Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Warm floor spots, a jump in your water bill, low pressure, or running-water sounds with everything off are the top signs. We confirm it with electronic detection.
Why are slab leaks common in San Antonio?
Our expansive clay soil shifts with wet and dry seasons, stressing and cracking pipes under the slab.
Will you have to break my floor?
Not always. We often reroute the line to avoid major demolition, and we locate the leak precisely first.
