Leak Detection in Houston, TX
Slab leaks are extremely common in Houston — clay soil moves with every wet/dry cycle and stresses the supply lines under your foundation. PipePilot uses electronic leak detection, acoustic equipment, and pressure testing to find leaks without unnecessary jackhammering. We catch hidden leaks before they cause mold, foundation damage, or a $400 water bill. Whether the leak is under your slab, behind a wall, or out at the meter, we locate it and quote the repair before any cutting begins. Houston has the metro's oldest housing stock — Heights and Montrose pre-1960 homes still run original cast iron pipes that fail at the joints. Clay soil city-wide causes sewer line bellying, and Hurricane Harvey left thousands of homes with lingering pipe and water heater damage.
