Slab Leak Detection
in Lago Vista, TX
Slab leaks are among the most damaging plumbing problems a Lago Vista homeowner can face—and the hardest to spot without the right tools. Jarrod’s Plumbing uses acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks beneath your concrete foundation, giving you an accurate location before any concrete is touched. Detection first, repair second—that’s how we keep the job scope controlled.
Professional Slab Leak Detection Services
Slab leaks occur when water or drain lines that run beneath a concrete slab begin to leak. In Lago Vista, TX, ground movement, soil composition, and aging pipe materials are common contributing factors. Left undetected, a slab leak can erode the soil beneath the foundation, promote mold growth, and cause significant structural damage—often without any water visible at the surface.
Jarrod’s Plumbing uses two primary detection technologies: acoustic amplification to hear the sound of water escaping through a pressurized line, and thermal imaging to identify temperature anomalies in the concrete slab that indicate a hot or cold water leak beneath. These non-invasive methods allow us to locate the leak precisely, minimizing how much concrete we need to remove for repair.
Once the leak is located, we document its position and discuss repair options with you. For straightforward cases, a targeted open-and-repair approach works well. For older homes with widespread pipe degradation, slab leak repair may involve rerouting the line above the slab rather than digging through the foundation.
Common Signs of a Slab Leak
Slab leaks rarely make themselves obvious. Common warning signs include water bills that have increased without a clear explanation, warm or wet sections of flooring (often from a hot water line leak beneath the slab), the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, cracks appearing in interior walls or flooring, and unexplained damp or moldy odors in lower areas of the home.
If you recognize any of these signs, contact Jarrod’s Plumbing promptly. The longer a slab leak runs undetected, the more extensive the damage to the surrounding soil, foundation, and structure. Early detection through our professional leak detection service is always less expensive than addressing the consequences of a leak that’s been running for weeks or months.
Residential Slab Leak Solutions
After detection, Jarrod’s Plumbing presents repair options suited to the specific situation—location, pipe material, access points, and extent of any existing damage. For under-slab pipe repairs, we use targeted concrete saw-cutting to reach only the affected section. For more extensive pipe degradation, line rerouting through walls or attic spaces avoids the slab entirely and provides a fresh pipe run that bypasses the damaged section.
Homes with multiple slab leak incidents or widespread pipe corrosion may benefit from whole-house repiping—a comprehensive solution that replaces aging pipe throughout the home with modern, durable materials. We walk through the economics of each approach so you can make the decision that makes sense for your home and budget.
