How our slab leak repair process works
We keep it simple: find the leak, fix it, test it, and clean up.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
We connect this to your system to pressurize the lines and see if they hold. A drop in pressure confirms a leak. We also use it to test after repair.
A RIDGID sewer camera lets us see inside your pipes. We check for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages that might be causing the leak.
We use a pipe cutter to remove the damaged section of copper pipe cleanly. This ensures a proper fit for the new pipe and fittings.
For copper repairs, we use a soldering torch to sweat new fittings onto the pipe. This creates a strong, leak-free joint that lasts for decades.

How slab leak repair works in Schertz
Schertz sits on clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with our wet and dry seasons. That movement puts stress on copper pipes under your slab, causing cracks and leaks. We see more slab leaks after a dry summer or a hard freeze.
Schertz proper
Many homes here were built in the 1970s and 1980s with copper pipes. We see slab leaks from pipe fatigue and soil movement. We know where the lines run in these floor plans.
Cibolo
Newer construction often uses PEX tubing. Leaks here are usually from fittings or accidental damage during landscaping. We repair both PEX and copper.
Garden Ridge
Larger lots mean longer water lines. A leak can go unnoticed longer. We use sensitive listening equipment to find leaks in these sprawling ranches.

Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
876383746The price depends on whether we repair the line in place or reroute it, how deep the pipe is, and whether we need to cut concrete. We give you a flat price before we start.
You might also see cracks in your tile or baseboards. If you notice any of these, call us for slab leak detection near me schertz. We can confirm it in about an hour.
Yes. Water under a slab softens the soil, which can cause the foundation to shift and crack. In Schertz, our clay-heavy soil makes this worse. A leak that runs for a few weeks can lead to cracks in walls and uneven floors. Fixing the leak stops the damage, but you may still need a foundation specialist for existing cracks.
Most repairs take one to two days. Day one is detection and cutting the concrete. Day two is the actual pipe repair, pressure test, and concrete patch. If we reroute the line through the attic, it can take three days because we run new pipe and patch more access points. We give you a timeline before we start.
