Service Details

A slab leak is one of the most serious plumbing problems we see in Texas homes. When a water line leaks under the concrete foundation, it can waste water, raise your bill, damage flooring, and even affect the stability of your home if it is left alone too long. At Plunger Pros, we provide slab leak repair with careful testing, honest recommendations, and quality workmanship. That is what we mean by Plumbing Done The Proper Way.

We are based in New Braunfels, TX and serve New Braunfels, San Antonio, and surrounding areas. Our team is licensed and insured, and we bring a personal, professional approach to every job. If you think you may have a slab leak, we are ready to help you find the source and fix it before the damage gets worse.

What a slab leak is

A slab leak happens when a water pipe running below your home’s concrete foundation develops a crack, hole, or weak spot. This can happen on either a hot water line or a cold water line. In some homes, shifting soil, pipe corrosion, age, poor water quality, high water pressure, or abrasion from pipes rubbing against concrete can all play a role.

Because the leak is hidden under the slab, the signs are often easy to miss at first. Many homeowners only notice the problem after their water bill climbs or they start seeing damage inside the house.

Common signs of a slab leak

If you notice any of the following, it is a good idea to have your plumbing checked:

  • Unexplained increase in your water bill
  • The sound of running water when no fixtures are on
  • Warm spots on the floor
  • Wet flooring, damp carpet, or moisture under vinyl or wood floors
  • Cracks in flooring, walls, or the foundation
  • Low water pressure
  • Mildew or musty odors
  • Water pooling around the base of your home
  • Your water meter moving when no water is being used

Not every leak under a foundation is obvious. That is why we take time to inspect the system and confirm what is really happening before recommending a repair.

Our slab leak repair process

We believe the best results come from a clear, step-by-step process. When we come out for slab leak service, we focus on locating the leak accurately and choosing the repair method that makes the most sense for your home.

1. Initial inspection

We start by asking about the symptoms you have noticed, such as rising water bills, hot spots, low pressure, or visible moisture. We also inspect accessible plumbing, your water meter, and the general condition of the system.

2. Leak detection

Finding the exact location of a slab leak matters. The more accurate the diagnosis, the less disruption there is to your home. We use professional methods to narrow down the problem area and determine whether the leak is under the slab, in the yard, or somewhere else in the plumbing system.

3. Honest repair recommendation

Once we know what we are dealing with, we explain your options in plain language. Depending on the location of the leak, the age of the pipe, and the condition of the line, we may recommend a spot repair, reroute, or another solution that gives you the best long-term value.

4. Repair and system testing

After the repair is made, we test the line to confirm the leak has been resolved and that the plumbing system is working the way it should. Our goal is not just to stop the active leak, but to make sure the repair holds up.

Slab leak repair options

There is no one-size-fits-all fix for a slab leak. The right repair depends on several factors, including pipe material, accessibility, the number of leaks present, and whether the line shows signs of widespread wear.

Direct access spot repair

If the leak is isolated and the pipe is otherwise in good shape, a spot repair may be the right option. This involves accessing the area of the leak and repairing the damaged section of pipe. This can be an effective solution when the problem is limited to one specific area.

Pipe rerouting

In many cases, rerouting is the better long-term repair. Instead of opening the slab to fix the original line, we create a new path for the water line through walls, ceilings, or attic spaces when appropriate. This can reduce future risk if the pipe under the slab has become unreliable.

Line replacement when needed

If there are multiple leaks or the piping system is aging and failing in more than one place, replacing part of the line or planning for a broader repipe may be the smarter investment. We will always explain why we are recommending a certain repair and help you understand the pros and cons.

Why fast slab leak repair matters

Waiting too long can turn a smaller plumbing issue into a much larger and more expensive problem. A hidden foundation leak can lead to:

  • Higher monthly water costs
  • Damage to flooring and baseboards
  • Mold and mildew growth from ongoing moisture
  • Reduced water pressure throughout the home
  • Foundation movement or soil washout in severe cases
  • More extensive plumbing repairs later

If you suspect a leak under your slab, early action can protect both your plumbing system and your home.
