Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Round Rock, TX
Central Texas clay soil and limestone geology make slab leaks a common Round Rock problem. Our specialized electronic detection equipment finds them precisely — and our licensed team fixes them right.
Slab Leak Detection problems? We fix them all — same day, every time.
Central Texas soil is uniquely challenging for residential plumbing. Round Rock sits on expansive clay soils that absorb water during wet periods (expanding) and lose moisture during drought (contracting). This constant cycle places severe stress on the supply and drain lines embedded in your concrete slab foundation — so Round Rock homeowners experience slab leaks at a significantly higher rate than most of the country. A slab leak can silently erode your foundation, saturate your subfloor, and promote mold growth before any visible signs appear.
We don't patch symptoms. We identify the root cause, fix it properly, and confirm your system is fully functional before we leave your Round Rock home.

Common slab leak detection problems our Round Rock team repairs every day
Spot Repair
Open concrete at the leak location only, repair the pipe, and patch the slab. Best for a single isolated leak in good-condition pipe.
Pipe Rerouting
Run new pipe above the slab (through walls/attic), bypassing the leaking section. Best for multiple leaks or corroded pipe.
Epoxy Pipe Lining
Internal pipe lining through the existing pipe — no concrete opening. Best for pinhole leaks in accessible straight runs.
Full Repipe
Complete replacement of all underslab supply lines. Best for aged pipes, multiple leaks, or galvanized/deteriorated pipe.

- Cracks appearing in walls, floors, or the foundation itself
- Mold or mildew odors — moisture beneath the slab
- Low water pressure throughout the house — supply line leak
- Wet or damp yard in one specific area with no irrigation running
