Why Slab Leaks Are So Common Here
Our team knows that most Corpus Christi homes sit on a concrete slab with the water and drain lines underneath. The Coastal Bend's clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, and that movement stresses the lines until they crack. Older copper and galvanized pipe fails first. Add hard water that scours pipe from the inside and salt air that corrodes anything exposed, and a slab leak is a matter of when, not if, for many older homes.
Slab Leak Detection Near Me
Our plumbers use acoustic listening equipment to hear water escaping under the slab, pressure tests to isolate which line is losing water, and thermal imaging to spot warm hot-water leaks under floors and in walls. The point is to pinpoint the leak so the repair opens the smallest possible area, not to start breaking concrete on a guess. That precision is how we ensure high-quality outcomes. We will ensure that your slab leak repair in Corpus Christi is handled by professionals.
Repair Options
Once the leak is located, the usual options are a spot repair through the slab at the leak, a reroute of that line overhead through the attic so the slab stays untouched, or a repipe if the line is failing in several places. Which one makes sense depends on the age and material of the pipe and where the leak is, and we will tell you straight.
Other Hidden Leaks
Leaks inside walls behind showers and tubs, under kitchen floors, in yard supply lines between the meter and the house, and in irrigation lines are found the same way and repaired with the least disruption possible, handled by professionals from start to finish.
