Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Arlington, Texas

A hidden leak announces itself through a bill that climbs, a floor that stays damp or a spot underfoot that feels warm. Call, say which you notice, and we connect you with a plumber to find the source.

Hidden leaks sit in walls, under slabs and in yard lines, and each one is found a different way.

Finding the leak

Meter and pressure checks

Water on the floor, a damp patch or a bill that jumps for no reason are all worth a call. The plumber finds the source before any wall or floor is opened.

Leaks inside walls and ceilings

A stain that spreads, paint that bubbles or a musty smell may mean water behind the surface. Moisture readings and listening gear narrow down the spot before anything is cut open.

Slab leaks

Warm spots on the floor, running-water sounds and a bill that keeps climbing may all point to a line beneath the slab. After locating it, the plumber repairs the line or reroutes it.

Yard line leaks

Ground that stays soft after the rain has stopped can sit above a break in the line feeding the house. The plumber traces the line until the break shows itself.

When fixing a leak becomes new work

For one- and two-family homes, Arlington’s technical bulletin lets you stop leaks in drain, water, soil, waste or vent pipe without a plumbing permit, provided nothing in the line is replaced or rearranged.

If a concealed trap or pipe has to come out and be replaced with new material, Arlington calls that new work, and a permit and an inspection come with it.

When a leak calls for new pipe, continue to the repiping page, or go back to the homepage for every service.
