Leak Repair in Fort Worth, TX

The Slab Leak Problem in Fort Worth

Most homes built here in the last 50 years sit on concrete slabs with copper water lines running underneath. The black clay soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. The slab moves a little each season. The pipes move with it until a weak spot starts to drip, then spray.

A slab leak wastes water every hour it runs. It can also lift flooring, feed mold inside walls and undercut the soil under the slab. The sooner it is found, the smaller the repair.

Signs of a Hidden Leak

• A water bill that jumps for no reason. The meter keeps moving even when no tap is open.
• A warm or damp spot on the floor. A hot water line leaking under the slab heats the concrete above it.
• The sound of running water with everything off. Water is going somewhere it should not.
• Cracks in tile or flooring that keep spreading. Moving soil and water under the slab push floors around.

How We Handle a Leak

1. We confirm the leak with a meter test so we know it is real.
2. We locate the leak as close as we can before anything is opened.
3. You get the repair options with clear prices. Sometimes a spot repair is right. Sometimes rerouting the line over the slab is the better fix.
4. The repair gets pressure tested before we close anything up.
