Leak Detection in Houston
Your water bill spiked, but you cannot see a leak. Or there is a wet spot under the house, but no visible pipe damage. Hidden leaks inside slab foundations are common in Houston, and finding them requires specialized equipment. The plumber we route you to uses acoustic and thermal technology to pinpoint the exact location before breaking concrete.
Why this comes up in Houston
Houston's slab-on-grade construction means water lines run directly under your concrete foundation. When a line ruptures, the water leaks into the soil and concrete, not into visible spaces. Expansive clay that shifts under the foundation can crack these buried pipes over years. Hard water and freeze damage also weaken hidden lines. These leaks can go undetected for weeks until the wet spot spreads or your water bill soars. Finding them requires acoustic listening devices or thermal imaging to avoid unnecessary concrete cutting.
Do this before you call
Turn everything off, then check whether the water meter is still creeping. If it is, you have a leak somewhere on your side of the meter, and that is worth saying on the call.
