The Austin angle

Why Central Texas slabs leak.

Austin homes are built on clay and limestone that swell after rain and shrink through drought. The slab rides on that soil, and the copper lines embedded in or under it flex with every cycle. Add hard water working on the pipe from the inside and a pinhole is a matter of time.

This is our own crew working under an Austin slab. Before anyone breaks concrete, we locate the leak, check the condition of the rest of the line, and lay out the honest options. A reroute often costs less and disrupts less than a spot repair under the living room. Tunneling keeps the work outside. Whichever fits, it is warranty-backed.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

What are the signs of a slab leak?+

A water bill that jumped, a warm spot on a floor, the sound of running water with everything off, a water heater that runs constantly, cracks or moisture at the base of walls, or a drop in pressure. A meter test confirms whether water is moving.

Do you have to break up my floor?+

Not always. If the line can be rerouted through the attic or walls, or reached by tunneling under the slab from outside, the floors inside stay intact. We show you the options and what each involves before quoting.

Is a slab leak covered by insurance?+

Policies differ. Many cover the damage a leak causes and some cover access, but not always the pipe repair itself. We document the location and the work, which is what most claims need. Check with your carrier early.

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.

Are you licensed?+

Yes. Rooter-Man of Austin is fully licensed, Texas plumbing license M40109, and we have served the Greater Austin area as a family-owned company since 2012.
