A high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or a patch of yard that never dries out is how most West Lake Hills leaks announce themselves. With slab and pier-and-beam foundations set into limestone hillsides and long service lines with elevation change, where a small leak can run for months under rock before it surfaces, the leak is rarely where the water shows up. We pinpoint it with acoustic sensors and thermal imaging, then repair it, instead of opening walls and floors on a guess.
West Lake Hills is custom homes from the 1970s onward on large wooded lots, many with long private water lines and more than one pressure zone. Water lines here run through the slab or the attic, and the ground under slab and pier-and-beam foundations set into limestone hillsides shifts enough over the seasons to work on every joint and fitting. Add hard water and, on the hills, pressure that swings from too low at the top to too high at the bottom, and copper and galvanized pipe corrode from the inside at the same time.
A slab leak often shows up as a warm floor tile, a water heater that never shuts off, or a bill that doubled. A yard leak shows up as a green stripe or a soft spot. We locate the exact point of failure first, tell you what the repair involves, and give you the price before any concrete or drywall is touched.

It depends where the leak is. Some slab leaks are repaired at the spot, some are rerouted through the attic or walls so no concrete is opened, and some call for tunneling under the slab from outside. On slab and pier-and-beam foundations set into limestone hillsides, we explain which one fits your home and why before quoting.
Yes, and it is common. The service line between the meter and the house runs through soil that moves, and a leak there shows up as a soft or green patch, a drop in pressure, or a bill that jumped. We test at the meter first to tell you which side of the house the problem is on.
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.
