Slab Leak Detection Plano TX starts with listening to your pipes, not your floor. We use electronic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint the exact break under your slab before anyone picks up a jackhammer. If you have a high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water when nothing is on, call us. We serve homeowners across Collin County and find the leak the same day.
Slab Leak Detection Plano TX is the process of finding a pressurized water line leak buried under your concrete foundation without breaking the slab open first. We pressurize the system, then use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras to hear and see where water is escaping. A moisture meter confirms the reading. Once we know the exact spot, we mark it and give you a repair plan. No exploratory demolition. No guessing.
Plano sits on expansive clay soil that swells when it rains and shrinks in summer drought. That movement stresses copper pipe and older PVC pipe under slab, and leaks show up fast. We see it most in homes built before 1995, especially in Deerfield and Whiffletree. If you need slab leak locating Plano TX near me, we can usually be there the same day. We also handle underground pipe leaks and water line breaks tied to the same problem.
Every slab leak detection appointment includes the full locate process and a written report. Repair work is quoted separately so you can decide after you see the evidence. Here is what you get on the detection visit.
We isolate your supply lines and hold 80 PSI for 15 minutes. A pressure drop confirms a pressurized leak. If pressure holds, we test the drain side with a video inspection camera. This step separates a slab leak from a drain issue before we go further.
We walk the slab with acoustic listening devices and a thermal imaging camera. Copper leaks hiss; PEX leaks show as warm streaks. We mark each hit with tape and narrow the leak to a two-foot square on most residential slabs.
A moisture meter reading confirms the thermal and acoustic hits. We log the percentage and compare it to a dry reference spot. That number goes in your report and gives your repair crew a baseline to work from.
You get a one-page report with the marked location, pipe material, pressure readings, thermal photo, and moisture percentage. We email it before we leave. Your insurance company, foundation contractor, or repair plumber can all work from the same document.
We explain both repair paths: direct access through the slab or trenchless repair equipment that pulls a new line through the old one. You get a cost comparison for each. No pressure to decide on the spot, and we credit the locate fee if you hire us for the repair.
We ask three questions: Is your water bill up? Do you hear running water with everything off? Is any floor spot warm? Your answers tell us whether this is a supply-side slab leak or a drain issue. We schedule a two-to-four-hour window and text you when the tech is on the way.
We shut off the main and isolate the supply lines. A pressure testing kit holds 80 PSI on the system for 15 minutes. If pressure drops, we know the leak is on the pressurized side. If it holds, we test the drain lines with a video inspection camera. This step takes about 30 minutes.
We walk the floor with acoustic listening devices and a thermal imaging camera. Copper pipe leaks hiss. PEX tubing leaks show as warm streaks on the thermal screen. We mark each hit with tape and confirm with a moisture meter. Most locates narrow to a two-foot square.
We photograph the thermal image, log the pressure readings, and note the exact depth and pipe material. You get a written locate report with the marked spot. If your insurance or foundation company needs documentation, we email it before we leave your driveway.
We walk you through the findings and give you two repair options: direct access through the slab or trenchless repair equipment that pulls a new line through the old one. You pick. We schedule the repair, and if you want us to handle it, we do. No pressure, no prompt upsell.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Amplifies the hiss of pressurized water escaping under concrete. We walk the slab and mark the loudest point. Accurate to within a few inches on most residential slabs.
Shows temperature differences on the floor surface. Hot-water leaks read as warm streaks; cold-line leaks read as cool spots. We photograph the image for your report.
Confirms drain-line leaks and checks pipe condition after a locate. We push the camera through a cleanout and record the footage. Useful when pressure tests come back clean.
Holds 80 PSI on the supply system for 15 minutes. A pressure drop confirms a pressurized leak. This is the first test we run on every slab leak call.
Traces the path of underground pipe so we know exactly where the line runs. Prevents unnecessary digging and helps the repair crew open the right spot.
Confirms the acoustic and thermal hits with a percentage reading. We compare the wet spot to a dry reference and log both numbers in your report.
Pulls epoxy pipe lining or PEX tubing through the existing line when the pipe is accessible. One small access point instead of a trench across your floor.
A Deerfield homeowner got a $420 water bill and heard water running under the hallway. Two plumbers had already told her the slab would need to be opened in three places to find the leak. She called us for a second opinion.
We pressure-tested the supply lines, found the drop on the hot-water branch, and located the pinhole in 90 minutes with acoustic gear. The repair crew opened one two-foot square and fixed the copper pipe the next day. Her water bill returned to normal the following month.
A Legacy West homeowner noticed a warm streak on the kitchen tile and a musty smell near the baseboards. The home was built in 2015 with PEX tubing, and the homeowner assumed PEX did not leak. The moisture had been there for weeks.
Our thermal camera showed the warm streak clearly, and a moisture meter confirmed 28 percent moisture in the subfloor. We located the failed PEX fitting in under two hours. The repair crew replaced the fitting and dried the subfloor. No mold remediation was needed.
A Whiffletree homeowner had a high water bill and a soft spot in the bathroom floor. One plumber said it was a drain leak; another said it was a supply leak. Nobody had run a test to confirm. The homeowner was stuck between two repair quotes.
We ran a pressure test first. It held, which ruled out the supply side. Then we pushed a RIDGID SeeSnake camera through the cleanout and found a cracked PVC drain line under the bathroom. The repair crew replaced a three-foot section and patched the slab in one day.
A slab leak shows up in ways most homeowners do not connect to plumbing. If any of these sound familiar, an affordable slab leak locating in Plano appointment will tell you exactly what is happening under your floor.

Most slab leak detection jobs in Plano run $250 to $450 for a full electronic locate with a written report. The price depends on home size, slab type, and how many lines we need to isolate. If you hire us for the repair, we credit that locate fee toward the total. We quote the exact number before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

A moisture meter confirms the reading. We mark the spot, photograph the evidence, and give you a written report. The whole process takes two to four hours and requires no digging.
Yes. Our electronic slab leak detection Plano TX process is entirely non-invasive. We never break concrete to find the leak.
