What we handle

Leak Detection, end to end.

Slab leak detectionWarm floors, running-water sounds, and bills that doubled traced to the exact spot under the slab.
Wall & ceiling leaksDamp drywall and stains tracked to the fitting or fixture behind them, not the whole wall.
Yard & water line leaksSoft, green, or soggy patches traced to the service line between the meter and the house.
Acoustic & thermal toolsNon-invasive location first, so the repair opens one spot instead of five.
Repair, reroute, or tunnelSpot repair, an attic reroute, or tunneling under the slab, whichever fits the leak and the home.
High water bill diagnosisIf the meter spins with everything off, we find out why.

The Austin angle

Austin leaks hide under concrete.

Most Central Texas homes sit on a slab, so supply lines run under the concrete or through the attic. Clay and limestone soil moves with every wet and dry spell, hard water works on the inside of copper and galvanized pipe, and a pinhole leak can run for months before it shows.

Guessing is expensive. We locate the leak first with acoustic and thermal tools, then explain exactly what the repair involves. Sometimes that is a spot repair. Sometimes a reroute through the attic avoids opening the slab entirely. When tunneling is the honest answer, we say so, and you see the price before anything is touched.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

How do you find hidden leaks?+

We use non-invasive acoustic sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint yard leaks, slab leaks, wall leaks, and fixture leaks without tearing your home apart guessing. You often get a ballpark estimate right over the phone.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?+

The classic signs are a water bill that jumped, the sound of running water when everything is off, a warm spot on the floor, a water heater that never seems to shut off, or low pressure. Any one of those is worth a call. A quick meter test tells us whether water is moving somewhere it should not be.

Do you fix the leak or just find it?+

Both. Locating is the first step; the same licensed plumber explains the repair options, quotes the price, and does the work, backed by our warranty.

How much will my service cost?+

It depends on the job, but we believe in transparent, upfront pricing. For many services we can give you a ballpark estimate over the phone, and you always see the price before any work begins. No upsell pressure.

Can I call any time?+

Yes. Our phone line is answered 24/7, so you can call day or night to describe the problem and get on the schedule. Our crews run during regular service hours, and we work to get a licensed plumber out at the first available appointment, same-day whenever possible.
