Slab Leak Detection in Houston
Houston's clay soil shifts, and that movement is hard on the pipes running under your slab. A leak down there can go months without a sign, then show up as a spiked water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or a crack in the foundation. We use electronic detection to pinpoint the leak — no guesswork, no tearing up floors to go looking — and where it helps, hydrostatic testing to confirm it's under the slab.
- Electronic detection pinpoints the leak
- Hydrostatic testing confirms under-slab leaks
- Under-slab tunneling — no jackhammered floors
We locate the leak before we open the floor
A slab leak can quietly run for months — a spiked bill, a warm patch on the floor, a meter that ticks with every tap off. We use electronic detection and hydrostatic testing to find exactly where the pipe is leaking under the slab, so any repair is aimed at one spot instead of tearing up the whole floor to hunt for it.

How it works
Walk the home
We check fixtures, under sinks, irrigation, and your water meter for the tell-tale signs — a meter creeping with no water running, a warm floor, a musty smell.
Pinpoint the leak
Electronic detection locates the leak under the slab, and hydrostatic testing confirms it, so we know exactly where to work before anything is opened up.
Lay out the repair
You get a written estimate and a plan. For under-slab leaks that usually means tunneling in from outside, not jackhammering your floors.
Fix it for good
We make the repair and, where the pipe is failing throughout, talk honestly about whether a repipe is the smarter long-term fix.
Done right, done fast, done for good
We install expansion-type PEX-A and nothing else — the pipe that came through Houston's hard freezes when copper and CPVC were splitting. Certified installers, honest pricing, and a warranty that outlasts the job.
Uponor-certified
Trained and certified on PEX-A systems, so the job is installed to spec.
On time, on budget
Most repipes wrap in one to two days, with running water every evening.
25-year warranty
Parts and labor covered on repipes, and it transfers to the buyer if you sell.
No-pressure consults
We show you the options and let you decide. No hard sell, ever.
5.0 stars from Houston homeowners
Real reviews from Houston-area homeowners we've repiped.
“They were professional and great. The team was perfect.”
“Great company, very professional, on time and did an amazing job on removing and installing two brand new water heaters. Would definitely recommend for all your plumbing needs.”
“Could not recommend Lance more for plumbing needs. We used Lance for a whole house repipe, new water heaters, and toilet replacement. From the very beginning Lance was responsive, informative, and easy to work with. He explained the job thoroughly, gave us a very competitive quote, and provided a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
