Find and Fix Leaks Before Damage Spreads

Leak Detection and Repair Services in New Braunfels and surrounding areas

A leak inside your walls, under your slab, or beneath your yard in New Braunfels can run for weeks before you notice it, driving up your water bill and damaging your foundation, flooring, or landscaping. Plumb - New Braunfels LLC offers leak detection and repair services throughout New Braunfels to pinpoint hidden leaks and stop them before they cause serious structural problems.

We use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and moisture meters to locate leaks without tearing up floors or walls unnecessarily. Once we find the leak, we access the damaged section of pipe, repair or replace it, and restore the surrounding area. This approach works for leaks in supply lines, drain lines, slab foundations, and irrigation systems.

If your water bill has jumped unexpectedly or you see wet spots in your New Braunfels home, contact us to schedule a leak inspection.

How We Locate Leaks Without Guessing

We begin by turning off all water fixtures and checking your meter to see if it continues to move, which confirms an active leak somewhere in your New Braunfels property. Then we use electronic listening equipment to trace the sound of water escaping from the pipe and thermal cameras to identify temperature changes in walls or floors.

After the repair, you will see your water meter stop moving when all fixtures are off, your water bill will return to normal, and any damp spots or mold growth will stop spreading. The floor above a slab leak will no longer feel warm or sound hollow when you walk on it.

We make the smallest opening possible to access the leak, then patch and restore the area once the pipe is fixed. In cases where multiple leaks are likely due to aging pipes, we may recommend repiping the affected section to avoid repeated repairs. Detection alone does not fix the problem, but it prevents unnecessary demolition and reduces the overall cost and disruption of the repair.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Homeowners in New Braunfels often ask us how we find leaks, what the repair involves, and whether their insurance will cover the work.

What are the signs of a hidden leak?
Common signs include a high water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on your floor, wet patches in your yard, or a water meter that moves when all fixtures are closed. Mold or mildew odors can also indicate a slow leak.
How accurate is leak detection equipment?
Our acoustic and thermal tools can pinpoint leaks within a few inches, which allows us to make a small, precise opening instead of tearing up large sections of wall or floor.
Will you have to break through my floor to fix a slab leak?
In most cases, yes. We cut a small section of flooring directly above the leak, repair the pipe, and then patch the opening. Some leaks can be rerouted through walls or attics to avoid foundation access.
Does homeowners insurance cover leak detection and repair?
Many policies cover the cost of repairing the leak and the resulting damage, but not the cost of detection itself. You should check your policy or call your insurer before scheduling service.
How long does it take to find and fix a leak?
Detection usually takes one to two hours in a New Braunfels home. Repair time depends on the location and severity of the leak, ranging from a few hours for an exposed pipe to a full day for a slab leak.
