slab leak until proven otherwise — and it needs a licensed plumber with detection equipment, not a guess.

Learn MoreAustin-Specific Context
Slab foundations are the norm in Austin. Copper supply lines under slabs are common in 1970s–90s homes and corrode over time. Water behind walls reaches drywall, insulation, and framing within 24–48 hours. Austin's humidity means mold follows fast. A slab leak left unrepaired erodes the foundation material beneath your home's concrete slab. Repair costs rise significantly the longer detection is delayed.

How much will this cost?
Water behind walls reaches drywall, insulation, and framing within 24–48 hours. Austin's humidity means mold follows fast. A slab leak left unrepaired erodes the foundation material beneath your home's concrete slab. Repair costs rise significantly the longer detection is delayed. We tell you the price after diagnosing the problem and before touching anything. Call (512) 444-4444 to get started.
Do I really need a plumber, or can I handle this myself?
Some plumbing tasks are DIY-able — a slow drain from a single fixture, cleaning a faucet aerator, replacing a toilet flapper. If the problem is recurring, involves multiple fixtures, or shows signs of a deeper issue (slab leak, sewer line, water heater), a licensed plumber is the right call. We'll tell you honestly if it's something you can handle yourself.
How long will this take?
Drain cleaning: 45–90 minutes. Water heater replacement: 2–4 hours. Slab leak detection: 1–2 hours assessment. Sewer camera inspection: 30–60 minutes. Repiping: 1–3 days. We give you a time estimate when we arrive and review the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a slab leak in my Austin home?
Common signs include an unexplained jump in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm or wet spots on your floor, cracks in walls or flooring, and low water pressure throughout the house. If you notice any of these, call for a diagnostic visit.
How do you detect a slab leak?
We use electronic leak detection equipment, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to locate the leak without guessing. We confirm the location before presenting repair options. We don't start cutting concrete without knowing exactly where the leak is.
How much does slab leak detection cost in Austin?
Slab leak detection typically runs $300–$600 for the assessment. Repair costs depend on the location and extent of the leak. We present the full scope and price before any repair work begins.
Can a slab leak damage my foundation?
Yes. A slab leak left unrepaired erodes the soil and material beneath your home's concrete slab. Over time this can cause foundation movement and cracking. Early detection and repair prevents this progression.
