Spotting the Signs of a Slab Leak

A slab leak happens when a water line—hot or cold—under your concrete foundation starts leaking. Here in Hill Country, shifting clay, soil movement, and water chemistry take their toll on pipes. Because these leaks often hide out of sight, they can cause serious damage before you spot them. That’s why it’s so important to catch them early and call our professionals to find the source and fix the problem before things get worse.

Don’t ignore the warning signals your property sends you:

• Unexplained Jump in Water Bill: Higher usage with no clear reason? You might have a hidden leak.
• Water Sounds: Hearing running water when appliances are off signals trouble.
• Warm or Wet Spots Underfoot: Hot or damp patches on your flooring are classic signs.
• Warped Flooring or Damp Carpets: Moisture from below warps planks, buckles tile, or soaks carpets.
• Low Water Pressure: Sudden drop in pressure can mean a major leak.
• Cracks in Foundation or Walls: Shifting due to water erosion can cause unsightly cracks.
• Soggy Yard: Pooling or lush grass along the foundation—look out for this even when it’s dry.

Our Slab Leak Detection & Repair Process

Holloway Plumbing’s licensed experts use the best tools and time-tested methods to find leaks fast—and fix them with minimal mess.

Step 1: Pinpointing the Leak

We don’t dig until we know exactly where the leak is. Tools we use:

• Acoustic & Electronic Detectors zero in on leak sounds below the slab.
• Thermal Imaging Cameras spot hot water lines gone rogue.
• Pressure Testing isolates the affected pipe, so we dig less.

Step 2: Straight-Shooting Repair Options

We give you all your options upfront and explain costs clearly:

• Direct Repair: Ideal when the leak’s in a single, reachable spot. We access the slab, fix the pipe, and restore the area.
• Pipe Reroute or Repiping: For older homes or multiple leaks, running new lines above the slab or repiping is often smart.
• Tunneling: We can dig beneath the foundation from outside to keep your flooring and home interior intact.
• Epoxy Lining: Trenchless, minimal-disruption repairs are possible in some cases, sealing leaks from inside the pipe.

Insurance Guidance

Most insurance policies in Texas Hill Country will generally cover leak detection, accessing the leak, and property restoration but might not cover the plumbing repair itself. Policies vary a lot, so your best move is to call your insurance agent for details. Need help figuring it out? We can point you in the right direction.
