A slab leak is a break or pinhole in a water or sewer line buried beneath your home’s concrete foundation. Most homes across North Texas, including Nevada, sit on concrete slab foundations. That means the pipes carrying water in and waste out run right under that concrete.
When one of those pipes fails, water escapes into the ground below your home. You may not notice it happening, but it doesn’t stop on its own. Over time, that moisture erodes the soil, shifts the slab, and turns a plumbing problem into a structural one. The earlier you catch a slab leak, the less it costs to fix.
Slab leaks are easy to miss early on because the pipe is completely hidden. Instead of a visible drip, you get secondary signals that most homeowners chalk up to something else. Here’s what to watch for:
If one or more of these are showing up at once, calling now is the right move — not after the next water bill arrives.
Cutting into a concrete slab in the wrong spot is an expensive mistake. Getting the detection right is what separates a one-cut job from a three-cut job. We locate the leak accurately before any demolition begins.
The flat fee for sending a plumber to you within normal hours (7am-5pm) is $49. Outside of normal hours, the fee increases to $200. Additional cost depends on the method deemed necessary to fix the issue.
We use acoustic listening devices to trace the sound of escaping water through the slab. This equipment can pinpoint a leak within inches, which cuts out the guesswork that leads to unnecessary concrete removal.
We isolate individual lines and run pressure tests to confirm where the failure is and how severe it is. This also tells us whether the problem is isolated to one pipe or affecting more of the system.
For hot water line leaks, thermal imaging gives us a picture of temperature variation across your floor. A leaking hot water line shows up as a heat signature, even through tile or hardwood.
We’ll walk you through what we found before any work begins. You’ll know what’s leaking, where it is, and what it’ll take to fix it.
The right fix depends on where the leak is, what shape the surrounding plumbing is in, and how much floor disruption makes sense. We explain the options for every job. You decide what fits.

When the leak is in an accessible area and the surrounding pipe is in solid shape, we open a targeted section of concrete, repair or replace the damaged section, repour the concrete, and restore the surface. It’s the most direct fix when conditions support it.
When the damaged pipe runs beneath heavy tile work or a structural section of the slab, rerouting is often the smarter long-term call. We redirect the supply line through the walls or attic, bypassing the old underground pipe entirely. The slab stays intact.
For certain pipe sizes and layouts, we can seal the leak from the inside with an epoxy liner, no concrete removal required. It works best when the pipe’s overall structure is still sound outside the leak point.
We’ll give you a straight read on which option fits your situation, and why. If a less invasive approach will hold up just as well, that’s the one we’ll call.
