Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair in Round Rock

Round Rock learned the hard way what water is worth — the 1978 drought emptied the city's wells and left it dry for weeks. These days the water bill arrives instead: a surprise $300 statement, a warm spot on the tile in your Sendero Springs kitchen, the meter spinning at 2 AM. We find the leak without jackhammering your floor "to check."

The Warning Signs

• A City of Round Rock utility bill that jumped a tier or two with no change in habits
• Warm or hot spots on the floor — a hot-side slab leak under your feet
• The low-flow indicator on your meter moving with everything off
• Doors sticking, new foundation hairlines, damp carpet edges
• The sound of running water in a wall at night

How We Find Leaks Without Demolition

We isolate the system, pressure-test hot vs. cold vs. irrigation lines, then locate with acoustic listening and thermal imaging. A clean slab leak typically narrows the dig to one tile or a small section — not exploratory trenching. The $250–$450 detection visit includes a written report with photos and a fixed repair quote. Spot repairs under slab run $1,200–$3,500 depending on access and pipe condition; if the line is old enough that one leak means three more, we'll show you reroute options (often cheaper than repeated slab digs).

Don't Forget the PRV

High municipal pressure accelerates every leak. The pressure-reducing valve at your meter protects every fixture and appliance in the house — a failed PRV shows up as banging pipes, dripping relief valves, and premature appliance death. Replacement is $350–$650 installed with before/after pressure tests. It's the cheapest insurance against the next slab leak.
