Our Services:Slab Leak Detection & Repair
A leak under your slab can soften the soil and move your foundation. We test the lines, find the leak, and handle the foundation side of the repair.
Straight answers on what is leaking.
We show you the test results and tell you which line is leaking and how we found it, before anyone breaks concrete.

What causes slab leaks in Spring, TX
Aging cast-iron drains
Many 1970s and 80s homes in Champion Forest, Northgate Forest and Klein still have original cast-iron drains that corrode and crack.
Clay movement
As clay swells and shrinks, it shifts the slab and stresses the pipes running through it.
Copper pipe wear
Copper supply lines can wear through where they rub against concrete or gravel.
Hard water
Mineral-heavy water speeds corrosion inside older lines.
Poor original installation
Kinked or poorly bedded lines put under a slab decades ago can fail over time.
Earlier foundation movement
A slab that has settled or heaved may have already cracked a drain line.
How we find and fix slab leaks
- STEP 01Pressure test
Hydrostatic and supply line tests confirm whether a line is leaking.

The leak is pinpointed with a camera inspection and electronic locating.
- STEP 03Choose access
We recommend tunneling under the slab or breaking through, based on where the leak is.

A licensed plumber fixes or reroutes the line.
- STEP 05Restore and check
Tunnels are backfilled and compacted, and elevations are checked for foundation movement.
Slab leak repair costs
Cost depends on how the leak is reached. Tunneling costs more but leaves floors inside the home untouched.
FAQs
Do you do the plumbing repair?
Plumbing repairs are made by a licensed plumber. We coordinate the work and handle the foundation side.
Tunnel or break the slab?
Tunneling avoids breaking floors inside the home but costs more on long runs. Breaking through is faster for a leak near an outside wall.
Can a slab leak damage my foundation?
Yes. Water under the slab can swell clay and lift the floor, or wash soil out and leave a void.
Does insurance cover slab leaks?
Many policies cover access and repair for a sudden leak but not the pipe itself or soil movement. Check your policy.
