Why Slab Leaks Happen in Central Texas
- Hard water and high mineral content, which corrode pipes over time
- Shifting soil and foundation movement, which stress pipes beneath the slab
- Improper pipe wrapping or installation, leading to early wear and leaks
How Slab Leaks Are Repaired
Whether you have a supply line or a drain line slab leak, our priority is protecting your home’s structure and completing the repair efficiently and safely.
Water Supply Line Slab Leaks
Most water supply line leaks are repaired by replacing the damaged pipe with flexible PEX tubing. PEX allows the new line to be run through walls, ceilings, or cabinets, resulting in minimal drywall or flooring damage. Only small access cuts are typically needed to connect the new supply line to shut-off valves and fixtures.
Drain Line Slab Leaks
Drain line leaks usually require exposure beneath the slab to replace the damaged sewer pipe. Our plumbers have experience in tunneling under homes to repair and replace drain lines. We ensure each new line is installed with the proper slope for wastewater flow and is sealed properly. We use measures to reduce the necessary cosmetic damage to your home’s flooring.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
Noticeable drop in water pressure throughout your home
Damp or wet spots on carpets or flooring
Warped wood floors or subflooring
Cracks in tile, grout, or concrete floors
Floor areas that feel warmer or cooler than surrounding areas
Sudden spikes in your water bill without increased usage
If you notice any of these warning signs, call Blackstone Plumbing immediately. Early detection can prevent expensive water damage and foundation issues.
Steps to Prevent Water Damage After Finding a Leak
If you discover a plumbing leak, taking quick action can help minimize damage until repairs are completed.
1. Shut Off Water at the Source
If the leak is coming from a faucet, toilet, or appliance, turn off the nearby shut-off valve immediately to stop the flow of water.
2. Turn Off Water to the Home
If the leak is behind a wall, under the floor, or the source is unknown, shut off water to the entire house.
- Locate the main shut-off valve near where the water line enters your home from the city supply
- If you have a water softener, you may be able to shut off water at the system
- For well systems, turn off the well pump to stop water flow
3. Protect the Water Heater
After you’ve turned off water to the water heater or to the entire home, you’ll want to turn off the breaker to the water heater to prevent damage to the heating elements or the unit itself.
Taking these steps quickly can help reduce water damage and protect your home until a plumber can make repairs.
