Slab Leak Detection & Repair
in Lago Vista, TX
Hidden Water Leaks Under Your Home? We'll Find and Fix Them.
A slab leak is a water pipe failure beneath the concrete foundation of your Lago Vista, TX home. These leaks are hidden from view, but their effects — warm spots on floors, rising water bills, damp flooring, and foundation cracking — signal serious damage if left unaddressed. Jarrod’s Plumbing specializes in slab leak detection and repair, using non-invasive acoustic listening, infrared thermal imaging, and pressure testing to locate the leak precisely before any concrete is touched. We offer multiple repair options to match your home’s specific situation.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak in Lago Vista, TX
Slab leaks can go unnoticed for weeks before they cause obvious damage. Knowing the warning signs helps Lago Vista homeowners act before small leaks become serious structural problems. Common indicators include:
- Unexplained increases in your water bill without a visible leak
- Warm or damp spots on your floor (hot water line leaks are particularly common)
- The sound of running water when all fixtures are off
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Cracks in baseboards, walls, or flooring
- Mold or mildew odors near the floor
If you notice any of these signs, contact Jarrod’s Plumbing for a slab leak evaluation. Early detection significantly limits the repair scope and cost.
How We Detect and Repair Slab Leaks in Lago Vista, TX
Jarrod’s Plumbing uses a multi-method approach to slab leak detection that minimizes guesswork and unnecessary concrete cutting. We begin with pressure testing to confirm a leak exists in the pressurized system, then use acoustic listening equipment to narrow the leak location, and thermal infrared imaging to confirm the precise spot beneath the slab. This three-step process is more accurate than relying on any single method, and it means we open the concrete at exactly the right location — not near it. After detection, we explain the repair options and let you choose the approach that fits your home and budget.
Our Slab Leak Repair Options in Lago Vista, TX
Once the leak is precisely located, Jarrod’s Plumbing offers three proven repair approaches depending on the extent and location of the damage. Spot repair involves opening the slab at the leak location, replacing the damaged pipe section, and re-sealing the concrete — best for isolated leaks in otherwise sound pipe. Pipe rerouting bypasses the damaged section by running a new line through walls or the attic, avoiding slab access entirely — preferred when the leak is in a location that’s difficult to access or when surrounding pipe is also aging. Tunnel access through the tunnel plumbing method reaches pipes beneath deep or reinforced slabs with minimal surface disruption. We recommend the repair method that gives you the most durable, cost-effective outcome.
What to Expect During Your Slab Leak Service
When you call Jarrod’s Plumbing for a slab leak in Lago Vista, TX, here’s what happens: we arrive and confirm the symptoms, conduct pressure testing to confirm a pressurized system leak, deploy acoustic and thermal detection equipment to locate the leak precisely, walk you through our findings, and provide repair options with upfront pricing. Most slab leak detections can be completed in a single visit. Repairs typically begin within one to two days depending on scope. We keep you informed throughout the process and restore the concrete access point after the repair is complete. For severe slab leaks that have been running for an extended time, we also advise on addressing any resulting foundation moisture concerns.
Our Slab Leak Detection Technology
Acoustic Leak Detection
We use sensitive listening devices to hear leaking water beneath the concrete slab—without cutting into floors or walls unnecessarily.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Heat-sensitive cameras help us identify temperature changes where hot water lines may be leaking under your foundation.
Precision Camera Inspections
We insert small cameras into accessible plumbing lines to visually locate cracks, pinhole leaks, or corroded sections.
Jarrod’s Plumbing’s multi-technology detection approach ensures accuracy and minimizes guesswork — saving you time, money, and home disruption. Our acoustic listening equipment detects the sound signature of pressurized water escaping through a pipe breach. Thermal infrared cameras reveal temperature differentials in flooring caused by hot water line leaks. Together, these methods pinpoint the leak to within inches before any concrete is disturbed. We document our findings so you have a clear record of what was found and where.
